Barrelporters

Barrelporters adds two End-themed storage blocks for wireless item movement. Sender Barrelporters pull items from their own inventory and send them to Receiver Barrelporters that use the same network name. You can control where items go with filters, routing modes, upgrades, redstone, and config options.

Singleplayer and Multiplayer

Barrelporters works in singleplayer, LAN, and dedicated multiplayer servers. For multiplayer, install the mod on the server and on every connecting client. The server controls transfer logic, inventories, commands, and config. Clients need the mod for blocks, items, models, textures, GUI, and translations.

How to Start

Place a barrel.
Use Eye of Ender to create a Sender.
Place another barrel.
Use Ender Pearl to create a Receiver.
Make sure both have the same network name.
Put items in the Sender.
Items teleport to the Receiver.

Speed and Performance

Transfers run every 1 tick by default. Each Sender moves up to 10 source stacks or 640 items per tick by default. Admins can change ticks, stacks, items, and limits using commands or the server config. Large networks use cached sender and receiver positions and only loaded chunks are considered. The default per-network connection limit is 9,999,999,999, while performance safety caps prevent runaway lag.

Commands

/barrelporters info
/barrelporters block
/barrelporters speed set global stacks 10
/barrelporters speed set global items 640
/barrelporters speed set block stacks 64
/barrelporters limit set connections 9999999999
/barrelporters reload

Networks

Matching names connect Barrelporters. Unnamed barrels use Barrel. The Network Card copies a network from one Barrelporter and applies it to another.

Sorting and Filtering

Filter Upgrade enables allowlist and denylist filtering. Sorting Upgrade makes Senders prefer matching filtered Receivers, then compatible stocked Receivers, then unfiltered storage, then overflow Receivers.

Upgrades

Filter Upgrade: enables filters.
Sorting Upgrade: improves receiver selection.
Speed Upgrade: increases stack and item throughput.
Priority Upgrade: enables receiver priority routing.
Overflow Upgrade: enables overflow storage.
Range Upgrade: increases range from 256 to 1024 blocks.
Dimensional Upgrade: allows loaded cross-dimensional receivers.
Void Upgrade: safe by default and inactive unless explicitly enabled later.

Automation

Hoppers and item pipes can insert and extract from the 27-slot main inventory on every side except the front face. Upgrade slots are protected from automation, making the blocks useful for farms, mines, and storage rooms.

Safety

Items are only removed after successful insertion. Full Receivers do not delete items. Unloaded chunks are not force-loaded. Cross-dimension transfer requires Dimensional Upgrade and a loaded target chunk. Void Upgrade does nothing by default.

Compatibility

Minecraft Java Edition 26.1.2
NeoForge 26.1.2.30-beta
Install on both client and server
No required Mod Menu dependency

Q: Can I change the speed?
A: Yes, through commands and config.

Q: Can I change the network connection limit?
A: Yes. The default is 9,999,999,999 for the network limit values, with performance safety caps.

Q: Will items disappear if no receiver exists?
A: No. Items stay in the Sender.

Q: Can I sort items?
