Compact Items
Compact Items, a storage mod by BibekTheLegend, lets players squeeze 64 items into one compact item, with the stack limit raised to 4,096 per compact item.
What it does
Players compress a stack of 64 items into a single compact item, which takes far less room in chests and inventories. A compact item can later be converted back into its original items whenever they are needed, so the process can be reversed. Compact items are built on custom player head textures, which lets them double as unique decorative blocks in creative builds.
On servers and SMPs, the mod suits chest shops and player-run markets, since bulk goods can be stored and traded as one item. The compression is tied to the item's data, so renaming a compact item breaks the match and it can no longer be converted back. Players placing heads on older versions may also lose custom data and run into conversion problems, because the mod relies on the newer player head data system. Compact Items is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21 – 26.2 and a beta latest file for 26.2 on each loader. The Data pack form is also listed as a server platform, and the mod is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Compress 64 items
A stack of 64 items becomes one compact item, saving storage space and keeping inventories organized.
Stack up to 4,096
A single compact item stores up to 4,096 items, making large amounts easier to manage.
Reversible conversion
Converting a compact item back into the original items takes place whenever a player needs them, and none of the items are lost in the process.
Decorative player heads
Compact items use custom player head textures, so they can serve as decorative blocks in builds.
Trader categories
Command triggers such as ci.farmer open a category-based wandering trader for farming items, and players scroll the page to view available trades.
Blacklist control
Server owners can add a player name to a blacklist to stop that player from using Compact Items.

How it compares
Item & Block Compressor is a server-side option that is not open source, under All rights reserved, with files for 1.20 – 26.2 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Inventory Storages runs on client and server for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.21.1 – 26.3, and is also under All rights reserved. Compact Items shares the All rights reserved license with both, and it is server-required with the client optional, so players may skip installing it.
