Temporarily Pausing Item Flow Without Redstone

Manually Toggling Duct Locks

The specialized duct allows players to directly intervene in item movement without needing to lay down redstone dust, levers, or switches.

1. Locate the specialized duct in your transport line that you wish to pause.

2. Interact with the duct directly to engage its player-controlled lock. This halts transfer operations without modifying adjacent redstone lines.

3. Observe the item flow between the block behind the duct and the block in front of it to confirm that transport has ceased.

Resuming Transfers

Manual locking is designed for temporary adjustments, such as maintaining machines, preventing inventory overflow, or organizing storage:

1. Complete your inventory management or maintenance on adjacent containers while the duct remains locked.

2. Interact with the specialized duct once more to unlock it.

3. The duct will immediately resume pulling items from the block behind it and pushing them into the block ahead.

Using this direct interaction lets you quickly service transport lines on the fly without breaking blocks or disturbing your automation setup.
