However, if there is a block between the composter and comparator, the comparator does not immediately update.Ĭomposters can interact with hoppers. 7 is for completely full but the bone meal is not ready to collect, and 8 for completely full and the bone meal is ready to collect. With a composter behind it (either directly, or separated by an unpowered solid block), a comparator outputs a signal strength between 0 and 8, proportional to how full the composter is: 0 for empty, 1 for 1⁄ 7 full, 2 for 2⁄ 7 full, and so on to 6. If a village has a composter that has not been claimed by a villager, any resident villager who has not already chosen a job site block has a chance to change their profession to farmer.Ī composter can act as a power source for a redstone comparator. The exception is cookies, because each recipe produces 8 cookies, and together those give more than 3 times the compost. Smaller pieces (individual pieces of wheat, melon slices, etc.) produce more compost than the blocks or other items that can be made from them. The following table shows the items that can be used in a composter, the percent chance for an item to add a level of compost, and the average number of items needed to fill a composter. When the composter reaches the 7th layer of compost, the compost changes appearance indicating that bone meal can be collected by using the composter a final time. Each layer of compost has a podzol-like appearance. The higher the percentage of an item, the more likely it is for it to add another layer of compost.

The table below lists supported items, which have different levels of compost-ability. When successfully adding an item, a green particle ( ) appears.

The composter can be filled with compost, which is done by adding compostable items to it. When the composter’s fullness increases, any entities inside are pushed up accordingly‌.‌ Composting When the composter is completely empty, this floor is slightly above the block below, and when it is completely full, there is a slight dip on top. The composter has a 'floor', whose height depends on the fullness. As such, entities can enter and exit a composter through the top, but not the sides or bottom. When an adjacent comparator is facing away from the composter, a comparator signal strength of up to 8 is emitted depending on the fullness of the block.Ĭomposters appear to have an empty interior. To do so, the player must use any of a selection of items on the composter. Composters can be used to recycle food and plant items (excluding bamboo, poisonous potatoes, dead bushes, meat, and fish) into bone meal.
