This small mod only contains 1 block, a block named Compressor. It is a block designed to compress singular materials into blocks. At the moment there are 2 types of compressors, a normal compressor and a netherite compressor. This is one of my only 1.17.1 mods. The mod itself isn't really hard to create, it was the fact that I had a lot of bugs interrupting my production that this mod turned out so, odd.
There is 1 bug I couldn't fix but I am pretty sure it was associated with the program I used instead of the actual mod.
The netherite compressor can compress ingots and ores such as iron, gold, diamond, emerald, netherite, redstone, coal and copper. It will compress the materials into blocks, in return though, you gotta have netherite to actually craft the netherite compressor. The normal compressor can compress basic materials such as string to wool, coal to coal block, cobblestone to stone, wheat to haybales and so much more.
So if you want a small mod with a unique block, check this one out. The recipe is easy to learn and the block just looks good as a decoration.
(Warning, the compressors will compress any number of items into a single block, so if you want to save some of your resources do not put more than 1 of the item)

(The compressor works with any wood type, hence why there is random wood types shown above)
