Shrink Your First Contraption

Setting Up the Compressor

Place a Static Subspace Compressor near your target structure. This fixed station block is your main workstation for spatial compression. Ensure it has access to power—the compressor requires energy to operate.

Compressing Step by Step

Use the Compression Cannon or Creative Shrinkray to fire compression beams at your contraption. The mod scales structures through five power-of-two stages, so you'll need to fire multiple times to reach one-sixteenth size. Each stage compresses the structure further while maintaining accurate block collisions.

Watch for visual feedback as the target shrinks. Once fully compressed, an Empty Box will appear nearby—pick it up to store the shrunken sublevel in your inventory.

Deploying Your Miniature

Place the Pocketed Sublevel (the stored compressed structure) anywhere to expand it back to working size. The contraption will resume function immediately, including any bearings, pistons, or Redstone systems. You can now carry complex machines between dimensions as single inventory items.
