This Matters
Allows you to compress organic matter into coal blocks
About this Mod

This mod allows you to compress organic matter (think grass, crops, planks) into a solid block.
By default it allows you to turn matter + 1 Coal into a Coal Block, using Datapacks more compressing recipes can be added to the Organic Matter Compressor.
You can even use datapacks to add different matter values to different items/blocks.
For the Organic Matter Compressor to work it needs to be placed at Y 15 or below for optimal pressure. (can be changed in the config)
This mod is recreates the block by the same name from Gany's Surface
