As of: mc1.12.2-4.0b2 (Mar-2018)
Green Waste blocks are used to create Raw Compost blocks and to farm Earthworms. Making green waste requires 3 parts a green organic product like Green Leaves or grass, 2 parts crop waste or a brown organic product like Dried Leaves or hay, a bit of raw manure as an innoculant, and Wastis Eaticus Larvae to do the heavy lifting of converting the raw products into wasted goodness. No special processing is required; just use a standard crafting grid with the appropriate ingredients.
Using packed green & dried leaves.
To make green waste, you must collect some manure drops from cows, sheep, horses, or llamas. From this manure you will get your larvae. Collect as much manure as you need to create at least a half-stack's worth of blocks: each block of manure holds 9 manure drops. Note that you're collecting the regular brown manure, not pinkly or toxic or any other kind. An easy way to collect lots of regular manure is to keep 4-5 cows just for this purpose; use hoppers or an equivalent to capture all the drops.
Layout the manure blocks like you would layout gravel blocks for harvesting flint, and using a shovel repeatedly break the blocks and collect any larvae that drop out. A single block of manure will produce at least 3 larvae in total, more if a fortune-enchanted shovel is used. Manure blocks break apart when harvested, so you'll need to reform the blocks after breaking them. Each time a larva drops, some of the constituent manure is lost so you will eventually end up with all larvae and no manure just like with gravel and flint.
Preparing to do battle with a giant block of manure.
If you have a sifting type contraption, you can use it to speed up this process; for example, the SmartHoppers mod's Sifting Hopper works great but isn't nearly as much fun as rampaging through manure blocks.
If you want an earthworm starter farm, you'll need enough larvae to produce the green waste used to make a Raw Compost enclosure (at least 30 blocks) as well as the green waste used for growing and feeding the earthworms (at least 12 blocks). Read the Earthworm Farm section to see how to best setup the blocks.
You can substitute a couple of standard items for the green and brown components of the recipe including crop waste like cactus for the green items and whole melons or mushroom blocks for the brown items.
| Item | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
B | Dried Leaves block (read 'How to dry leaves'). |
 |
B | Dried Dung Cake blocks (read 'How to farm Dung Cake'). |
 |
B | Whole pumpkin and watermelon blocks. |
 |
B | Piles of potatoes (wild or regular if SuperBlocks mod installed). |
 |
B | Rotted Drying Potatoes blocks. |
 |
G | Green Leaves blocks. Packed block of regular treeLeaves and a little organic adhesive. |
 |
G | Whole cactus blocks. |

Possible substitutions.
The set of items you can use directly for the various parts of green waste is greatly expanded if you're using the SuperBlocks mod. You can plug many of this mod's packed items like Packed Grass Clippings, Packed Vines, and Packed Sticks directly into the Green Waste block recipe. You can even use packed crops like beets, potatoes, and carrots.

Once you have your Green Waste blocks, you can convert them to Raw Compost blocks. Raw Compost blocks are primarily an intermediate product in the process of creating ripened Compost blocks, the mod's replacement for standard farmland and bonemeal. However, you can use raw compost to create Immature Mycelium and a few other things. As you might expect, making compost requires a lot of Manure!
To convert Raw Compost to Compost, you simply place down the blocks in a dry place and wait for them to age and ripen. You can stack the compost multiple layers without affecting the process; however make sure no ripened compost block is exposed to air on more than one side because air will dry out and deteriorate the compost over time. As the raw compost ages, its color changes from the green tinted brown to a deep dark brown. If you're unsure about the block's state, use F3, a Poop o' Meter gauge pole, or a mod like HYWLA or The One Probe to test a block's state before harvesting it-- breaking a raw compost block before it converts to compost drops manure, not Compost Blobs.
Aging blocks of raw compost (only tops exposed)
To grow crops, you can just place the raw compost blocks where you would have placed your tillable dirt and let the raw blocks cure in place. When the compost is ready, put down your water sources and plant your crops as usual. Do NOT put down the water sources before the compost cures as the liquid acts as a deterrent to the process. And remember, you can grow more than just crops on compost: you can grow fungi, sugarcane, cocoa pods, netherwarts, etc.
ONE block of water is used by this compost field
Natural aging or ripening is by far the cheapest way to make bulk compost but it is also the slowest way. For the impatient, you can speed up the process by applying lots of Vermi Meal to the raw compost blocks directly. However, this technique is fairly expensive even when used for just a few blocks of compost as vermimeal is hard to obtain initially. If you must have compost NOW, there is an instant but very expensive craft recipe for compost; the recipe uses Vermi Cake which requires quite a lot of vermimeal.
Expensive until you have an earthworm farm
PinklySheep mod considers items registered on these lists as valid for inclusion in loot table generated farmer's pouches and other special chests like beanstalk bark boxes.
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
greenLitterSeeds |
List of all seeds that are plantable and appropriate for generation by rainbow seeds and as rare green seed drops out of fresh green waste. Note that this list is very likely a small subset of Harvestcraft's listAllseeds (the two ids are not interchangeable). |
greenLitterFungi |
List of all fungi such as replantable mushrooms that are appropriate for generation by rainbow seeds, moo shroo poo bonemealing, and as rare green seed drops out of fresh green waste and giant pinkly mushrooms. |
greenLitterTuber |
List of all plants propagated via replant tubers or cuttings and appropriate for generation by rainbow seeds. Includes most potato variants and standard carrots. Does NOT include sugarcane or cacti. |
treeSapling |
Standard Forge registry listing. List of all saplings that are appropriate for dropping by weakened and enchanted beanstalk leaves. |
greenLitterOther |
List of miscellaneous plantables that do not fit into the previous four categories but can be considered for generation by rainbow seeds and special super-fertilizers such as Miracle Tree Grow!. Includes items such as berry bushes, dwarf-saplings, large double plants like ferns and rose bushes, etc. |
Rabbits will not raid crop area planted with compost blocks instead of farmland (unless they're evil bunnies in which case all bets are off).
