Features
Makes a lot of vanilla items compostable, including rotten flesh, poisonous potatoes, foods, and many more (see the list below).
Important information for old versions previous to 26.3
Adding compostable items previous to 26.3 was not possible in a fully vanilla way, so the items were 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.

Starting from datapack version 2.0, all these items are compostable with right click, exactly as vanilla-compostable items.
This datapack was tested in a multiplayer server with ~10 players and performed well without any noticeable performance issue.

FAQ
The composter isn't working when I right click on it
Read the description: you might be playing in an old version where right-clicking is only supported for items that are compostable in vanilla. The ones added by this pack were only compostable via hoppers or by *dropping* them inside the composter. In Minecraft 26.3+ this shouldn't be an issueIt's working on some composters but not on others
If you are playing in a version older than 26.3:- Custom-composting via hoppers only works with composters that are placed by players. This means that it won't work with world-generated composters, with composters summoned via commands, or with composters placed before the datapack was installed. Simply break a composter and place it again manually to make the datapack register it.
- The datapack might have trouble detecting a placed composter if you are moving very fast while placing it. This shouldn't be a problem as long as you are not MLG-360-no-scoping composters. If a composter is not working, just break it and place it again while not moving.
