The Block Compressor is an upgrade to a [[Custom Crafters|Custom Crafter]] that transforms it into a machine that compresses and decompresses items on top of it. This module requires the [[Custom Crafters|Custom Crafter]]<nowiki/>s module to be installed to work correctly.
The Block Compressor is a machine that compresses and decompresses items on top of it. Compressed items enable containers like chests and shulker boxes to hold vastly greater quantities of items.  
 
Items can be compressed by a factor of 64 or 16, meaning that a single "64 compressed stick" is made from 64 regular sticks. Compressed items enable containers like chests and shulker boxes to hold vastly greater quantities of items.  


Compressed items can easily be decompressed back into their original state to be used in crafting and building. Be careful though, if a compressed item is placed as a block it will lose its compressed state. For example, if a *64 compressed diamond block is placed on the ground, 63 diamond blocks will have just been lost.

=== Compressing and Decompressing ===
=== Compressing and Decompressing ===
The GUI of a Block Compressor is used as a settings interface for the type of compression it will do. A Block Compressor has 2 modes: compression and decompression. Compression mode is set if an item with a stack size greater than 1 (e.g. 16 or 64) is in the Compressor, while decompression mode is set if a single item (stack size of 1) is in the Compressor.

Compressors can be moved with [[Relocators]]. When placing a relocated Compressor, the dropper will face away from the block that it was placed on.{{Slot|gm4:Relocated Compressor}}
