Ex Compressum
by BlayTheNinth
Players who want to skip the early grind of Ex Nihilo-style progression can use Ex Compressum, a Technology addon that adds compressed blocks, hammers and automation machines.
What it does
Compressed Hammers break Compressed Blocks into nine smashed versions, and Compressed Gravel and 9 Sand give a quicker path through the crushing stage. A Compressed Crook harvests four times as fast as the normal crook and lasts about twice as long. Heavy Sieves sift compressed blocks directly, with a small loss in efficiency.
Automation is handled by Auto Compressor, which compresses items and blocks without manual crafting, along with Auto Sieves and Auto Hammers. Broken Ores turn into Ore Gravel. A Wooden Crucible can draw water out of plants, a route that does not depend on weather, and animal baits placed outside natural spawns bring in cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, ocelots and wolves. Ex Compressum is an Ex Nihilo addon for Forge, Fabric and NeoForge, released under All rights reserved, not open source. It needs Balm, and Fabric API on Fabric. Both sides need the mod, and files exist for the range shown on its page.
