Compactible Mob Drops
by XpX_
Compactible Mob Drops compresses stacks of mob drops into compact blocks, so overflowing drops take less space in storage.
What it does
Drops from farms can fill chests quickly, and the mod converts them into compact blocks that stack far more densely. It covers common drops such as leather, rabbit hide, string, eggs, bones, ink sacs, glow ink sacs and feathers, along with rarer ones like turtle scutes, armadillo scutes, blaze rods, breeze rods, ender pearls and shulker shells. Players who stockpile these items for building or trading can keep their storage tidy.
Each compacted block can be crafted back into its original items whenever they are needed, so no drops are lost. The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.5 – 1.21.8, with files for all four release versions, and it is needed on both the client and the server. Its code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Compact blocks for common drops
Leather, rabbit hide, string, eggs, bones, ink sacs, glow ink sacs and feathers each have a compact block form.
Compact blocks for rare drops
Turtle scutes, armadillo scutes, blaze rods, breeze rods, ender pearls and shulker shells can also be compressed.
Reversible crafting
Any compacted block can be crafted back into its original items at any time.
Denser storage
Compressed drops take a fraction of the slots they occupy as loose items, which suits drop farms and stockpiles.

Resource stockpiles
Players who save drops for later crafting can keep them in fewer slots and retrieve the originals when needed.
Who it’s for: Survival players, redstone builders running automatic farms, and anyone who prefers a tidy storage system will find the mod useful.
