This is ShyGuy_Deku's and my (GameIdiot's) attempt on the classical joke of dirt to diamonds.
Crafting dirt to compressed dirt, and so forth and so on, will, sooner or later, grant you a diamond.
Now, most of the recipes consist of just filling a crafting table with dirt or stone.
Some of the recipes have special patterns though.
All compressed blocks can be reverse crafted into their ingredients.
Also, avoid placing and breaking the compressed blocks, they might break, therefore stealing your time, if you do.
Complete crafting chain:
Dirt ---> Compressed Dirt ---> Double Compressed Dirt ---> Triple Compressed Dirt ---> Gravel
Gravel ---> Compressed Gravel ---> Double Compressed Gravel ---> Triple Compressed Gravel
Compressed-/Double Compressed-/ Triple Compressed Dirt x2 + Compressed-/Double Compressed-/Triple Compressed Gravel x2 ---> Compressed-/Double Compressed-/ Triple Compressed Coarse Dirt ---> Cobblestone
Cobblestone ---> Compressed Cobblestone ---> Double Compressed Cobblestone ---> Triple Compressed Cobblestone ---> Stone
/
Compressed-/Double Compressed-/Triple Compressed Cobblestone -smelting-> Compressed-/Double Compressed-/Triple Compressed Stone
Stone ---> Compressed Stone ---> Double Compressed Stone ---> Triple Compressed Stone ---> Block of Coal
Block of Coal ---> Compressed Coal ---> Double Compressed Coal ---> Triple Compressed Coal ---> Diamond Dust Speck
Diamond Dust Speck ---> Diamond Dust
Diamond Dust -smelting-> Diamond Shard
Diamond Shard x8 + Slime Ball ---> Diamond
By the way, I think Dwayne hid in there somewhere.
