Getting Started with the Crusher and Compressor

Basic Setup

Both machines use a simple furnace-style interface. Craft a Crusher or Compressor using stone and standard furnace parts, then place it in your world.

Operating the Machines

Add fuel (coal, wood, etc.) to the bottom slot. Place items you want to process in the top slot. The machine will begin working and output results to the collection slot.

What You Can Do

Use the Crusher to break down tools, equipment, and blocks into their base ingredients, or run simple items through to generate XP. The Compressor squeezes materials together—compress coal blocks into diamonds, or transform gold into emeralds. You can also convert blocks into stairs and back to create bonus building materials. This makes both machines useful for recycling damaged gear and automating resource generation.
