Anything Blocks
by sourcels
Anything Blocks lets players convert a wide variety of items, from materials to food, into compact block form to save inventory space.
What it does
Players use the mod to turn loose stacks of materials and food into denser blocks, so that a large quantity occupies only a fraction of the slots it would otherwise need. The stated aim is compact storage, simpler resource management and less effort when carrying goods between places, with the converted blocks serving as an organized way to store stock.
The mod covers a broad range of items and suits both survival and creative play. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.8 alone, and the latest file is 0.0.4 on the beta channel, dated 2025-08-21. Client and server both need it, and the Continuity mod is an optional dependency that can be added for connected textures. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source, issue tracker and wiki are public.
Key features
Item to block conversion
Stacks of supported materials and food are converted into a compact block form that takes up less inventory space.
Compact resource storage
Converted blocks let players store large amounts of a resource in fewer slots and keep stock organized.
Simpler transport
Carrying converted goods requires fewer slots, which makes moving resources between storage points less cumbersome.
Connected textures
Optional support through Continuity gives the converted blocks connected textures that join with neighboring blocks.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who manage large stocks of materials or food in survival or creative worlds, and players who want fewer inventory slots taken up by bulk resources. Both client and server need the mod, so server owners install it on the server and players install it locally.
How it compares
Compact Discs is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that runs on client and server, released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and not open source. Item Bundling is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, runs on client and server and covers 1.21.4 – 1.21.5 on Fabric. Quick Homes is open source under the MIT License and works on Fabric for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, but its environment is server required with the client optional, while Anything Blocks needs both sides.
