AllTheCompressed in All the Mods 11

This pack ships AllTheCompressed version 5.0.1, using the file allthecompressed-26.1.2-5.0.1.jar. It is in All the Mods 11 0.10.0-beta, and it has been part of the pack since 0.8.0-beta or earlier.^[1]

Unverified The sources here include no description of the mod and no in-jar guidebook, so they do not show what its items and blocks do or how they are obtained. Check in game for those details.

AllTheCompressed adds stacked, compressed versions of common blocks, from 1x up to higher tiers. The recipe dump for this pack lists 1,504 shaped crafting recipes and 1,340 shapeless crafting recipes that make the mod's items, so the easiest way to start is to learn the pattern on one block and reuse it.^[2]

Step 1: Make your first compressed block

Acacia is a good block to learn on, because every tier from 1x to 9x has its own recipe. The first step is Acacia Log 1x, which is a shaped crafting recipe.^[2]

9 × Acacia Log

Recipe id: allthecompressed:compress/acacia_log_1x

The 1x tier is the base of the chain.

Each higher tier has its own shaped recipe. Acacia Log 2x is the next step up.^[2]

Step 2: Learn to decompress

Compressing is not a one-way trip. Decompressing is a shapeless recipe, and it gives you 9 of the tier below. For example, the 2x log decompresses into 9 of Acacia Log 1x.^[2]

The planks follow the same pattern. Start with Acacia Planks 1x and work up.^[2]

Step 3: Try a metal block

Once the wood chain makes sense, try Block of Allthemodium 1x. It uses the same shaped compress and shapeless decompress pair.^[2]

Step 4: Energizing recipes

Some blocks are not crafted at all. The crystal and steel blocks, such as Block Of Niotic Crystal 1x and Block Of Blazing Crystal 1x, use Powah! energizing recipes. The energized steel recipes each make 2 blocks at a time.^[2]

Pack-specific recipes

This pack adds its own energizing recipes for Block of Vibranium - Allthemodium Alloy 1x, covering the 1x to 7x tiers. They are not part of the mod's own recipes.^[2]

AllTheCompressed is about storage-style blocks, not machines. The sources here show no multiblocks, no power or fluid handling of its own and no automation setup. What they do show is how its blocks are made and unmade: crafting recipes, plus a handful of Powah energizing recipes.^[2]

Compressing and decompressing

The bulk of the mod's recipes are plain crafting. The dump counts 1,504 shaped crafting recipes and 1,340 shapeless crafting recipes that make AllTheCompressed items. Compressing uses the shaped ones, and decompressing uses the shapeless ones.^[2]

Acacia Log shows the pattern clearly. Each step from 1x up to 9x has its own compress recipe.^[2]

Acacia Log 2xMod recipe

Crafting Shaped

9 × Acacia Log 1x

Recipe id: allthecompressed:compress/acacia_log_2x

Compressing makes the next tier up, here Acacia Log 2x.

Going back down is a separate shapeless recipe for each tier. Decompressing a higher tier gives you 9 of the tier below it. For example, the decompress recipe for Acacia Log 2x makes 9 of Acacia Log 1x.^[2]

9× Acacia Log 1xMod recipe

Crafting Shapeless

• Acacia Log 2x

Recipe id: allthecompressed:decompress/acacia_log_2x

One step down gives 9 of the previous tier.

The same chain runs all the way up. The decompress recipe for Acacia Log 9x makes 9 of Acacia Log 8x, and so on down to 1x.^[2]

The pack's Snow Block recipe

Most compress recipes are marked as coming from the mod. The compress recipe for Snow Block 1x is different: the dump says the pack added it. It is a shapeless crafting recipe, and its id ends in manual_only.^[2]

Powah energizing

A few compressed blocks are made in the Powah energizing system instead of a crafting grid. The dump lists 19 recipes of type powah:energizing that make AllTheCompressed items. Eight of them are written out: three for Block Of Blazing Crystal (1x to 3x), four for Block Of Energized Steel (1x to 4x) and one for Block Of Niotic Crystal 1x.^[2]

Energizing (powah)

Recipe id: allthecompressed:energizing/blazing_crystal_block/x1

Energizing gives you Block Of Blazing Crystal 1x.

