Composting Redux

Status: Work In Progress (WIP)


Composting Redux introduces a single, dedicated utility block designed to manage organic waste. The mod provides a straightforward, time-based method for converting spoiled items and organic materials into compost.

The Compost Bin converts items like rot, grains, and vegetables into compost at a 2:1 ratio, which is significantly faster than the base game's standard 4:1 conversion rate.

Key Mechanics 

  • Adds the Compost Bin block.
  • Composting is time-dependent and can be accelerated by using a Shovel interaction, which now includes animations and particle effects.
  • Custom Compostables: Easily configure additional items to be composted using the compostingreduxconfig.json file.

Recent Improvements (v1.0.3 Highlights) 

  • Shovel Feedback: Turning compost now provides visual feedback (animation, sound, particles).
  • Configuration: Added settings to easily define new compostable item paths.
  • Handbook: Includes a more comprehensive guide on using the Compost Bin.
  • Optimization: Reduced the internal tick rate to lower CPU usage.
  • Quality of Life: Tooltip time is now displayed in days instead of hours.

Future Additions 

Non-exhaustive list of things being considered for this mod:

  • Temperature effects on composting speed.
  • "Pit"-like composting area.

Known Issues 

  • Model Clipping: Minor visual clipping issues with the fill level. (This is due to my modeling abilities.)

1.0.3 61 2 days ago compostingredux_1.0.3.zip 1-click install

Version 1.0.3

This version includes some additions and changes that might be nice :)

Added

  • Custom Compostable Items: You can now add different items to be compostable! (Kudos to @itinerare for the idea). To do this, edit your compostingreduxconfig.json file and add a path to either the CompostablePathPrefixes or CompostableExactPaths field.
  • Shovel Turning Feedback: Turning the compost now provides visual and auditory feedback, including a shovel animation, sound effects, and particle effects.
  • More Comprehensive Handbook Guide: The handbook now offers a better, more detailed guide on how to use the composter.

Changes

  • Tooltip Time Unit: Changed the compost time displayed in the tooltip from hours to **days**. This aligns better with base game conventions.
  • Fill Model Adjustment: The dirt fill models are now slightly smaller. This resolves texture clipping issues, though it may result in seeing the bin's bottom when looking straight down.
  • Tick Rate Reduced: The block entity now ticks every **ten seconds** instead of every second. This should make the mod less CPU intensive, at the minor cost of it not updating instantly if, for example, game time is rapidly advanced.

Other changes include refactoring the code to make future updates and additions easier for me.

Made it so the composting bin is actually craftable

This update actually adds the logic to store values in a config.

The config can be found under compostingreduxconfig.json

Great mod! I've been wanting something like this for a while, now.

 

Would love if it was possible to configure what can be composted, though given that rot itself works, it's hardly urgent.

Hey, for sure I'll give this a try - would much rather compost in an actual compost bin than a barrel!

Add some pictures my dude - I'm gonna get anyway, but if I was less decided about it I'd probably want to know if the new compost bin can store more rot, and if it takes up two blocks (instead of barrels 1) or not (the latter of which can be confirmed visually). Either way, I look forward to it and thank you for making!

Oh, whoops... I guess that's what happens when you forget to check if you can actually craft something in survival lol. Just released 1.0.2 which makes it craftable 

💬 snagawag, 4 days ago

very cool idea. it was showing up as having the same recipe as the large trough i couldnt make it in survival
