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 so.

By the way, I think Dwayne hid in there somewhere.
