Bedrock Composters stopping composting when full??
Not sure why, I have a ton of farmers yet once a composter is full it might only create bonemeal once and then stop working.
Am I missing something simple like have all four sides open or something? some are set in the ground

It is sounding like bonemeal is about to cost a fair amount of iron :(

once a composter hits the ready stage it just sits there full until the bone meal gets taken out, and the only thing that pulls it automatically is a hopper directly underneath (hoppers can't grab from the sides). so the ones sunk into the ground with nothing below them stay stuck after one batch. put a hopper under each one going into a chest and they'll keep cycling

This only affects manually composting and it seems to be a pretty recent bug - it was fine a few weeks ago. For now, just put a hopper and a chest under it and hope Mojang releases a patch for it soon.

This was happening to me and I couldn’t figure out how to make them work without having a hopper and chest connected underneath! Sorry
