This Matters

by Mrbysco

This Matters is a Forge and NeoForge mod that adds an Organic Matter Compressor, a machine that turns organic blocks into denser forms.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 26.1.1

What it does

Organic matter such as grass, crops and planks can be compressed into a solid block, and the default recipes also turn organic matter plus one coal into a coal block. Datapacks can add further recipes and assign different matter values to other items and blocks. The compressor needs to be placed 15 blocks below the optimal pressure height to work.

The mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Optional support is available for CraftTweaker and Just Enough Items (JEI). The code is released under the MIT License and is open source. Versions cover 1.18.2 – 26.1.1 on Forge and NeoForge.

Key features

  2. Coal block recipes

  3. Datapack matter values

What the author says

This mod allows you to compress organic matter (think grass, crops, planks) into a solid block. By default it allows you to turn matter + 1 Coal into a Coal Block, using Datapacks more compressing recipes can be added to the Organic Matter Compressor.
