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.jsonfile.
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.)

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