Compressed Blocks

Store and move huge amounts of the basic blocks, and crush them in bulk.

Ten tiers#

Nine blocks craft into a compressed block, and nine compressed blocks into the next tier, up to ten tiers. Any tier crafts back into nine of the tier below. The tooltip says how many blocks one holds, and each tier is a shade darker.

Crushing compressed blocks#

A hammer crushes a compressed block into the next block down the chain at the same tier, so compressed cobblestone becomes compressed gravel. See the hammer page.
