Compost is a soil block that can be created by players.

Creation

Compost is created by placing 64 rot in a barrel and sealing it for 20 days.
Rot is the result of food decay and may be removed from meal containers by throwing them in water.

Usage

Compost has a maximum nutrient level of 65% and thus is the best alternative for farming if Terra Preta cannot be readily obtained.
It can be converted to farmland using a hoe. For more information, see the farming guide.

As a type of soil, compost is best harvested with a shovel.
However, farmland blocks cannot be picked up and replaced once converted. Breaking farmland destroys the block.

Storage

Compost blocks can be transported in the player inventory, stored in containers, or placed in the world.
