    About

    Ex Compressum is an Ex Nihilo addon that eases the early grind of skyblock worlds with tools and automation that build on Ex Nihilo-style resource gathering. Compressed Hammers break Compressed Blocks into nine of their processed forms, such as turning compressed gravel into sand, while the four-times-faster Compressed Crook speeds up gathering from foliage. A Heavy Sieve can sift Compressed Blocks with a suitable mesh, trading some efficiency for processing more material at once; its default output is equivalent to seven rather than nine blocks, and that amount is configurable. The Auto Compressor makes compressed forms from items when a 2×2 or 3×3 recipe exists, and powered Auto Sieves, Auto Heavy Sieves, and Auto Hammers automate sifting and breaking blocks. The Wooden Crucible slowly draws water from plant materials such as leaves, saplings, flowers, cactus, apples, and sweet berries, offering an alternative to rain. Animal baits can attract animals beyond their natural biomes, including cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, ocelots, and wolves, when the required environmental conditions are met. Compressed Mobs are stronger-looking variants that can spawn naturally and split into multiple ordinary mobs of the same type when killed by a player. Other additions include an Ore Smasher that places supported ore gravel or sand and can craft those blocks from ore pieces in the player's inventory, plus a Bat Zapper for bats.

    Written from Modrinth . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Does not change the game's code directly.

    Adds 60 blocks, 1 mob, 123 recipes and 1 loot table.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. It contacts 1 web address. See Privacy

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 39 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      39 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 29 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends about you

    We read its code without running it: it contacts 2 web addresses while you play.

    Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.

    Its files for older Minecraft versions (1.7.10 to 1.16.5) also send your player name.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · All 29 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of all 29 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • whitelist.blay09.net
      Purpose not known.
    • sessionserver.mojang.com
      Talks to the Minecraft login service.
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.

    How we checked · 6 places read
