Simpler Wooden Pipes
Simpler Wooden Pipes is a Forge fork of Simple Wooden Pipes that adds low-tech pipes and pumps for moving liquids, including water generated by pumps.
What it does
Wooden pipes carry liquids between a tank and other blocks at a slow rate. Their texture uses wooden plank graphics, and they connect to a tank and to one another. The second item, a pump, draws water from a source block placed below the tank and pushes it up through the pipe network into the tank.
The fork changes how the pipes handle materials. Instead of hardcoding stone pipes, the burn behavior is determined by the material each pipe is made from. A black whitelist override lets server owners change material-based behavior, and a config option stops the mod from registering its default recipes. The build tools were updated for this release.
The mod runs for Forge 1.12.2 only. The latest file is 1.8 for 1.12.2, published 2025-08-15. Both the server and every player need it, because the environment is client and server. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker available.
