Players who run low on inventory space can use Compression to turn stacks of cobblestone and other stone into denser compressed blocks.

What it does

Compression adds a crafting path that packs eight of a base block into one compressed block, and eight compressed blocks into a double-compressed block. The result uses far less inventory space while keeping the same material, and the process can be reversed through crafting. Its list of compressible blocks covers six stone types, including basalt, limestone, granite, permafrost and netherrack, so players working with several kinds of stone can compress each of them.

The mod is aimed at survival players who want to store large amounts of stone without filling chests. It requires HalpLibe. Compression is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so the source code and issue tracker are public. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Snapshot builds are published alongside the main releases.

Key features

  1. Compressed blocks

    Eight cobblestone craft one compressed cobblestone, which takes up the space of a single block.

  2. Double compression

    Eight compressed cobblestone craft a double-compressed block, reducing storage needs further.

  3. Six stone types

    Stone, basalt, limestone, granite, permafrost and netherrack each have their own compressed variants.

  4. Compressible block list

    A published list shows which blocks can be compressed, so players can check coverage before crafting.
