Chutes
by Lykrast
Chutes adds two hollow vertical blocks that carry dropped items and other entities through an enclosed shaft, for players building item transport in 1.12.2.
What it does
A chute is a hollow vertical block with open space inside and solid blocks on its four sides. Items dropped into the top travel down through the shaft, and a Droppers can launch items out of the bottom. The mod adds two blocks, a Wooden Chute and a Wooden Entry Chute, which differ in how they take items in.
Builders use the blocks for several purposes: funnelling dropped items toward a collection point, creating compact elevators with the help of fans, and making air-filled holes through water. Because a chute takes up the space of a single block, a shaft costs less than a comparable structure built from solid blocks.
Chutes is published for Forge only, for 1.12.2, and the Chutes files for 1.12.2 are version 1.0.0. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Hollow vertical shafts
The blocks form an enclosed tube that moves items and entities downward, with nothing inside except empty space.
Wooden Chute and Wooden Entry Chute
Two block variants give builders a standard shaft and an entry point for feeding items into the line.
Compact elevators
Fans placed beside a chute can lift items or players upward, so a vertical lift takes little room.
Water-crossing air holes
A chute can carve an air-filled passage through water, useful for shafts that run under or across lakes.
