Tubes Reloaded

Tired of items accumulating in one place while you're short of them elsewhere? The solution is here! This mod offers an innovative item transportation system through special pipes that will help you organize efficient logistics in your Minecraft world.

Item Transportation

Pipes

The core elements of the system are pipes that automatically move items to the nearest available storage. Items can be loaded into pipes using hoppers, osmosis filters, and other devices. It's important to note that pipes only accept items when there is a connected destination point.

Tubing Pliers

Special pliers allow creating remote connections between pipes. Simply right-click one pipe, then another - and they will be connected. The pliers can also rotate shunts, loaders, filters, and distributors.

Sorting and Filtering

Shunts

Shunts accept items from five sides and output them through the sixth side. If there's no suitable storage on the output side, items are ejected into the world. Shunts always accept items, even if they can't redirect them, so be careful!

Filters

Filters work like shunts but have only one input side and an internal slot for one item. When the slot is occupied, the filter only allows items of that type to pass through. Access to the internal slot is available from four sides except the output side.

Distributors

Each face of a distributor can be either an input or output face. When an item enters through one face, it exits through another - with the output face changing with each new item arrival. If there are no suitable blocks to receive items, they are ejected into the world.

Color Pipes

Color pipes work like regular ones but only connect to pipes of the same color or to regular pipes, allowing you to create isolated transportation systems.

Item Extraction

Loaders

Loaders allow quick extraction of items from player inventory and transfer them to the pipe network or eject them into the world. Activating the loader opens an interface where you can move items for instant unloading.

Osmosis Filters

Osmosis filters are similar to regular filters but automatically extract items at hopper speed, making them ideal for automation.

Extractors

Extractors remove item stacks from storage when activated by redstone and eject them through the output side.

Additional Features

Redstone Pipes

Redstone pipes function like regular ones but emit a redstone signal when items pass through them, allowing for complex control systems.

Structures

Starting from version tubesreloaded-1.19-2.0.0.0, pipes fully support structure pieces and can be used in rotated and mirrored constructions, even when connected via tubing pliers.

Technical Information

Block Tags

The tubesreloaded:rotatable_by_pliers tag specifies which blocks can be rotated with tubing pliers. Using pliers on these blocks cycles through their block states.

Server Configuration

A configuration file is created in each save folder at <savefolder>/serverconfig/tubesreloaded-server.toml with the following settings:

• soft_tube_cap - soft limit on the number of pipes in a single network. When exceeded, transportation slows down. Default: 400
• hard_tube_cap - hard limit on pipe network size. When attempting to create a larger network, not all pipes will be included. Default: 500
• ticks_in_tube - base time in ticks that an item spends in each pipe. Default: 10
• max_items_in_tube - maximum number of items in a single pipe. When exceeded, the pipe breaks. Default: unlimited
• osmosis_filter_transfer_rate - automatic transfer rate of osmosis filters in ticks per item. Value 8 matches hopper speed
• max_remote_tube_connection_range - maximum distance for remote pipe connections in blocks. Default: 16.0 meters
