Good Compression

by tmpim

Good Compression, a Babric mod for Minecraft Beta, adds compressed versions of stone bricks, hay bales, coal and redstone blocks.

FabricBabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen sourceb1.7.3

What it does

Compressed blocks cost nine raw items or four stone bricks each and stack to 64. Recipes convert between the compressed block and its raw form, so a stack of coal can be stored as coal blocks and unpacked when needed. Stone bricks, hay bales, coal and redstone blocks are the included compressions.

Redstone blocks work on the compressed grid, though their behavior differs slightly from later versions. Redstone dust can be placed on top of a redstone block because the block carries a tag that allows it. The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and Mod Menu can open its in-game configuration when installed.

The mod is published for Babric on the b1.7.3 game version, with snapshot builds available, and the source code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Compressed stone bricks

    Four stone bricks combine into one stone brick block, which stacks to 64 in the inventory.

  2. Hay bale and coal compression

    Nine wheat turn into a hay bale, and nine coal turn into a coal block, with recipes working both ways.

  3. Redstone block compression

    Nine redstone dust compresses into a redstone block, and the block unpacks back into dust.

  4. Redstone dust on top

    A redstone block carries a tag that lets redstone dust be placed on its upper face, which normally fails.

  5. Texture reuse

    Textures are fetched at startup from an earlier Minecraft release, so the jar holds no game assets, and a resource pack can replace them.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.
