This Matters Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) – Convert Organic Matter into Compressed Coal

This Matters Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) introduces a unique, lore-friendly way to convert organic waste into coal blocks, making it a practical mod for fuel management and survival resource optimization. At the heart of the mod is the Organic Matter Compressor, a custom utility block that simulates underground pressure to transform items into compressed fuel.

To activate the process, players must place the compressor deep underground (below Y-level 15), mimicking the pressure required for real-world coal formation. Once powered and properly configured, players can combine one organic item with one piece of coal to produce a full coal block, offering an efficient fuel alternative for furnaces and industrial setups.

• Environmental Placement Mechanic:
  The compressor must be placed below Y-15 to simulate geological pressure and function properly.
• Simple and Configurable:
  The mod features clean mechanics and can be tweaked for balance in modpacks or servers.
• Survival and Automation Friendly:
