Create: Air Ducts

Air Ducts – A Create Add-On for the Breeze-Inclined

Tired of rearranging your whole build just to get that Encased Fan lined up just right? Want to give your contraptions a cleaner, more flexible way to blow air around (literally)? Air Ducts is here to help!

This work-in-progress add-on mod for Create introduces a simple but powerful concept: ducting for air flow.

 With a few new blocks—straight ducts and 90° angled ducts—you can now reroute fan output to wherever you need it. Chain the ducts together in a 2D or a 3D route. Around corners, through walls, across builds—no problem! 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use Air Ducts to:

• Tidy up your fan-powered automation

• Reach those annoying spots that just won’t line up

• Look like a redstone HVAC engineer while you’re at it

Recipe for the straight section - surround andeside scaffolding with steel sheets.

Straight and angled sections can be crafted into one another directly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Straight duct sections are, well, straightforward. Angled ones? A little trickier, but super powerful once you get the hang of them.

Given an INPUT and a desired OUTPUT : 

1. Place your angled duct when FACING your OUTPUT side
2. You'll notice your block being in it's "packed" state - wrench the SIDE of it to set the opposite face as airflow input.
3. Wrench the same side to rotate the block clockwise around it's axis.
4. Repeat until the output lines up where you want it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

But wait, there’s more coming:

• Splitter Ducts to divide air streams - DONE

• Infuser blocks to add effects like splashing or smoking- DONE

• Effect-Carrying Vents to transmit fan effects across the whole duct system- DONE

• Plus: new textures and fancier block models are on the roadmap!

Create is required, of course. This mod just gives it a little... directional improvement.

Got ideas? Suggestions? Weird duct-based dreams? Drop me a line—this project is still evolving and I’d love to hear what you’d like to see.

You can check out my Ko-fi page! I’ll be posting behind-the-scenes stuff, in-dev features, and the occasional duct-related ramble.
Tips are totally optional—but very appreciated and help keep the airflow going. :)

Use Air Ducts to:

Features:

All vents can be rotated with a wrench.

Angled vents are a bit trickier to set up but it's easy to get the hang of it:

• When placed the vent will be in it's "packed" state, inoperable.
• Whack it with a wrench to put the INPUT side on the face opposite to the one you hit.
• Right-clicking it again will rotate the OUTPUT side anti-clockwise.

This mod is still WIP and more things are on the way:

• Fancier models
• New vents (valve, fast processing, crawlable?...)
• Custom flow types? (e.g. poison: to harm mobs and destroy vegetation)
