This mod allows compressing cobble with the compressor of the technic mod without adding textures.
Please tell me if someone already made a mod for compressing cobble via technic's compressor before.

Depends: default
Recommends: technic
License: WTFPL
Download: zip, tar.gz
github: compressed_cobble



If you got ideas or found bugs, please tell them to me.

How to install a mod?

Amazing. But sadly, it stops working with > 400 millions of cobble

Click to resize

Digging those nodes is.. interesting.

If you dig them with enabled mip mapping, they become darker.


I'm wondering why this doesn't lag very much.

More Blocks features compressed cobblestone now, by the way. :)

I think I made a compressed cobble mod before this, let me check...
*checks*
yep!:

If you want me to add a mod to the server, ask, but I have probably already thought about it and decided not to because the mod makes the server laggy or causes bugs or something.

Currently there have been only about 10 - 20 different people on the server, and only about 5 have been on a lot and made houses.

This is a very good mod IMHO. Think of the thousands of cobble we all waste because of our inventory full?

Can you uncompress the cobble? It would be useless without being able to, except just to show off how much cobble you've mined:
"I got a level 17 compressed cobble!"
"Awesome! I'm only on level 3..."

lol

Anyway, I kind of like my version better, because of the textures. Even though this one looks kind of cool, I'm kind of "against" high-res textures. My version just made each "level" of compression slightly more red, to keep the 16x16 texture.
If I ever release the mod *cough*I-will...probably*cough*(not that it's hard to make or anything...), I might add a number on the texture, so you can see what level it is more easily (you can just use F5, though, so IDK)
Also I'll have to change mine so it uses the compressor, if the technic mod is installed.

sorry, my crafting code was weird (1 cobble node to 1 27-cobble node etc. and uncrafting was missing)
l set the maximum level to 6 because the nodes became invisible

As my mod description should tell you, l don't use high resolution textures. l used visual_scale and nodebox to let them look so. And it doesn't cause lag. https://github.com/HybridDog/compressed ... it.lua#L16

yes but technically, it is more than 16x16 pixels.

If you look at a node with a 16x16 texture you only see 16x16 pixels if you have the right distance to the node, look straight to it, look into its middle, have a specific fov setting, maybe don't use anti aliasing,…
but it could be more texels

yes, but l'm still wondering why using big textures lags much more
