Compression ores

by 5487apple

Compression ores adds a compressor machine for Forge that turns basic materials into more advanced ones, from iron and gold up to Netherite and nether stars.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.16.5 – 1.17.1

What it does

Players feed ores and ingots into the compressor, which is powered by a redstone signal and fuelled by lava, and the machine returns compressed results. Early compression runs turn Hardened Stone into Iron ingots and Gilded Iron, then Gold ingots and Artificial Diamonds, then Diamonds, and finally Netherite ingots and nether stars.

Each compression step can also multiply output: the author notes list recipes that give 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 6x of an item when lava is supplied at a matching level. The magma drive is a separate machine that uses those compressed objects, and its averaged magma level is said to lower resource consumption. The mod is built for players who want to shorten collection time for rare resources and to build their own compression factories.

The mod runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for 1.16.5 and 1.17.1, with 1.3.0+1.17.1 as the latest Forge build, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Compressor machine

    A machine that accepts ores and materials, with a redstone signal used to start a compression cycle.

  2. Multiplied output

    Several compression tiers return two to six times the input, depending on the lava level supplied.

  3. Magma drive

    A separate machine that takes compressed objects and runs on the magma level calculation.

  4. Early progression path

    Hardened Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond and Netherite each have a compression route, leading to nether stars.
