Dogs Compact Blocks
by ItzDogo_
Dogs Compact Blocks lets players compress ordinary blocks into denser compact versions, nine at a time, to save storage space.
What it does
Each compression step turns nine blocks into one compact block, and compact blocks can be compressed again into further levels. A compacted block shows a darker ring that indicates its compression level. The author notes that compacting does not reduce the total storage taken, but makes each block stronger, harder to break and more resistant to blasts, and lengthens smelting time.
Installation runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2. The license is All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source. The author describes the mod as beta and says development of more blocks and features is ongoing.
Key features
Nine-to-one compression
Nine blocks of a type combine into one compact block, which can then be combined again into higher levels.
Compression level marking
A darker ring around a compacted block indicates how many compression levels it has gone through.
Stronger compacted blocks
Compacted blocks are harder to break, take longer to smelt and resist blasts better than the originals.
Ongoing development
The author says more blocks and features are planned, and the mod is still in its beta stage.
