About this Mod

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 0-8 compost 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.
