A '''composter''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] that converts some biological material into [[Minecraft:bone meal]]. It also serves as a [[Minecraft:farmer]]'s [[Minecraft:job site block]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Composters can be broken using any [[Minecraft:tool]], though an [[Minecraft:axe]] is the fastest. The composter does not retain the compost inside; instead, it drops empty.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Composter|axe}}

=== Natural generation ===
Composters generate in [[Minecraft:village]] farms. They can also generate in [[Minecraft:trail ruins]].

== Usage ==
Composters can be used to recycle a selection of [[Minecraft:food]] and plant [[Minecraft:item]]s into [[Minecraft:bone meal]]. To do so, the [[Minecraft:player]] must {{ctrl|use}} any of a selection of items on the composter. When an adjacent [[Minecraft:comparator]] is facing away from the composter, a comparator signal strength of up to 8 is emitted depending on the fullness of the [[Minecraft:block]].

Composters appear to have an empty interior. As such, [[Minecraft:entities]] can enter and exit a composter through the top, but not the sides or bottom. The composter has a "floor", whose height depends on the fullness. 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. {{IN|be}}, when the composter’s fullness increases, any [[Minecraft:Entity|entities]] inside are pushed up accordingly.

=== Composting ===
The composter can be filled with compost, which is done by adding compostable [[Minecraft:item]]s to it. When successfully adding an item, a green [[Minecraft:particle]] ([[File:Glint (texture) JE1 BE1.png|25px]]) appears. The table below lists supported items, which have different composting chances. The higher the percentage of an item, the more likely it is for it to add another layer of compost. However, when the composter is empty, any compostable item added always creates the first layer of compost, regardless of its usual composting chance.<ref>{{bug|MC-196452}}</ref> Each layer of compost has a [[Minecraft:podzol]]-like appearance. When the composter reaches the 7th layer of compost and once {{convert|20|gt|s}} have passed, the compost changes appearance indicating that [[Minecraft:bone meal]] can be collected by {{ctrl|using}} the composter a final time or by breaking the composter.

The following table shows the [[Minecraft:item]]s 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. 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 exception is cookies, because each recipe produces 8 cookies, and together those give more than 3 times the compost.

Despite being plants, it is not possible to compost [[Minecraft:bamboo]],<ref>{{bug|MC-142452|||WAI}}</ref> [[Minecraft:dead bush]]es,<ref>{{bug|MC-219904}}</ref> [[Minecraft:poisonous potato]]es,<ref>{{bug|MC-142373|||WAI}}</ref> [[Minecraft:chorus plant]] products,<ref>{{bug|MC-182287|||WAI}}</ref> and [[Minecraft:golden]] plant items.<ref>{{bug|MC-306023|||WAI}}</ref> [[Minecraft:Meat]] items, [[Minecraft:fish]], and [[Minecraft:bone]]s are also not compostable.<ref>{{citation|author=Duncan Geere |date=23 March 2023 |title=Block of the Month: Composter |url=https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/block-month--composter |website=Minecraft.net |quote=Most food and plant-based items can be composted, with the notable exception of bamboo (too fibrous), poisonous potatoes (too poisonous), dead bushes (too dead), and meat and fish (too stinky as it rots).}}</ref>

{{ctrl|Using}} with a composter while holding a [[Minecraft:debug stick]] will raise the level by 1, and the debug stick is not consumed.

=== Profession ===
{{main|Job site block}}
If a composter has not been claimed by a [[Minecraft:villager]], any nearby unemployed villager has a chance to change their profession to farmer and claim the composter as their [[Minecraft:job site block]]. Also, [[Minecraft:farmer]]s can use composter to compost, and use the derived [[Minecraft:bone meal]] to grow crops.

=== Redstone component ===
{{see also|Redstone circuit}}

A composter can act as a power source for a [[Minecraft:redstone comparator]]. With a composter behind it (either directly, or separated by an unpowered solid [[Minecraft:block]]), a comparator outputs a signal strength between 0 and 8, proportional to how full the composter is: 0 for empty, 1 for {{frac|1|7}} full, 2 for {{frac|2|7}} full, and so on to 6. 7 is for completely full but the [[Minecraft:bone meal]] is not ready to collect, and 8 for completely full and the bone meal is ready to collect.

=== Hoppers ===
Composters can interact with [[Minecraft:hopper]]s. A hopper directly below a composter pulls [[Minecraft:bone meal]] from it. A hopper or dropper facing downward directly above a composter pushes [[Minecraft:item]]s into it. See {{slink|Hopper|Redstone component}} for more details.

Hoppers cannot interact with the sides of a composter.

=== Fuel ===
A composter can be used as [[Minecraft:fuel]] in a [[Minecraft:furnace]] to smelt 1.5 [[Minecraft:item]]s.

=== Note blocks ===
Composters can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce "bass" sounds.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* The compost texture is based on the [[Minecraft:podzol]] texture.
* If planting crops specifically for composting, potatoes produce somewhat more than beets, carrots, or wheat. However, melons offer nearly the same yield per field space, and do not require replanting after harvest.
