Craft or find a Portable Subspace Compressor to begin shrinking contraptions on the go, or build a Static Subspace Compressor as a permanent workstation. You'll need a Compression Cannon or Creative Shrinkray to fire compression beams at your target structure.

The Portable Subspace Compressor is a compact block you can place anywhere for quick shrinking tasks, while the Static Subspace Compressor is a larger fixed station designed for processing multiple structures. Both perform the same compression function, so choose based on your setup needs.

You can compress working contraptions with active bearings and Redstone systems—the mod preserves their function at the smaller scale. Stop the contraption before compression if you want to avoid unexpected behavior during the shrinking process.

After compression completes, use an Empty Box to collect the shrunken sublevel, which then becomes a Pocketed Sublevel item you can store in your inventory and transport anywhere, including across dimensions.

You compress structures in the dimension where they exist, but once packed into a Pocketed Sublevel, you can carry that item to any dimension and deploy it there.

Redstone contraptions, farms, and other automated systems continue to work after compression because the mod maintains accurate block collisions and functionality at all sublevel scales.

Use the Subspace Recycler block to process a compressed sublevel and reclaim its materials, effectively decompressing and breaking down the structure for resource recovery.

Yes—place compressed structures in Brass Display Cases, Andesite Display Cases, or Display Bottles to showcase your miniature contraptions as decorative blocks.

These are mechanical components designed specifically for miniature contraptions, allowing you to build moving parts and automation at the compressed scale.

Yes, the mod works directly alongside standard Create contraption bearings, swivel bearings, and all existing Create systems without breaking their functionality.
