Fluid Pipes
by pinter.gabor
Fluid Pipes lets players carry water, lava and other fluids around the world through pipes, with fittings, tap-style pipe types and cauldron filling.
What it does
Pipes move fluids from a source to a destination, so a water supply can reach sugar cane plantations, a fountain with a redstone switch, or a glass factory. Lava can be carried as well, and pipes can power furnaces. Creating new fluid sources is limited by the mod's material preservation rules, so fluids are not endless. Drip pipes can water plants, and collecting pipes push fluid into empty cauldrons.
The mod adds ten wooden pipe types and ten stone pipe types. They differ mainly in texture and capability: some wooden pipes carry water more effectively, some stone pipes carry lava more effectively, and the more expensive variants do not suit every use. Pipes are turned with a hoe after placement. Fittings join pipes cleanly and create intersections, but they respond to redstone power, which stops fluid transport. Fluid Pipes is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.21.4 – 26.2, under the MIT License.
Key features
Ten wooden and ten stone pipes
Two families of twenty pipe types in total, each with its own texture and fluid strengths.
Fittings and intersections
Fittings join pipes neatly and generate intersections, and they stop transporting fluid when powered by redstone.
Drip and collecting pipes
Drip pipes water plants, while collecting pipes push liquid into empty cauldrons, though with lower efficiency.
Lava-powered furnaces
Lava carried through pipes can feed furnaces, so fluid networks can supply fuel as well as water.

What the author says
The primary use of fluid pipes is to carry fluids around the world. But they are not limited to this. Water dripping from pipes can be used for watering plants. And, in the Minecraft world, which is not limited by material preservation laws, new water and lava sources can be created from the dripping liquid by…
