At a glance
Install in the game only; not needed on the server
ComposterHUD is a clean info layer for farmers. Point your crosshair at any composter and a small readout appears in the top-left of your screen.
What it shows
- Fill level - the exact
0-8compost height, so you know how close it is to producing bone meal. - Ready to harvest - a clear Ready: bone meal note the moment the composter hits level 8 and a layer of bone meal is sitting on top.
Why
Vanilla only hints at a composter's state through a subtle texture change inside the block, which is hard to read at a glance, especially across a wall of composters on a farm. ComposterHUD puts the precise fill number on screen so you can see which composters still need feeding and which are ready to empty.
Controls
- C - toggle the readout on/off. An action-bar message confirms the state.
