PipePlus

by Pitan Network

PipePlus adds tiered transport pipes in copper, tin, silver, emerald and ruby that move items and fluids between containers on Fabric.

FabricClient and serverMozilla Public License 2.0Open source1.16.4 – 1.21.1

What it does

Each pipe tier extracts from a connected container at its own rate: copper every 20 ticks, tin every 10 ticks and silver every 5 ticks. A pipe is connected to a container by right-clicking it. The emerald and ruby transport pipes move items faster than the gold pipe from Simple BC Pipes, the ruby pipe at 2 times its speed. Simple Pipes is the base mod these tiers extend.

The mod is built on top of three required dependencies: Fabric API, MCPitanLib and Simple Pipes. It is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.16.4 – 1.21.1 across 16 release versions, and the latest file targets 1.21.1. Installation needs all three libraries next to PipePlus, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The code is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Transport pipe tiers

    Copper, tin and silver transport pipes each pull items from a connected container on their own tick interval.

  2. Fluid pipe tiers

    Matching copper, tin and silver fluid pipes pull fluids from a connected container at the same rates.

  3. Faster emerald and ruby pipes

    The emerald transport pipe runs faster than the gold pipe, and the ruby pipe runs 2 times faster than it.

  4. Pipe addon for Simple BC Pipes

    The mod extends the Simple BC Pipes system with extra tiers rather than replacing its blocks.

What the author says

There are currently no plans to port it to Forge. (You can port it) Since it does not have copper ore etc, so we recommend adding Tech Reborn etc.
