Compress It!

by Nekorynn

Compress It! lets players pack stacks of common items into compact blocks and back again, which frees inventory slots for other things.

FabricForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT License1.18 – 1.20.3

What it does

Nine sticks, bones, bamboo, blaze rods, feathers, gunpowder, flint, nether warts, saplings, name tags, string, rotten flesh, candles, paper, kelp and more can be crafted into a single block, and the block returns the full stack when broken. Some recipes use other compressed blocks as ingredients, and Mojang-missing blocks such as charcoal blocks and charcoal slabs are added along with coal slabs. Blocks in this set cover wool, glass panes, ladders, carpets and similar building materials.

The mod is a client and server install, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 11 release versions, 1.18 – 1.20.3, and Fabric API is required on Fabric. Polymorph is an optional companion. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source in the sense of publishing its full source for reuse outside that license.

Key features

  1. Compressed storage blocks

    Common stacks such as sticks, bones, gunpowder and string are packed into one block and unpacked again when broken.

  2. Slots freed in the inventory

    Packing bulky stacks into single blocks keeps the inventory from filling up during long trips and farming sessions.

  3. Chained compression

    Some compressed blocks use other compressed blocks as ingredients, so a second tier of packing is possible for certain items.

  4. Added charcoal and coal blocks

    Charcoal blocks, charcoal slabs and coal slabs fill gaps the vanilla game leaves in its block set.
