About A Composter in Minecraft

In Minecraft, a composter is a block which can change food and plant material into bone meal. A composter can also be used as fuel in a furnace. If you use it as a fuel in a furnace, it can smelt 1.5 items.

You are able to break composters by using any tool, but if you use an axe, it will be faster. For your information, the composter does not retain the compost inside, but it drops empty.

If a villager in Minecraft has a composter that has not been claimed by a villager, any resident villager who has not selected a job site block can have a chance to be able to change their profession to farmer.
