Registry ID: bioforge:air_vent.

Purpose

The Air Vent is a passive clean-air block. Once placed, it registers itself with the server and removes AIR_BORNE contamination once per second within a spherical radius of 10 blocks.

Behavior

• No fuel, filter inventory, GUI, or redstone pulse is required in V0.54T.
• Positions inside the radius are treated as protected from new airborne reservoirs while the vent remains loaded and valid.
• Existing airborne contamination is repeatedly cleaned; contact or environmental contamination is not removed.
• The active-vent cache is rebuilt through block placement/ticks and cleared safely when the block or server is removed.

Gameplay

Use a vent in laboratories, wards, entrances, and other rooms where persistent airborne exposure would make research impossible. It complements a Medical Mask and HazCure suit but does not clean tools, surfaces, food, water, or infected entities.

Obtaining

Its shaped recipe combines Black Steel Plates, a Sterile Filter, and an Electronic Control Unit. The exact tag-compatible layout is visible in JEI and the Research Tablet.

Pack notes

The current radius is the implementation constant 10. Addons that need another type of passive field should register their own behavior rather than changing stored contamination data from the client.
