About this project

What does Nerd Pipes add?

Nerd Pipes

Smart Transportation. Powerful Automation. Optimized Performance.

Nerd Pipes is a lightweight and configurable transportation mod for Minecraft 1.21.1, built for NeoForge.

Transport items and fluids directly between inventories using intelligent pipe networks, customizable extraction points, advanced filtering, and optimized routing.

Designed for both small survival bases and large automated factories, Nerd Pipes delivers flexible automation without unnecessary entity spawning or resource storage inside pipes.

Key Features

Item & Fluid Transportation

  • Transport both items and fluids through the same pipe system.

  • Transfer resources directly between source and destination inventories.

  • No dropped item entities or unnecessary intermediate pipe storage.

Configurable Extraction

  • Use the Pipe Wrench to configure any flange for extraction.

  • Install upgrades through the flange interface.

  • Adjust transfer speed independently for each extraction point.

Advanced Filtering

  • Configure separate item and fluid filters.

  • Choose between whitelist and blacklist modes.

  • Drag items and fluids directly from JEI into filter slots.

Smart Distribution

Choose how your resources are distributed:

  • Round Robin: Alternate between available destinations.

  • Nearest First: Prioritize the closest destination.

  • Farthest First: Prioritize the farthest destination.

  • Random: Select destinations randomly.

Customizable Networks

  • Disconnect individual pipe faces.

  • Dye pipes using all 16 standard Minecraft colors.

  • Build and customize interconnected transportation networks.

Performance-Focused Design

  • Shared cached routes reduce repeated path calculations.

  • Adaptive checks help avoid unnecessary processing.

  • Configurable work budgets and operation limits per tick.

  • Adjustable maximum network size.

  • Direct inventory-to-inventory transfers eliminate the need for moving item entities.

Built with multiplayer servers and large automation networks in mind.

Installation

  1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1.

  2. Place nerd_pipes-1.0.0.jar in the mods folder on both client and server.

  3. Optionally install JEI to enable drag-and-drop ingredient selection for filters.

  4. Launch the game to generate the configuration file.

Server Configuration

Configuration file:

config/rn_better_pipe-server.toml

Server administrators can customize:

  • Work budget per tick

  • Operations per tick

  • Processing batch size

  • Soft execution time limits

  • Maximum pipe network size

  • Adaptive check intervals

Restart the world after changing these settings.

Note: Execution time limits are soft limits. Long-running calls from other mods may exceed the configured time budget.

Compatibility

  • Minecraft: Java Edition 1.21.1

  • Mod Loader: NeoForge 21.1.264 or compatible 21.1 releases

  • Java: 21

  • Optional Integration: JEI 19.64.0.455 or compatible

Legacy Compatibility

Items stored in buffers from older versions are preserved and gradually transferred when destination space becomes available.

New transfers bypass intermediate storage and travel directly between inventories.

Nerd Pipes

Transporte Inteligente. Automação Poderosa. Desempenho Otimizado.

Nerd Pipes é um mod de transporte leve e configurável para Minecraft 1.21.1, desenvolvido para NeoForge.

Transporte itens e fluidos diretamente entre inventários utilizando redes de tubos inteligentes, pontos de extração personalizáveis, filtros avançados e rotas otimizadas.

Projetado tanto para pequenas bases survival quanto para grandes fábricas automatizadas, o Nerd Pipes oferece automação flexível sem criar entidades desnecessárias ou armazenar recursos dentro dos tubos.

Principais Recursos

Transporte de Itens e Fluidos

  • Transporte itens e fluidos utilizando o mesmo sistema de tubos.

  • Transfira recursos diretamente entre inventários de origem e destino.

  • Sem entidades de itens no mundo ou armazenamento intermediário desnecessário.

Extração Configurável

  • Utilize a Chave de Tubo para configurar qualquer flange como ponto de extração.

  • Instale upgrades diretamente pela interface da flange.

  • Ajuste a velocidade de transferência de cada ponto de extração individualmente.

Filtros Avançados

  • Configure filtros independentes para itens e fluidos.

  • Escolha entre whitelist (permitidos) e blacklist (bloqueados).

  • Arraste itens e fluidos diretamente do JEI para os filtros.

Distribuição Inteligente

Escolha como os recursos serão distribuídos:

  • Alternada: Alterna entre os destinos disponíveis.

  • Mais Próximo: Prioriza o destino mais próximo.

  • Mais Distante: Prioriza o destino mais distante.

  • Aleatória: Seleciona destinos aleatoriamente.

Redes Personalizáveis

  • Desconecte faces individuais dos tubos.

  • Pinte tubos utilizando as 16 cores padrão do Minecraft.

  • Construa redes de transporte interconectadas e personalizadas.

Otimização e Desempenho

  • Rotas compartilhadas em cache reduzem cálculos repetidos.

  • Verificações adaptativas evitam processamento desnecessário.

  • Orçamentos de trabalho e limites de operações configuráveis por tick.

  • Tamanho máximo de rede ajustável.

  • Transferência direta entre inventários, sem criação de entidades de itens.

Desenvolvido pensando em servidores multiplayer e grandes sistemas de automação.

Instalação

  1. Instale o NeoForge para Minecraft 1.21.1.

  2. Coloque nerd_pipes-1.0.0.jar na pasta mods do cliente e do servidor.

  3. Opcionalmente, instale o JEI para utilizar o recurso de arrastar ingredientes para os filtros.

  4. Inicie o jogo para gerar o arquivo de configuração.

Configuração do Servidor

Arquivo de configuração:

config/rn_better_pipe-server.toml

Os administradores podem configurar:

  • Orçamento de processamento por tick

  • Operações por tick

  • Tamanho dos lotes de processamento

  • Limites suaves de tempo de execução

  • Tamanho máximo das redes de tubos

  • Intervalos de verificação adaptativos

Reinicie o mundo após modificar essas configurações.

Observação: Os limites de tempo são suaves. Operações demoradas de outros mods podem ultrapassar o orçamento configurado.

Compatibilidade

  • Minecraft: Java Edition 1.21.1

  • Mod Loader: NeoForge 21.1.264 ou versões compatíveis da série 21.1

  • Java: 21

  • Integração Opcional: JEI 19.64.0.455 ou compatível

Compatibilidade com Versões Antigas

Itens armazenados em buffers de versões anteriores são preservados e transferidos gradualmente quando houver espaço nos destinos.

As novas transferências acontecem diretamente entre os inventários, sem armazenamento intermediário.
