Features
Items affected by the Tinker Shamir passing over a Tinkering Compressor will be converted into or out of block form. Any amount of items can be converted, no matter the stack size. i.e. a stack of 64 will convert to 7 blocks, leaving 1 item behind, while a stack of 9 will convert to just 1 block.
Creation
To create a Tinkering Compressor, throw a Tinker Shamir and a Block Compressor on an anvil and power a downwards facing piston two blocks above the anvil (same as normal metallurgy smooshing). Doing the same process with an obsidian and the tinkering compressor will separate the tinker shamir from the compressor.
Usage
The GUI of a Tinkering Compressor is used as a settings interface for the type of compression it will do. A Tinkering Compressor has 2 modes. It can tinker items into blocks or detinker blocks into items. Placing 64 items in the Tinkering Compressor will set it to tinkering mode, and placing a single item into the Tinkering Compressor will set it to detinkering mode.
Once the Tinkering Compressor is configured, throw items onto the Tinkering Compressor to convert the items. Below is a list of affected items. Note that items don't have to be in exact stacks for tinkering to initiate, any amount of items greater than or equal to the minimum will produce the proper result.

| 9 Emerald (x9) | Emerald Block (x1) |
