Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This is a very simple mod - it enables Forge capabilities for the Composter Block, which allows all sorts of various mods to interact with it the same way that they would interact with each other.

For example, the Phytogenic Insolator from Thermal Expansion can automatically extract the bonemeal when the composter is ready, as shown below. You'll notice that pistons are still able to move Composters, so there is absolutely no change to vanilla behavior. The Composter is filled with a Dispenser, which is another interaction added by this mod.

This mod has no dependencies but does use mixins! Happy Composting. :)
