What it does

Compact Material adds a set of compact blocks: nine iron blocks craft one Compact Iron Block, and a Super Compact Iron Block is made from nine of those. The same nine-to-one chain applies to gold, diamond and copper, so each metal has two compact tiers above its base block. Flint has a Cobbled Flint step, which is nine flint per cobbled flint, and a Refined Flint step on top of it.

Ender pearls use a four-to-one chain instead: four Enderpearls make an Enderpearl Block, four blocks make Enderpearl Bricks, and four bricks make Enderpearl Chiseled Bricks. Wood types follow the nine-to-one pattern with Compact Wood Types and Super Compact Wood Types. The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge, runs on client and server, and is released under All rights reserved. Files exist for 1.20.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, with the latest Forge file at 1.2.0 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file at 2.0.0 for 1.21.5.

Key features

  1. Two compact tiers for metals

    Iron, gold, diamond and copper each gain a Compact block and a Super Compact block, each built from nine of the tier below.

  2. Flint compression steps

    Flint is grouped into Cobbled Flint and then Refined Flint, with each step combining nine of the previous item.

  3. Ender pearl bricks

    Enderpearls are packed into an Enderpearl Block, Enderpearl Bricks and Enderpearl Chiseled Bricks, each step using four of the previous item.

  4. Compact wood types

    Wood types can be combined into Compact Wood Types and then Super Compact Wood Types, nine at a time.

  5. Recipes for every new item

    Each added block and item has a crafting recipe, so the compression can be reversed or extended by the player through normal crafting.
