Quark Oddities
by Vazkii
Quark Oddities is an addon for Quark that adds build-focused features meant to be used in large projects and contraptions.
What it does
This addon is a pseudoaddon: its code lives in Quark itself, and the install file serves only as a convenient way to add the module and to filter modpacks with it. Quark is required, so it must be installed alongside this addon. Updates arrive through Quark, so the addon itself does not need separate updating.
The features follow a design approach the author calls Player-Focused Design, which aims to give players a sense of satisfaction when they finish a build. The copper pipes, for example, route items in a way that is simple to place while staying low to the ground in pathing and logic, which makes them practical for large machines. Quark Backpack Plus is one of the mods that require Quark, and this addon sits in the same ecosystem.
The addon runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is available for Forge and NeoForge across nine release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.1, with the latest Forge file for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file for 1.21.1. The mod is released under the CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Copper pipes
Copper pipes move items through machines and contraptions, with logic tuned to stay usable in large builds.
Build-oriented blocks
Additional blocks and decorations are added to support building projects in survival and creative worlds.
Quark module integration
Each feature lives in Quark's module system, so server owners can enable or disable individual parts through its configuration.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players who already use Quark and want extra building features, and server owners who run Quark-based modpacks and want to include the module alongside it.
