The Worm Farm is a composter-style block added by Aquaculture that converts compostable items into Worms, the bait item used on fishing rods. It is a wooden block with eight fill levels. Like a vanilla composter, it is filled by right-clicking or by hopper, but its contents are harvested as Worms rather than bone meal.

Obtaining

The Worm Farm is crafted from four oak fences, one dirt block and three oak planks. The recipe also accepts other fence and plank types. The block stacks to 64 and is mined with an axe.

Usage

Filling the farm

A Worm Farm starts at level 0 and can hold up to eight levels. Right-clicking the block with a compostable item adds a level, but only with the chance listed for that item in the NeoForge compostables data map. The item is consumed whether or not the attempt succeeds, so a failed attempt wastes the item without adding a level. The farm accepts compostable items at levels 0 through 7. At level 8 the farm is full, and right-clicking it with a compostable does nothing.

Hoppers can also fill the farm. A hopper inserting from above places one compostable at a time, and only while the farm is below level 7. At level 7 the farm accepts no hopper input, so the level-7 state can only be raised by hand.

The farm does not fill on its own. Its scheduled block tick is overridden with an empty method, so nothing changes over time.

Harvesting Worms

Right-clicking the farm with an item that is not compostable removes one level and drops one Worm above the block. The Worm appears in a random position on the top face, and the farm plays the "Worm Farm empties" sound. The same action works at any level from 1 to 8.

A hopper placed below a full farm (level 8) can extract the Worm from the bottom face. This extraction takes the single Worm and resets the farm to level 0 in one step, rather than removing one level as the hand harvest does. Hoppers cannot extract from a farm at levels 1 through 7.

Worms as bait

The Worm is a Bait item for the Fishing Rods of the mod. It has a durability of 20 and gives lure speed +1 when used on a rod. A rod consumes one bait item per successful catch, so a single Worm lasts for 20 catches before it breaks.

Other behaviour

The block is ignited by lava, so lava flowing next to it sets it alight. It has a blast resistance of 0.6, the same as its hardness.
