Describe the feature
Currently, the Aerial Interface correctly exposes the player's inventory to adjacent blocks (e.g. hoppers, pipes, etc.), but when connected to a ComputerCraft (CC:Tweaked) computer, it only provides methods related to pressure and configuration.
There is no access to the player’s inventory via the standard inventory peripheral type — methods such as list(), pullItems(), pushItems(), etc. are not available.
Ideally, the Aerial Interface peripheral should expose both:
- its current type (pneumaticcraft:aerial_interface), and
- the inventory type (similar to how a Minecraft chest exposes both minecraft:chest and inventory).
That would allow computers to manipulate the player’s inventory through the Aerial Interface using standard CC inventory methods.
Reasons why it should be considered
It would allow players to automate their own inventories with CC, in the same way they already can using pipes or other item-transport mods.
This would make the Aerial Interface more consistent and useful in automation setups.
Additional details
Minecraft: 1.20.1 Forge
I already asked about this on the PneumaticCraft Discord (March 2025, user DrSigma).
From that discussion it became clear that the Aerial Interface currently doesn’t expose the inventory peripheral type to ComputerCraft, which is why inventory-related methods like .list() or .pullItems() are unavailable.
