Describe the feature

Is there a way for a block to occupy a channel without being able to transmit channel?I mean this block can connect to the network and occupy a channel, but other blocks interacting with it cannot access the network through this block.

Reasons why it should be considered

I’m just wondering if there is already a way to realize it.
Thank you!

Directional pattern providers and Interfaces do this

I assume this is for an addon?

Usually blocks have one main node, that can be connected to neighboring blocks, which allows them to transmit channels.

You could have a block that is sided, i.e. it has only one face that can connect to the network.

You might also be able to create a device that doesn't allow connections at all once it is connected, similar to how cables don't allow connections once they have a part on one side.

Out of curiosity: why do you need this behavior?
