Wet Compost

Alternatively, craft a wet compost block by combining 1 Compost (Bonemeal).

Dry Compost
A (Dry) Compost block is produced by smelting wet compost in a furnace.

(Dry) Compost blocks can also be slowly dried out from wet compost.
Wet compost will only dry when exposed to sunlight. Breaking and replacing the compost will reset its progress.

Compost (Bonemeal)
Wet compost and Compost blocks can be broken back down into compost.
One block of either type will yield 4 compost bonemeal.

Usage

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

  • Wet and dry compost can be placed to create muck-heaps for RRP or as a storage of compost for use when needed.
  • Wet and dry compost can be used in decoration of barns, a satisfying muddy-toned block that looks good in paths
  • Compost bonemeal can be used the same as normal minecraft bonemeal

When condensing compost bonemeal back into compost blocks, some materials will be wasted (9 in > block > 4 out), however this encourages the storage of compost in blocks via muckheaps, occasionally removing the dried blocks from the surface or uncrafting blocks into bonemeal that can be used to grow crops for the player or horse, as well as bonemeal pastures for grass and flowers.
