Custom Compostable 26.2

Learn how to create your own compostable items.

Compostable items are those that convert to bone meal when they are placed in a composter. Let's see how we can create our own custom compostable.

Creating the Item

Let's create a compostable item called "Bone Marrow". We start by creating an item as usual:

public static final ResourceKey<Item> BONE_MARROW = create("bone_marrow");

public static final Item BONE_MARROW = register(
		ModItemIds.BONE_MARROW,
		Item::new,
		new Item.Properties()
);

To make it compostable, we will add it to the CompostableRegistry.INSTANCE registry from the Fabric Registry API:

// Add the bone marrow to the composting registry with a 100% chance of increasing the composter's level.
CompostableRegistry.INSTANCE.add(ModItems.BONE_MARROW, 1.0f);

As usual, don't forget to add a texture, translation, creative tab, yada yada. Here's an example texture:

Here's how it looks like when used in the composter:
