MeatBlocks
by SolventJ
MeatBlocks lets players compress raw meat, cooked meat and rotten flesh into storage blocks and break them back into single pieces.
What it does
Each block recipe turns nine pieces of one food into a single block, which keeps stacks of meat compact in chests and storage rooms. Raw meat blocks, cooked meat blocks and rotten flesh blocks are all available. Cooked meat blocks can also be made by smelting or smoking raw meat blocks, so a stock of raw meat can be cooked in bulk. Blocks can be decrafted back into nine pieces.
The mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge. The newest release adds a hard meat block to the set. The file history covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, and the latest builds for both loaders target 1.21.10. The source code is public and the code is under the MIT License.
Key features

Use cases
Storing food in bulk
Compressing meat into blocks frees inventory slots when a player collects large amounts of food for travel or a base.
Cooking stock ahead of time
Raw meat blocks can be smelted or smoked in one batch, so a player does not have to cook each piece separately.
Who it’s for: Players who gather or farm a lot of meat and want fewer inventory slots taken up by it, and server owners who want a simple food storage option.
How it compares
Meat Cuboid is a NeoForge-only mod for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License, with client and server environment. Chickenmeat is Fabric-only, released under the MIT License and open source, and covers 1.21.11 – 26.2, so it targets a later range than MeatBlocks. Realistic Rotten Flesh supports Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.16.2 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.
