Copper Item Pipes

Turn Copper Grates into a Transport System

This mod fundamentally changes the functionality of all copper grate variants, transforming them into an efficient item transportation system. Regardless of oxidation level or wax coating — all copper types work perfectly for transport.

Crafting and Compatibility

Crafting remains the same as in the vanilla version: four copper blocks arranged in a star pattern. The modification accepts any type of copper blocks, including waxed and oxidized variants.

How It Works

Item Loading

• Only hoppers can place items into the system
• Dispensers and droppers cannot push items into these pipes

Transport Speed

• The system moves entire stacks of items simultaneously
• This is a significant advantage over regular hoppers which only move one item at a time

Process Visualization

• Items are visibly moved through the grates
• When breaking a grate containing an item, it drops out

Route Branching

• With multiple directions available, the system selects one accessible route
• Other paths are ignored, allowing for backup branches to be created
• Upon reaching the end of the route, items automatically go into any touching containers
• If containers are full, items remain in the grates until space becomes available

Item Extraction

• To unload items from the system, simply place a hopper underneath a copper grate

Waterproof Operation

• The system is fully operational when waterlogged
• Water presence doesn't affect functionality

Practical Applications

• Creating compact item transportation systems
• Seamless integration with water-based constructions
• No need to worry about copper oxidation states

Enjoy simplified item transport in your world with Copper Item Pipes!
