What it does

Smaller Units is a Fabric and Forge storage and utility mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that makes blocks smaller. The shrinker grid turns a block into unit space, and the grower grid enlarges unit space into full blocks again. Scales from 1/2 down to 1/256 are supported, with 1/256 the default lowest setting. Pehkui is an optional dependency, and the mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Shrinker grid

    A crafting grid that reduces a block to unit space, placed in a shrinker grid of its own.

  2. Grower grid

    A grid that enlarges unit space back into a larger block, controlling how far a block can be grown.

  3. Scales from 1/2 to 1/256

    Supported scales run from 1/2 down to 1/256, with the lowest level set as the default.
