Block of Tempered Iron

Summary
The Tempered Iron Block is a storage block: 9 tempered-iron ingots compressed into a single full block. It exists to save chest space — instead of 9 stacks of ingots, you keep one stack of blocks.
Mini-example: short on chest room? Craft a stack of ingots into blocks, and when you need the ingots back, uncraft the block — the cycle is strictly lossless, just like the vanilla iron or gold block.
On its own it produces no energy and does nothing — it is simply a compact form of the metal and a decorative building block.
| Form | How you get it |
|---|---|
| Block (full cube) | crafting 9 ingots → 1 block; uncrafting 1 block → 9 ingots |
Block Properties
An ordinary solid block with the same feel as the vanilla iron block. Any pickaxe breaks it.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Tool | any pickaxe |
| Drop | itself (the block drops itself) |
Recipes (processing)
No processing recipes — just two workbench recipes that move metal in and out of the block form. The cycle is strictly reversible and lossless. 9 ingots → 1 block (workbench, 3×3 grid of ingots). 1 block → 9 ingots (workbench, shapeless — put the block in to get the 9 ingots back). The source ingot is tempered iron.
Progression
For now the block is a compact storage form and a decorative building block. Future uses (beacon compatibility, an MV casing from a tempered block, and so on) are planned but not yet in the game.
