Advanced Chimneys
by enderlanky
Advanced Chimneys adds chimney pipes that carry smoke and heat from a source outdoors, keeping interior rooms free of particles.
What it does
Chimneys can be crafted from common building materials and placed with blocks already in the inventory. Players build simple vertical chimneys or larger ventilation networks that link pumps, ducts, vents, pipes and hoppers, and redirect smoke from a heat source through the system. The smoke color depends on which connected sources the path passes through.
Chimney appearance can be changed by repainting with a brush held in one hand and a sample block in the other, and water dyes the chimney in the inventory. Connecting several heat sources raises the smoke volume for a more dramatic effect. Smoke particles respond to obstacles and wind direction, and their intensity shifts with what passes through the chimney. Custom smoke emitters let players define smoke behavior for each heat source setup.
The mod requires ForgeEndertech. Advanced Chimneys runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for game versions 1.20.1 – 26.3, under a Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license. It is not open source. Pollution Realms is named by the author as a companion for a fuller atmospheric setup.
