About this Mod
The goal of Squashed is to provide a massive amount of blocks that bridge the gap between decoration and storage utility, with a focus on polish and unique gameplay and interactions.
Features:
More than 400 new blocks and items.
New blocks and items are made from 2x2 or 3x3 compacting recipes of other blocks or items without a compacted block form.
Reversible Pillar Blocks: Reversible Pillar blocks are blocks with a unique placement behavior that is a mix between Log Blocks and Facing blocks. They also reverse the direction they are placed if the player is sneaking while placing them.
Tropical Fish Blocks: Tropical fish blocks have 21 unique different variations crafted using a hollow 3x3 recipe with certain items in the middle. Almost all tropical fish blocks use the new reversible pillar placement behavior.
Phantom Blocks: Made from a 2x2 of Phantom Membrane, and can be placed in mid-air.
Gunpowder Blocks and Packed TNT Blocks. Gunpowder blocks explode rapidly when exposed to fire or a Redstone signal. When packed TNT explodes, it explodes into nine clusters spreading upwards.
Unique Dispenser Behaviors.
And other gameplay features and interactions.
