Create Compression
by TheoCreates
Create Compression adds 1-9x compressed versions of many blocks, including logs, planks, stones and some materials from the Create mod, so bulk storage takes fewer slots.
What it does
Each compressed block stacks nine of the one below it, so a player can store large amounts of a material in a single slot and unpack the block later when it is needed. The mod covers wood types such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, crimson and warped, along with blocks like cobbled deepslate, end stone, red sand, soul sand and soul soil. Compressed versions of Create materials such as andesite alloy are also included, along with refined radiance, shadow steel and nether star blocks.
Create Compression is for modpacks and bulk storage builds, where long item lists can fill many chests. It runs on Forge and NeoForge and requires Create. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is released under the MIT License as an open source project.
Key features
1-9x compressed blocks
Each block can be compressed nine times into a denser form, and the reverse recipe unpacks it back to the original count.
Wood and stone variants
Logs and planks for every common wood type, plus cobbled deepslate, end stone and sand, get their own compressed chains.
Create material blocks
Andesite alloy, refined radiance and shadow steel have compressed forms, so Create materials can be stored in fewer slots.
Nether and end materials
Crimson and warped stems and planks, soul sand, soul soil and nether star are included in the compression chains.
