Duct Block Input Connections

What are input connections?

The Duct block will "connect" to other blocks from which it expects to receive input. This is merely a visual indication to aid in placing Duct blocks within an item-transferring network. (Also, it makes things look a lot nicer.) Even if a Duct block does not know about another block, if the other block uses either vanilla Minecraft or Fabric transfer API methods to push items into the Duct block, it will work just fine, but the Duct block will not visibly connect to the block(s) in question.

This wiki page lists the blocks the Duct block is currently aware of and will "connect" to. If you have another mod whose blocks you would like my mod to be aware of, please file an issue and I will look into it.
