Usage

The different forms of compost can be used in different ways.

  • Wet compost can be placed to create muck-heaps for RRP or as a physical storage of compost for use when needed.
  • Wet compost is also an efficient way to condense manure for compact storage.
  • Compost Blocks cannot be placed but can be used the same as bonemeal to grow grass/flowers or crops (2 blocks = fully grown)
  • Compost is an inventory item so cannot be placed but can be used the same as normal minecraft bonemeal.

Currently the balance of compost (bonemeal) makes it far more efficient than to use full compost blocks. However, for players looking to get rid of their acquired compost without wastefully disposing of it, using blocks will do so much quicker.

Known Issues

  • [-] Unbalanced values between compost block and compost. Compost can be broken down from both block types at any time.
