TubeStuff
TubeStuff adds pipe-side blocks for players who run item tubes and pipes, with a buffer, a filter and a crafting station.
What it does
Among its blocks, a buffer accepts items from one side and passes them out through another, so tubes and pipes can be connected without leaving gaps. A filter placed beside the buffer controls the rate at which items move on, and a regulator can be added where the flow needs limiting. Players can also fill the buffer by hand, the way they would a chest.
The mod also includes a crafting block with a three by three recipe area, a single output slot and a toggle that sets how many items are made at once: one by default, or up to 64 until the output slot fills. A clear button empties the recipe. The block can be turned with the usual wrenches, including RP2 screwdrivers, BuildCraft-compatible wrenches, Crescent Hammers, OmniWrenches, the IC2 wrench and a stone hoe.
Installation needs Immibis Core, which must be present on the same side as the mod. TubeStuff runs on the client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, across 15 release versions, with 59.0.4 for 1.7.10 as the latest file. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Snapshot builds are published.
Key features
Tube-linking buffer
A block that accepts items on one side and sends them out another, letting pipes and tubes pass items between them.
Rate-limiting filter
A filter beside the buffer sets how fast items leave, with a redstone pulse controlling the flow rate.
Crafting station
A three by three recipe area with one output slot, where the output count toggles between one and a full stack of 64.
Stack merging
The buffer combines partial stacks of the same item into full ones, which reduces the work pipes have to do.

What the author says
This is a smallish mod that adds some useful blocks. The name TubeStuff is no longer temporary:P The mod doesn't require RedPower or BuildCraft, but it's much more useful with them. Also, there's no recipe for the buffer if you have neither of them.
