3x3 Quartz Compaction
Craft and uncraft quartz blocks with parity to other resource blocks
About this Mod
This datapack both allows for decrafting quartz blocks into quartz, and makes the crafting recipe for the block a 3x3 recipe. More expensive for decoration, but far better for storage.
Good for if you have 1 billion quartz sitting in storage (such as from other mods, or because you just do a lot of sidequesting during netherite mining like me) and don't much need the decoration block to be cheap.
Only tested in 1.21.7, almost certainly can work in other versions though
