Compressed Leaves
by DIMAS Studio
Compressed Leaves lets players craft leaf blocks from other plant items and back, adding compressed versions of many leaf types to the game.
What it does
Compressed Leaves adds compressed variants of the vanilla leaf types, including oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia, dark oak and azalea, and later also mangrove, cherry and several blossom and rubberwood leaves in the newer releases. Crafting recipes turn leaves into compressed leaves and back, so the blocks are reachable from normal survival progression.
A separate function randomly applies a bonemeal effect to plants within a 5x5 radius, and seeds and balls can be smelted into other items. The mod is published for Fabric and Forge and works on both client and server, so both sides need it. Quark is an optional dependency, and the Forge build of the mod is listed as using it. Files cover 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 0.5 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Compressed leaf blocks
Compressed versions of most vanilla leaf types can be crafted and placed as decorative or building blocks.
Crafting back to leaves
Recipes convert the compressed blocks back into plain leaves, so the conversion works in both directions.
Bonemeal effect on plants
A randomly applied bonemeal effect reaches plants within a 5x5 area, without needing a bonemeal item.
Seed and ball smelting
Seeds and balls can be smelted into other items, including wheat and beetroot seeds going back to their crops.

How it compares
Compressed Items is a Fabric mod for 1.18.2 – 1.19.2 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is not open source. Ziggy's Compressed Blocks is client and server and open source under the MIT License, with Fabric builds for 1.21.11 – 26.2, which is newer than the versions Compressed Leaves covers. LeavesCrafting is a Fabric and Forge mod for 1.20.1 that needs the server and leaves the client optional, so it works differently in where it must be installed.
