by leplopp

PipeCraft, a NeoForge transportation mod for 1.21.1, adds viaduct pipes that carry players along networks built between connectors and booster blocks.

What it does

Viaducts are placed to form a network that joins a start point and a goal point through Viaduct Connectors. The mod is still a work in progress: the author notes that some content is unfinished and that bugs may appear, so a backup of the world is advised before installing it. Normal item and fluid pipes are listed as planned for a future update, and only the viaduct pipes are in the current build. The viaduct design is inspired by older Thermal mods.

Speed along a network is set by Viaduct Boosters, which also detect players through Detectors. A booster is adjusted with the mouse wheel while the player points at it. Holding an item and pressing Shift with right-click assigns a booster to others sharing its ID, so their speed changes together.

PipeCraft is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 0.3.1.1 as the latest beta file from 2025-10-29. Its public links cover only the issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Viaduct networks

    Viaducts are placed between Viaduct Connectors that mark start and goal points, forming a route players can travel.

  2. Adjustable booster speed

    Viaduct Boosters set travel speed from the mouse wheel, and Detectors register players passing along the route.

  3. Grouped boosters

    Boosters sharing an ID can be assigned together with Shift and right-click, so one change adjusts all of them at once.

  4. Dyes, light and removal

    Viaducts take dye colors, can be lit with Glowstone Dust, and are removed with a brush; wool and glass set solid or transparent faces.
