The Compression Crafter
The compression crafter is a powerful crafting machine.
It crafts using blocks and barrels. It is built like a ring, with an inside area ranging from 3x3 to 1x1. The individual compression crafters must face inwards. It can be built flat, or vertically.
It is activated with a redstone signal. There must be an inventory for the results of crafting to be output to. The side that recieves the redstone signal defines the bottom of the crafting grid.
Blocks can be converted to item form in different ways:
•The contents of barrels will be used as-is. 8 barrels full of cobblestone can be used to craft 32 furnaces in a single cycle.
•The item that a block drops can be used, as can the item dropped when mined with silk touch. A line of 3 smoothstone will make cobblestone slabs, but a 2x2 of smoothstone will make stone bricks.
•Finally, the block can be broken, and then uncrafted. Two wooden logs can be used to make 4 wooden pressure plates.
To craft a piston, three wooden logs, 4 smoothstone, a block of iron, and a block of redstone will make 1 piston, 9 planks, 8 iron, and 8 redstone.
