📋 About This Mod
## Features Makes a lot of vanilla items compostable, including rotten flesh, poisonous potatoes, foods, and many more (see the list below). These items are compostable in the following ways: - By putting them in a hopper on top of a composter, the same way you would do with vanilla-compostable items. - By ***dropping* them inside a composter** (vanilla items are also given this feature). *Composting by right-clicking is not possible due to datapack limitations*. _(https://youtu.be/S8mXr1R7Kl0)_ This datapack was tested in a multiplayer server with ~10 players and performed well without any noticeable performance issue. ### List of new compostable items <details> <summary>10% chance</summary> <ul><li>Sugar </li><li>Honeycomb </li><li>Spider eye </li><li>Fermented spider eye </li><li>Phantom membrane </li><li>Turtle and armadillo scutes </li><li>Rabbit hide </li><li>Bamboo </li><li>String </li><li>Feather </li><li>Slimeball </li><li>Magma cream </li><li>Ink Sac (both glow and regular) </li><li>Any dye </li><li>Stick </li><li>Carpets</li></ul> </details> <details> <summary>30% chance</summary> <ul><li>Chorus fruit </li><li>Popped chorus fruit </li><li>Chorus flower </li><li>Honey block </li><li>Honeycomb block </li><li>Rotten flesh </li><li>Chicken eggs </li><li>Turtle egg </li><li>Leather </li><li>Dead bush </li><li>Charcoal </li><li>Wool </li><li>Slime block </li><li>Nautilus shell </li><li>Paper </li><li>Cobweb </li><li>Goat horn </li><li>Muddy mangrove roots</li> </li><li>Pale moss carpet</li> </li><li>Pale hanging moss</li> </li><li>Bush and firefly bush</li> </li><li>Cactus flower</li> </li><li>Dry grass</li> </li><li>Leaf litter</li> </li><li>Wildflowers</li></ul> </details> <details> <summary>50% chance</summary> <ul><li>Cooked chicken, cod, mutton, porkchop, rabbit, beef, and salmon </li><li>Crimson/warped nylium</li></ul> </details> <details> <summary>65% chance</summary> <ul><li>Poisonous potato </li><li>Corals (dead or alive) </li><li>Bee nest</li></ul> </details> <details> <summary>85% chance</summary> <ul><li>Beetroot soup </li><li>Mushroom/rabbit/suspicious stew </li><li>Coral blocks (dead or alive) </li><li>Sculk vein</li></ul> </details> <details> <summary>100% chance</summary> <ul><li>Mycelium </li><li>Sculk </li><li>Sculk catalyst/shrieker/sensor/calibrated sensor</li></ul> </details> This datapack aims to contain all vanilla items which should be compostable in a realistic way, so if you find any item that is missing or should be changed, please contact me. ### FAQ <details> <summary>The composter isn't working when I right click on it</summary> Read the description: right-clicking is only supported for items that are compostable in vanilla.

Run this function if you want to stop using the datapack to ensure it leaves no trace. All composter markers will be removed, meaning that if you want to use the datapack again after uninstalling it, you will have to manually replace already existing composters in order for the datapack to register them again.
