HyPipes introduces a powerful and intuitive automation layer to Hytale, allowing you to create complex item transport networks with ease. Designed with a "native-feel" philosophy, the system integrates seamlessly with existing containers and blocks.

Key Features

1. 🔗 Smart Visual Connections: Say goodbye to static models. Pipes dynamically react to their surroundings, automatically forming corners, T-junctions, and intersections to create a clean, connected network.
2. ⚙️ Toggleable Extractors: No need for separate "Extractor" blocks. Simply **Press F** on any pipe to toggle it into **Extraction Mode**, allowing it to pull items from adjacent inventories automatically.
3. 📦 Inventory Integration: Fully compatible with standard Hytale containers. Connect chests, crates, furnaces, and storage units to automate your sorting and logistics.
4. 🚀 Lightweight & Efficient: Built to handle items logically without creating laggy entities for every transferred object.

FILTER YOUR PIPES WITH THE NEW FILTER FEATURE!

🧠 Advanced Logic & Global Filter Modes

The filtration engine has been rebuilt to support Global Action Modes. You no longer need to manually define every exclusion.

• Whitelist Mode (Block All): A secure, "deny-by-default" strategy. Only items explicitly listed in your rules will be allowed through.
• Blacklist Mode (Allow All): A high-throughput, "allow-by-default" strategy. Everything passes through the pipe except for the specific items you choose to block.
• Match NBT, Ignore NBT, Exact Match
• Custom ruleset for YOUR world!

Advanced Logic Control

🎖️ Priority System

1. Assign a Priority Level (0-10) to your output pipes.
2. Items will always attempt to go to the highest priority destination available (Priority 10 > Priority 0).
3. Overflow Support: If a high-priority output is full or disconnected, items automatically flow to the next highest priority destination.

🔀 Distribution Strategies

Choose how items are distributed among outputs of the *same* priority level:

1. Round Robin (Default): Distributes items equally one-by-one to all valid outputs.
2. Nearest: Prioritizes the closest output physically.
3. Farthest: Prioritizes the farthest output physically.

Configuration

pipe_config.json: You can customize the number of items moved per tick and the transfer frequency to suit your needs.

How to Use

1. Place Pipes to connect your Source container (e.g., a chest full of wood) to your Destination container.

2. Press F on the pipe directly touching (or adjacent to) the Source container.

3. The pipe will open a GUI where you can switch to I/O Mode, assign priority and more!

How to Use Filters

1. Right click item filter while in your hand

2. Configure black listed and whitelisted items

3. Press F on an input pipe to apply the filter
