Create: Kinetic Chutes.
Create: Kinetic Chutes adds a Create-style chute block that moves items between inventories, horizontally, upward or downward, without rotational power.
What it does
The addon places a Kinetic Chute next to an inventory such as an Item Vault. The chute pulls items from the container on its back side and pushes them out in the direction it faces. A wrench rotates a horizontal chute to change its transport direction, so one block can route items along a row of storage.
Vertical chutes move items downward by default. Set to Move Up, a chute takes from the inventory below and inserts into the one above; set to Move Down, it takes from the inventory above and inserts into the one below. This covers moving materials between floors of a compact factory. Filter items can be used alongside the chutes to control which items are allowed through, which helps keep unwanted items out of the wrong inventory.
The mod is an unofficial addon for Create and requires Create to run. It is open source under the MIT License and is built for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Both the server and every player need the mod, and bug reports belong to the addon author rather than the original Create developers.
Key features
Horizontal transport
A chute placed beside an inventory moves items sideways, and a wrench sets the direction it pushes.
Vertical transport
Vertical chutes move items up or down between stacked inventories, with downward as the default.
Filter support
Filter items installed in the chute decide which items may pass through, similar to the Smart Chute.

How it compares
Create: Direct Chute is also a Forge and NeoForge addon for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, and it is open source. Hopper Gadgetry runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.3 under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, also open source. Create: Springs is limited to Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License. Kinetic Chutes fills the same role of moving items between inventories, but targets only 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 and uses its own filter-based chutes.
