Features


Blocks
Ameliorate adds a plethora of blocks, the largest of these are the compressed blocks that remedy inventory clutter while providing decorative uses. Other blocks in the add-on serve specific purposes with some having special qualities for you to find out.
Note: The blocks are organized by their item category. For example, the compressed blocks of 'items' are found at the 'items' inventory category.
