Create: Pipe Connector
by javiluli
Create: Pipe Connector lets a player select two points and have the shortest valid Create fluid pipe route placed between them, with a live preview before anything is built.
What it does
Plotting Create fluid pipes by hand means placing each segment, turn and part one block at a time. This addon fills in the route between two selected pipes, so a player can plan the path, preview it, adjust the waypoints and confirm the build in a few steps. Paths route around blocking obstacles, and a player can place pumps, copper casing and glass sections along them. Anchors and waypoints let a player guide turns on complex routes, and a radial menu in game switches the route's pump or casing style.
The mod depends on Create and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source. Version 1.2.0 is the latest file for both loaders and was released on 2026-08-15.
Key features
Automatic route planning
The shortest valid path between two selected pipes is filled in automatically, with fewer manual placements.
Live route preview
A preview shows the valid path around obstacles before anything is placed in the world.
Pumps and casing styles
Routes can place automatic pumps, glass sections and copper casing, and the style can be changed from a radial menu.
Material checks
Required materials are shown before placement, which prevents an incomplete route from being built.
Shulker box materials
Materials stored inside vanilla shulker boxes can be used without unpacking them first, and that access can be disabled in the config.
