Preston - Block Compression Mod
Preston is an innovative mod that fundamentally changes the approach to resource storage in Minecraft. Instead of traditional warehouse organization methods, it offers a revolutionary block compression system.
Key Features
The main feature of the mod is the ability to repeatedly compress any full-sized blocks. You can combine 9 identical blocks into one compressed block, and then repeat this process multiple times. By default, 16 compression levels are available - from single to sexdecuple, but if desired, you can configure the system to work with any number of levels, up to a thousand!
Energy System
To balance gameplay, block compression requires energy. A special compressor operates on RF/FE energy, with the amount of required energy increasing with each compression level. If desired, you can configure the system to use regular crafting instead of energy consumption.
Compatibility with Other Mods
Preston integrates well with popular modifications:
- Just Enough Items for convenient recipe viewing
- HWYLA for displaying energy storage information in the compressor
- BuildCraft with Minecraft Joules support and "Has Work" triggers
- CraftTweaker with advanced customization options through special functions
For Developers
The mod provides a full API, allowing other developers to integrate the block compression system into their projects, create custom recipes for the compressor, and work with compressed blocks.
