Useless Compressed blocks
by flooflez
Useless Compressed blocks gives Fabric players compressed versions of several vanilla blocks, stacked up to eight times in nested levels.
What it does
Each compressed block is built from nine copies of the level beneath it, and the process repeats up to eight times. The top level therefore stores 43,046,721 vanilla blocks in one placeable block.
Compressed Crafting Tables and Compressed Note Blocks keep the behavior of their vanilla counterparts, so a compressed Note Block still plays its special sound. Decompressing a block by placing it in the crafting grid returns the blocks it was made from. The mod runs on Fabric for 1.19.3 – 1.19.4, and the code is open source under the MIT License, with the source code and issue tracker publicly linked.
Key features
Eight compression levels
Each level multiplies the block count by nine, up to eight times, so a single block holds a very large stack.
Compressed vanilla blocks
Compressed versions of Purpur Block, Honeycomb Block, Endstone Bricks, Smooth Stone and Red Nether Bricks are available.
Functional compressed blocks
Compressed Crafting Tables and Note Blocks work like their vanilla forms, including the Note Block's special sound.
Decompression in the crafting grid
Putting a compressed block into the crafting grid returns the blocks it was built from.
