This module allows you to compress and decompress any stackable item or block by *16 or *64.
This module allows you to compress stacks of items into a single item for better storage.

== Features ==
 
=== General ===
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.
 
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.

Insert the recipe below into a [[Custom Crafters|Custom Crafter]] to upgrade it into a Block Compressor. When broken, the Block Compressor will drop both the items used to create a Custom Crafter and the items used to upgrade it into a Block Compressor.

=== Compressing and Decompressing ===
A Block Compressor has 3 modes. It can compress *16, compress *64, or decompress. To set compression, place a stack of either 16 or 64 items (of any type) into the middle slot of the Block Compressor GUI. To set decompression, place a single item (of any type) into the middle slot of the GUI.
The GUI of a Block Compressor is used as a settings interface for the type of compression it will do. A Block Compressor has 3 modes. It can compress *16, compress *64, or decompress.

Once compression mode is set, throw items on-top of the Compressor to compress/decompress them.

=== Technical Details ===
A chest full of *64 compressed items can hold a total of 110,592 items, 6400% more than a chest of uncompressed items (1728 items).


If compression is set, throw a stack of either 16, or 64 (depending on the mode) on the top of the Block Compressor. If decompression is set, throw a single compressed item on the top of the Block Compressor.
A chest full of shulker boxes, each full of *64 compressed items, can hold 2,985,984 items.
