This mod adds, like the title suggests, two new fertilizers to the game: Organic Fertilizer and Phosphate Dust.
The purpose of this is to add a way to give the bonus to potassium that can be gained from Potash to the other two nutrients, so that way a player can theoretically get a block of farmland with a base 95 for all nutrients.
Organic fertilizer is made by placing a ring of 8 compost around a stack of 64 dry grass. It adds 60% Nitrogen to any farm block in addition to the permanent increase. I'm toying with a recipe that doesn't involve compost, but I want this one to be a bit more involved due to the overall usefulness of Nitrogen.
Phosphate dust is 9 bonemeal in a 3x3 square. It adds 60% Phosphates in addition to the permanent boost. This one is easy because, let's face it, there aren't that many plants that use Phosphates. Out of 17 vanilla crops, 16 if we don't count Pumpkins, 4 (3 without pumpkins) use Phosphates.
(These recipes will be updated over time for balance concerns)
Any advice, help, criticism, etc is all welcomed.

Finally managed to master remapping textures and shapes, updated textures of the two fertilizers to their original intent. | |||||||

The first release, with possibly much improvement to come. Built for 1.21.5, so I don't know about other compatibility. | |||||||
I find the grass amount for organic fertilizer a little bit steep in my opinion, maybe slightly less, perhaps about half a stack, would be a decent alternative due to the waiting game that is composting, but I do like that compost is used in a much more powerful fertilizer. Otherwise I find the phosphate dust to be very balanced, and finally allows me to save my precious saltpeter for explosives
Amazing idea, and I feel the recipes are balanced as they are right now. There ain't another viable source of phosphates in the game than bones, and this still requires both making compost (takes an ungodly whole month to make) and bonemeal (which requires a quern, meaning you've reached metalworking enough to make a chisel), so pretty balanced without any other mods influencing these factors tbh.
Excellent idea, I'll download it and provide feedback if necessary.
