Hammer Recipes

excompressum:hammer, excompressum:compressed_hammer, and excompressum:chicken_stick use the same shape:

input: an item ID or item tag.
lootTable: an inline loot table describing the drops.

data/example/recipe/hammer/my_logs.json

{
  "type": "excompressum:hammer",
  "input": "#minecraft:logs",
  "lootTable": {
    "type": "minecraft:block",
    "pools": [
      {
        "rolls": 1,
        "entries": [
          {
            "type": "minecraft:item",
            "name": "excompressum:wood_chippings",
            "functions": [
              {
                "function": "minecraft:set_count",
                "count": {
                  "type": "minecraft:uniform",
                  "min": 2,
                  "max": 4
                }
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

For compressed hammers, use excompressum:compressed_hammer:

data/example/recipe/compressed_hammer/my_compressed_block.json

{
  "type": "excompressum:compressed_hammer",
  "input": "example:compressed_source_block",
  "lootTable": {
    "type": "minecraft:block",
    "pools": [
      {
        "rolls": 1,
        "entries": [
          {
            "type": "minecraft:item",
            "name": "example:crushed_result",
            "functions": [
              {
                "function": "minecraft:set_count",
                "count": 9
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

For Chicken Stick drops, use excompressum:chicken_stick with the same input and lootTable fields.

Generated Heavy Sieve Recipes

Use excompressum:generated_heavy_sieve when your compressed block should reuse the normal sieve drops of another block or item.

input: the compressed block to put into the Heavy Sieve.
source: the normal sieve source whose drops should be reused.
rolls: optional roll count. If omitted, Ex Compressum uses heavySieveDefaultRolls.

{
  "type": "excompressum:generated_heavy_sieve",
  "input": "example:compressed_gravel",
  "source": "minecraft:gravel",
  "rolls": 7
}

Custom Heavy Sieve Recipes

Use excompressum:heavy_sieve when you want to define the Heavy Sieve drops directly.

input: the block or item to sift.
lootTable: an inline loot table describing the drops.
waterlogged: whether the Heavy Sieve must be waterlogged.
meshes: the mesh tiers that can use the recipe.

Mesh values are string, flint, copper, iron, gold, diamond, emerald, and netherite.

        "entries": [
          {
            "type": "minecraft:item",
            "name": "minecraft:redstone",
            "functions": [
              {
                "function": "minecraft:set_count",
                "count": 7
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Wooden Crucible Recipes

Use excompressum:wooden_crucible to define which items or tags can be converted into fluid.