The Energized Steel recipes give 2 blocks per craft. For example, the 1x recipe makes 2 of Block Of Energized Steel 1x, and the 4x recipe makes 2 of Block Of Energized Steel 4x.^[2]

2× Block Of Energized Steel 1xMod recipe

Energizing (powah)

Recipe id: allthecompressed:energizing/energized_steel_block/x1

This recipe yields 2 blocks per craft.

Unverified The energy cost and inputs of the Powah energizing recipes for the Blazing Crystal, Energized Steel and Niotic Crystal blocks are not shown in the sources here. They live in the pack's Powah energizing script, so check that or the recipe viewer in game. This site does hold All the Mods 11's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Compressed blocks in the pack's own recipes

The pack also uses compressed blocks inside its own Powah energizing recipes for the Vibranium Allthemodium alloy. The plain ingot recipe costs 1,000,000,000 energy, and the uncompressed block recipe costs 9,000,000,000. The script then adds a compressed-tier version of the block recipe for each tier. Its energy cost is the 9,000,000,000 base multiplied by 3 for every tier, so the cost triples each time you go up a tier.^[3]

Compressed blocks also show up as ingredients in other pack recipes. The pack's recipe for Dimensional Seed is one example: it asks for several compressed blocks alongside other AllTheTweaks items.^[4]

One more pack tweak: Blaze Rod Block is added to the c:storage_blocks/blaze_rod item tag. Recipes that ask for that tag can therefore accept it.^[5]

AllTheCompressed has no quest chapter to follow in this pack, so progression here is all about the tier number on the item name. Each block comes in numbered steps (1x, 2x, 3x and so on), and every step up is a separate item. Here is how the tiers work and what each family tops out at.^[2]

How a tier step works

The mod has a huge recipe set: 1,504 shaped crafting recipes and 1,340 shapeless crafting recipes that make its items. Shaped recipes compress a block up to the next tier, and shapeless ones break it back down. For example, one Acacia Log 2x decompresses into 9 Acacia Log 1x.^[2]

Crafting Shapeless

• Acacia Log 2x

Recipe id: allthecompressed:decompress/acacia_log_2x

Decompressing back down: one 2x gives 9 of the tier below.

The pack also adds its own shapeless crafting recipe for Snow Block 1x.^[2]

Tier ladders by material

• Acacia Log and Acacia Planks: both climb from 1x up to 9x, from Acacia Log 1x to Acacia Log 9x and from Acacia Planks 1x to Acacia Planks 9x.^[2]
• Block of Allthemodium: also 1x to 9x, from Block of Allthemodium 1x to Block of Allthemodium 9x.^[2]
• Aluminum Block: the item list for this mod runs from Aluminum Block 1x to Aluminum Block 6x.^[2]

Breaking the lower tiers of the wood ladders is simple. The loot tables for Acacia Log and Acacia Planks 1x through 6x each give back the block itself, with one roll, and only if the block survives an explosion.^{[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]}

Energizing tiers (Powah)

Some of the ladders are not crafted at all. They use the energizing recipe type from Powah!, so you make them in the energizing setup instead of a crafting grid.^[2]

• Block Of Blazing Crystal: three tiers, from Block Of Blazing Crystal 1x to Block Of Blazing Crystal 3x.^[2]
• Block Of Niotic Crystal: three tiers, from Block Of Niotic Crystal 1x to Block Of Niotic Crystal 3x.^[2]
• Block Of Spirited Crystal: two tiers, Block Of Spirited Crystal 1x and Block Of Spirited Crystal 2x.^[2]
• Block Of Energized Steel: four tiers, from Block Of Energized Steel 1x to Block Of Energized Steel 4x. Each energizing recipe here makes 2 blocks at once.^[2]

The pack's own addition: Vibranium - Allthemodium Alloy

The longest energizing ladder is one the pack adds itself through KubeJS. Block of Vibranium - Allthemodium Alloy has seven tiers, from Block of Vibranium - Allthemodium Alloy 1x to Block of Vibranium - Allthemodium Alloy 7x. Each tier uses the energizing recipe type, so you do not craft these in a grid.^[2]
