Compact Diamonds
Compact Diamonds is a data pack that adds a compacted diamond block, letting a player store nine diamond blocks in one stack-friendly item.
What it does
Players who tire of carrying many diamonds can craft nine diamond blocks into a single Compact Block Diamond in the crafting menu. A compacted block stacks to 64 and can be placed on the ground, and one of them is worth 81 diamonds, so a large diamond-based economy can move in fewer stacks. The item carries its own translation key with a fallback name.
The data pack is meant for servers running a diamond-based economy or dealing with large transactions, where moving diamonds in bulk otherwise takes a lot of inventory space. Its texture can be changed for the compacted block alone, leaving the normal diamond block untouched. Installation puts the datapack zip into a datapacks folder in the world; reload the datapacks or create the world with cheats enabled and press F3+T to apply it.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and for Paper, Purpur and data packs. Builds cover 1.21.5 – 26.3, with snapshot builds published alongside releases. Only the server needs it, and players may leave it out. The code is not open source, and the project is released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Compact Items is a server-side mod for 1.21 – 26.2 under All rights reserved, while Compact Diamonds runs as a data pack. Early Game Shulker is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and covers 1.13 – 26.3, but it targets shulker boxes rather than diamonds. Carry Me is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and runs on both client and server, with files for 1.21.1 – 26.3, so every player must install it.
