HighTide's Material Bits
by TheHighTide
HighTide's Material Bits adds compacted Bits items for nuggets and for materials that cannot be turned into nuggets, such as diamond, emerald, copper and netherite.
What it does
Each new Bits item packs a material into a smaller unit, so that players can carry and store materials in a more compact form. The author notes describe Iron Nugget and Iron Bit, Gold Nugget and Gold Bit, and Diamond and Diamond Bit as examples of this pairing. Materials that have no nugget form in vanilla Minecraft are given Bits items instead.
The mod is intended for adventure and equipment play on Fabric, where the compacted materials can be used alongside the standard items. It requires Fabric API, which must be installed next to it. Builds exist for 1.20.4, 1.20.5 and 1.20.6, with 0.1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0, but the project is not open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.
