Minecraft Composter PNG

The Composter exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Functional” tab.

Sizes and quality

The Composter render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

Composter in Minecraft: how to make bone meal

The composter turns plant scraps and food into bone meal. Each item you add has a chance of raising the compost by one layer, and when it reaches the seventh it changes look after a second, ready for you to collect the bone meal by using it again or breaking it. The first item always adds a layer, whatever its chance. Break it early and whatever compost it held is lost.

Not everything works. Bamboo, dead bushes, poisonous potatoes, chorus plant items, and meat, fish and bones cannot be composted. Small pieces generally give more than the blocks made from them, cookies being the exception. If you farm purely for compost, potatoes yield a little more than wheat or carrots, and melons give nearly the same per field space with no replanting.

It slots neatly into automatic farms. A hopper above or a dropper facing down fills it, and a hopper below pulls the bone meal out; hoppers on the sides do nothing. A comparator reads a signal from 0 to 8 depending on how full it is, with 8 meaning the bone meal is ready.

It is the farmer's job site block, and farmers also use it to fertilise their crops. It generates in village farms and trail ruins, and its compost texture is based on podzol.
