Usage

Composters can be used to produce bone meal. To do so, the player must use any of a selection of items on the composter.

Levels

The composter can be filled with compost, which is done by adding compostable items to it. See the table further below for all supported items. These items have different levels of compostability. The higher the percentage of an item, the more likely it is for that item to add another layer of compost to the block when used on it. Each layer of compost has a podzol-like appearance. When the composter reaches the 7th layer of compost, the compost will change appearance indicating that bone meal can be collected.

Hoppers

Composters can interact with hoppers by placing a composter on the upper side of a hopper and producing bone meal from the composter, which will cause the bone meal to go through the hopper and if there is a container under it such as a chest, furnace, or another hopper, it will end up there (see Hopper § Redstone component for more details about hopper-specific mechanics). Hoppers cannot be drawn into the sides of composters.

A '''powder snow bucket''' is a [[bucket]] with [[powder snow]] inside.

== Obtaining ==

A powder snow bucket can be obtained by {{ctrl|using}} an [[empty bucket]] on a [[powder snow block]] or [[powder snow cauldron]].

== Usage ==

Pressing {{control|use}} while holding a powder snow bucket places a [[powder snow]] block. {{IN|Java}}, powder snow may also be placed inside empty [[cauldron]]s, creating powder snow cauldrons.

[[Dispenser]]s can also create and place powder snow buckets. However, they cannot do so with [[cauldron]]s. You can also use it to cushion falls in the [[nether]] by placing it below you when falling.
