by Goldmanguyperson

3x3 Quartz Compaction lets players craft quartz blocks into a compact 3x3 block and uncraft them back, with recipes that match other resource blocks.

What it does

Crafting uses a recipe that turns quartz into a 3x3 block, and a datapack allows the same block to be decrafted into its quartz. The result is a dense storage block that takes up little space, which suits players holding large amounts of quartz, while the decoration block it produces is more expensive to make. Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Quartz compaction recipe

    A crafting recipe packs quartz into a 3x3 block, similar to how other resource blocks are compacted.

  2. Decrafting through a datapack

    A datapack lets the compacted quartz block be decrafted back into its quartz, so no quartz is lost.

  3. Dense quartz storage

    The compacted block holds nine times the quartz in one slot, which reduces space when stockpiling large amounts.

What the author says

This datapack both allows for decrafting quartz blocks into quartz, and makes the crafting recipe for the block a 3x3 recipe. More expensive for decoration, but far better for storage. Good for if you have 1 billion quartz sitting in storage (such as from other mods, or because you just do a lot of sidequesting…
