9 of any of the configured allowable items/blocks may be compressed into a single item/block. This process may be repeated to compress a stack up to 9 times to store a maximum of 24,794,911,296 items in a full (64) stack of fully compressed items.

Configuration
Block interaction to open the compression workbench can be configured with the plugin’s config.yml file:
plugin.yml
# Configures whether/how players can open the compression workbench by
# interacting with a block, while optionally holding a "key" item to enable the
# interaction.
#
# For example, if set to `target: minecraft:fletching_table` and
# `holding: minecraft:diamond` then players with the correct permissions will be
# able to open the crafting workbench by right clicking a diamond against a
# fletching table.
open-on-interact :
# Whether opening the crafting workbench by interacting with a block is
# enabled.
#
# Values: true|false
enabled : true
# ID of the target block that must be interacted with (right clicked on) to
# open the crafting workbench.
#
# Values: <any valid block id>
target : minecraft:fletching_table
# ID of the item that must be held by the player when interacting with
# (right clicking) the target block.
#
# To disable an item requirement, set to `minecraft:air`.
#
# Values: <any valid item id>
holding : minecraft:diamond
Additionally the plugin reads what blocks are allowed to be (de)compressed from 2 files:
compressible-items.txt and
compressible-blocks.txt.
These files will be created in the plugin’s config directory on first load.
