Fluid Pipes Mini
by pinter.gabor
Fluid Pipes Mini lets players carry water, lava and other fluids through pipes built in the world, with four pipe types that differ in speed and cost.
What it does
Fluid pipes are the primary use of the mod: they carry fluids around the world from a source to a destination. The mod covers a limited set of uses, such as irrigating plants with water dripping pipes, feeding lava to furnaces, and pushing liquids into empty cauldrons to collect them. Wooden pipes carry water quickly, bamboo pipes are fast for the same purpose, while obsidian pipes handle lava well but are costly and hard to break, and stone pipes suit lava with a little less comfort.
Fittings join pipes neatly and generate intersections, and they respond to redstone power, which stops fluid transport when powered. Pipes can be turned with a hoe after placement. Fluid Pipes Mini requires Fabric API on Fabric and is published for Fabric and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.2, under the MIT License as open source. It is incompatible with the Fluid Pipes mod.
Key features
Four pipe types
Wooden, bamboo, obsidian and stone pipes each suit a different purpose, with different speed and cost.
Fittings and intersections
Fittings connect pipes cleanly and create intersections, and a powered fitting stops fluid from moving through it.
Furnace and cauldron feeding
Pipes can push lava into furnaces to fuel them, and push liquids into empty cauldrons to fill them.
Dripping pipes
Dripping pipes collect drips, which is less efficient than pushing fluid into a cauldron, and they serve plant watering.

Use cases
Irrigation
Water dripping pipes water plants, and water pipes can supply carrot planting.
Furnace fuel
A short pipe carrying lava fills a furnace at about the rate a cauldron fills, so a furnace can run with little attention.
Who it’s for: Players who want a smaller set of fluid pipes than the full-featured Fluid Pipes mod, with fewer pipe types and a simpler setup, and server owners who want fluid logistics without a large content pack.

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…
