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 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

Features:

Spoiler
Straight vent

Straight vent: the most basic one. Simply relays the airflow forward.
Crafting ingredient for other vent types.

Straight vent block

Crafting recipe: andesite scaffolding surrounded by iron sheets

Knee vent

Knee vent: relays the airflow to 90 degrees.
Crafting ingredient for other vent types.

Knee vent block

Knee vent block crafts directly from straight one

Splitter vent

Splitter vent: has two outputs: one flow continues forward and the other - at 90 degrees.

Junction vent

Junction vent: also got two outputs, both are relayed at 90 degrees and in opposite directions.

Infuser

Infuser: apllies processing effect to the airflow pushing through it.

Any vent connected to the infuser will inherit and relay the processing type further.

Right-click with an empty hand to cycle through the effects.

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)

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. :)
