Nico's Block Expansion is a block-focused add-on that introduces more useful, convenient, and practical blocks for your survival game. It adds compacted blocks made from items like piles of sticks, book stacks, sugar cane bales, and even flower bushes. These blocks help save inventory and storage space and can also be extracted back into their original items.
