Vent Block

by PiterGroot

Vent Block is a small Fabric mod for Better Than Adventure that adds a block which launches mobs and items upward.

What it does

Placing a vent block lets players move items and mobs vertically, carrying them up to eight blocks above the vent. Standing or walking on top of a vent sends a rider back down, and sneaking above one stops the upward push so the rider drops again without fall damage. The mod was made to make vertical transport simple in Better Than Adventure 7.3 and later, using a new Reinforced Piston block in its construction recipes. Vent Block is client-side only, so servers run without it and only the player needs it. It requires HalpLibe, and Mod Menu (BTA Port) is optional. Builds exist for b1.7.3 only, snapshot builds are published, and the code is under the MIT License, open source.

Key features

  1. Vertical item and mob transport

    The vent block carries items and mobs upward, reaching eight blocks above it.

  2. Controlled descent

    Sneaking above a vent stops the lift, and the rider falls back down without taking fall damage.

  3. Reinforced Piston crafting

    The vent is built with the new Reinforced Piston block, which suits many contraption designs.

What the author says

Update: this mod was specifically made to make vertical item transportation easy but since BTA 7.3 we now have an official way of doing exactly that using the new Reinforced Piston block! A small minecraft BTA mod that adds a vent block for mob/item transportation.
