Modern Dynamics
by Technici4n
Modern Dynamics brings item and fluid pipes to Fabric and NeoForge, with extractors, attractors, inhibitors and filters that control how contents move through a pipe network.
What it does
Fitting an extractor to an item or fluid pipe lets that pipe draw from the inventories it touches. An attractor on an item pipe pulls contents from the connected inventories, and on a fluid pipe it raises the rate at which fluid is pulled across the network. Filters decide which items or fluids a pipe carries.
Item pipes route toward the nearest inventory by default. An inhibitor adds 1000 to the length of a connection for pathfinding, so item pipes avoid that connection when another route exists. The mod was written after instantaneous pipes for Modern Industrialization, and these pipes move contents over time instead.
Modern Dynamics runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It requires Fabric API on Fabric. Files cover 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge, and snapshot builds are also published. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and art and sound assets fall under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
