Curvy Pipes
by cyb0124
Curvy Pipes replaces block-based pipes with pipes that follow arbitrary curved shapes, so a logistics network can bend, branch and pass through tight spaces.
What it does
Pipes added by Curvy Pipes are not tied to blocks. They can be routed along curves, joined into branching networks and edited with a dedicated system for shaping curves. Several pipes can occupy the same block space, and they can even share that space with blocks from other mods, so a tiny pipe can sit inside the three-pixel gap above a create depot. Pipes have full collision physics, which lets players walk on a ramp built from them, such as a circular animal pen.
Curvy Pipes is distributed for Forge and NeoForge. Its files cover 1.7.10 – 26.1.2, with eight release versions listed: 1.7.10, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its public issue tracker is the only public link provided.
Key features
Curved pipe routing
Pipes follow arbitrary curved shapes, and a curve editor builds networks with curves and branches.
Multiple pipes per block
Several pipes can fit in one block space and share it with pipes or blocks from other mods.
Applied Energistics cables
With AE2 installed, cables can be made curvy by toggling with the off-hand left-click. Curvy cables attach to buses and terminals, and curvy quartz fibers can separate networks.
GregTech wires and pipes
Curvy Pipes can turn GregTech EU wires and cables into curved versions, and the tooltip reports the EU loss, while curved item and fluid pipes keep GregTech's temperature rules and material limits.
Optional grid alignment
An optional grid helps align pipes to regularly spaced points, and middle-clicking empty space is enabled.
