Crafting and Using Compressed Blocks

What Compressed Blocks Are For

Compressed blocks are the input for sieving and hammering. The mod includes Compressed Cobblestone, Compressed Stone Hammer, Compressed Dirt, Compressed Sand, Compressed Gravel, Compressed Flint, Compressed Dust, Compressed Soul Sand, Compressed Netherrack, Compressed End Stone, Compressed Andesite, Compressed Diorite, Compressed Granite, Compressed Crushed Andesite, Compressed Crushed Diorite, Compressed Crushed Granite, Compressed Crushed Netherrack, and Compressed Crushed End Stone. Each one packs nine of its loose material into a single block, saving space and enabling the compression-based recipes.

Making Them

Use an Auto Compressor to turn loose materials into compressed blocks automatically. The Auto Compressor (Rationing) variant does the same job but limits output so you do not over-compress. For manual crafting, combine nine of the loose item in a crafting grid to get the compressed block. Reverse the recipe to unpack a compressed block back into nine loose items when you need them.

Feeding Sieves and Hammers

Compressed Gravel, Compressed Sand, Compressed Dirt, Compressed Dust, and Compressed Soul Sand go into Heavy Sieves and Auto Sieves. Compressed Cobblestone, Compressed Andesite, Compressed Diorite, Compressed Granite, Compressed Netherrack, and Compressed End Stone go into hammers — Compressed Wooden Hammer, Compressed Stone Hammer, Compressed Iron Hammer, Compressed Golden Hammer, Compressed Diamond Hammer, Compressed Netherite Hammer — and into the Auto Hammer or Auto Compressed Hammer. Crushed variants are the hammer outputs you then sieve or smelt.
