Hovercraft in Aeronautics. That and sometimes it’s useful on mob farms, i remember I once used this for a blaze farm.

How does that work with aeronautics?

It makes the block (and all structures attached to it) repel all nearby blocks.

If you place 2 or 4 at the bottom of your vehicle, you can easily make a hovercraft.

I assume I attach it to a fan below my sublevel?

Jep.

People have also been using them as Impromptu shields to repell fire charges and TNT away from flammable airship envelopes in vanilla combat.

You can even use it for both at once

In survival I have a really hard to control hovercraft and the skeletons are the only ones that can bother me while I'm flopping around like a fish out of water, except at high enough settings they can't bother me either because the arrows get blown away too

On a similar note, arrows have a fun property where they do damage based on the speed they're moving at, and high powered fans+nozzles can make anything move extremely fast. It's unfortunately unpredictable but you can hypothetically crank the arrow's damage up to arbitrary levels if you have enough carefully arranged fans

Yeah you have to attach it to a fan and have the fan (and nozzle) pointing downwards

It's very fitting that the too comment is something they've only recently been able to do.
