it's not a bug, because you create the item at a 1:1 ratio. Since you'll get the same number of items that you started with, you aren't condensing.

 

In addition to what Nicit said: while it's true that /condense is basically a special case of /craft, the same cannot be said for the other way around. There was a suggestion for adding a /craft command (which I strongly supported btw), but I don't know what happened of it

 

What about quartz?

 

Forcing it with /cnd hand works because 4 quartz items are combined into 1 block, therefore actually reducing inventory space.

 

Yea but why doesnt /cnd all work? just curious

 

It... does work on quartz. At least it did recently when I didn't want it to.

 

both /cnd all and /cnd hand work on quartz, while /cnd alone doesn't, because 1) quartz can be condensed indeed (4 items → 1 block) but 2) the process is irreversible (therefore you don't want to do it by mistake)

 

Could've sworn I just did it and it didnt work...weird

 

Jamie dismissed it for the time being I believe

 

Non issue, see nicit6's explanation
