But the devolopers don't like easier lol And if they wanted to make a copy on Minecraft, that's what they'd do. Their goal is more for realistic, and at its current stage the game is hardly into the iron age. Arguably it's still in the bronze age, putting electricity well out of reach for now. It may be something they get to in the very distant future, but certainly not anytime soon. They already have other types of automation in their roadmap, but it's all mechanical based, not electrical based. It's also reasonable to assume that if it's a thing in Minecraft, they've thought of it and already decided they will or won't do it. No need to suggest things from Minecraft.

Yeah sticks and wood take forever to decompose without serious assistance. Flowers could work, grass would probably be a little bit too easy. Reeds might also be ok.

You guys have slightly missed the point. The suggestion is to add the functionality to just throw spoiled food (or imo even fresh food) into the compost, so it spoils faster. Plus you can put multiple things in at once. Note this is food that has not yet turned to rot. This can help get rid of surplus, and would also boost the rate of compost production, which makes it more functional.

Snow/ice from lakes can be collected and compressed into ice slabs, which you can line a cellar with to keep it cooler and preserve things longer. Needs to be replaced every week or so, perhaps. Perhaps also an icebox/"freezer" which if filled with snow can preserve food for much longer. Carryable like a backpack, for long trips.
