About this project

What does Overloaded Compressed Blocks add?

Overview

Allows creation of compressed blocks for any other block (this includes other mod's blocks) using a relatively simple JSON config. In that config you only need to mention resource name for the base.

It will generate recipes for the 3x3 compression and un-compression for each block automatically (which can be disabled in the config entry).

This was part of Overloaded for 1.12 and has since been split out.

InGame Example

Eample Config Entries (Better Formatted Version)

[ { "baseRegistryName": "minecraft:cobblestone", "compressedPathRegistryName": "compressed_cobblestone", "texturePath": "minecraft:textures/blocks/cobblestone.png", "depth": 16, "hardnessMultiplier": 9.0, "recipeEnabled": true }, { "baseRegistryName": "minecraft:.*_log" } ]

Only required field is baseRegistryName (which allows Regex). Rest are optional with the same defaults as shown above. Texture will default to {namespace}:textures/blocks/{path}.png.

Warnings

Client - Server Syncing

The config needs to be kept in sync between client and server. If they are out of sync issues will occur.

Texture Sheet Size

Since this generates dynamic textures for many blocks there is the possibility of filling out the entire texture space. The amount of texture space you have depends on your graphics card. If you get a TextureStich exception while loading you have run out of space. To alleviate this there is a config entry for max texture size.
