Block Compression

FOR THE HOARD!

A small plugin for SpigotMC that allows players to "compress" and "decompress" stacks of items or blocks for easier storage or transport of mass quantities.

9 of any of the configured allowable items/blocks may be compressed into a single item/block. This process may be repeated to compress a stack up to 9 times to store a maximum of 24,794,911,296 items in a full (64) stack of fully compressed items.

Configuration

Block interaction to open the compression workbench can be configured with the plugin’s config.yml file:

plugin.yml

# Configures whether/how players can open the compression workbench by
# interacting with a block, while optionally holding a "key" item to enable the
# interaction.
#
# For example, if set to `target: minecraft:fletching_table` and
# `holding: minecraft:diamond` then players with the correct permissions will be
# able to open the crafting workbench by right clicking a diamond against a
# fletching table.
open-on-interact:
  # Whether opening the crafting workbench by interacting with a block is
  # enabled.
  #
  # Values: true|false
  enabled: true
  # ID of the target block that must be interacted with (right clicked on) to
  # open the crafting workbench.
  #
  # Values: <any valid block id>
  target: minecraft:fletching_table
  # ID of the item that must be held by the player when interacting with
  # (right clicking) the target block.
  #
  # To disable an item requirement, set to `minecraft:air`.
  #
  # Values: <any valid item id>
  holding: minecraft:diamond

Additionally the plugin reads what blocks are allowed to be (de)compressed from 2 files: compressible-items.txt and compressible-blocks.txt.

These files will be created in the plugin’s config directory on first load.
