About this project
What does Trash Compactor add?
Description
Transform your unwanted items into valuable XP with the Trash Compactor! This convenient utility allows you to convert junk or excess items into XP, giving you a reason to no longer throw them away into lava pits!
How It Works
As items are compacted, the internal XP container of the Trash Compactor will continue to fill, until a maximum limit has been reached (64). XP from the container can only be transferred to empty bottles, which are then filled to provide an output of a Bottle o' Enchanting. All items are currently treated equally in terms of the XP output they provide.

Unsupported Blocks
Blocks that cannot be compacted are:
- Any blocks with tile/block entities
- Bottle o' Enchanting
Hoppers/Capability Usage
- Top: Compactable Item Input
- Front: Empty Bottle Input
- Sides: Fuel Input
- Bottom: Result Output
