You will need 7 wooden slabs to craft the composter, and you need to make it in a U shape. Having a 3×3 crafting table is enough to create a composter. To make one wooden slab, you will need three Wooden Planks. You can get planks by placing a block of wood on the crafting table, and you can get wood by chopping down trees. One block of wood will give you 4 wooden planks, and if you place three wooden planks in the bottom row of the crafting table, you will get one wooden slab. You need to make the composter using one type of wood.
Once you get 7 wooden slabs, place them in a U shape on the crafting table. They should all be placed in the outer rows on the sides and bottom, leaving the middle two boxes on top and middle empty. If done correctly, you now have a composter.
To use the composter, just add any organic waste or food residue into it once you find a place to put it. You will know the composter has accepted your waste if you find green residue in the bottom. You have to make 7 layers for the composter to make one bone meal. If you have a hopper placed beside it, it will automatically collect the bone meal and store them in chests for future use. If you wish to not craft a composter, you can instead get them from various villages.
