Kreezxil's Compressed Blocks
by kreezxil
Kreezxil's Compressed Blocks lets players compress common blocks into denser forms, so bulk storage takes less space and inventories stay manageable.
What it does
Players often run out of room because common blocks fill chests quickly. The mod provides compressed versions of those blocks, and each compression tier packs several blocks into one item. Recipes are laid out on the crafting grid, with nine base items forming the first compressed block, and nine of those forming the next tier.
The mod adds compressed coal blocks with a high burn time. A compressed coal block burns for 144,000 ticks, and a double compressed coal block for 1,296,000 ticks, which makes them a dense fuel for furnaces. Coal is not the only path: the author notes that the mod supports chains of compression beyond the first two tiers, and the 1.17.1 build covers vanilla fuel use as well.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.8.9, 1.17.1 and 1.18.2. Its files are released under the MIT License, the source code and issue tracker are public, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The latest file is 1.0.12 for 1.18.2, dated 2022-06-13. The author plans further compressed materials in later updates.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want to reduce inventory clutter from bulk blocks in survival worlds, and builders who want compact fuel stocks.
