The port to 1.16 (and up) versions of minecraft has been started - however it's not available yet. For now we'd recommend using the 1.12.2 release of BuildCraft, although some features are missing (notably robots and the builder and filler). If you'd like to use either of those then you can use the 1.7.10 releases instead.
A backport to 1.10.2 is not currently planned. The reasons for this are outlined here, here, here, here, here, here and here.. Asking us is unlikely to make us reconsider - however, BuildCraft is open source and you're welcome to do it yourself if you really need a 1.10 version.

Pipes
The major feature of BuildCraft is the pipes. Pipes are used to transport items, fluids, and mechanical energy between inventories/machines. There are many different types of pipes all with unique functions, including Wooden, Cobblestone, Stone, Sandstone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Emerald and Obsidian. Pipes can be combined with Pipe Sealant to allow them to make Fluid Pipes that can transport liquids or with Redstone to make Kinesis Pipes to allow them to transport mechanical energy.
BuildCraft 7 is a great BuildCraft release, bringing additions and improvements in almost every area of the mod. Here are some highlights:
- Modularization is back, for those pack developers who need a smaller subset of our functionality.
- A fresh, new look by CyanideX! (Excluding robots. Those have, sadly, been delayed - due to time issues - but will make it to a later Stable release.)
- Optimizations to fillers, builders, pipes, robots and other parts of the mod.
- Pipes: round robin sorting in diamond pipes, weighting in diamond fluid pipes, massive stripes pipes powers, improved pipe rendering and colors!
- Recipes: more expensive lists, less expensive pipe plugs
- Silicon: New Assembly Table and Integration Table, ACT replaced by a CraftPacket-inspired Packager+Stamper system
- Factory: Tanks get comparators now!
- Robotics: New Zone Planner, improved trigger/action logic, fancy robot animations.
- Paintbrushes! For some reason.
- Tons of other little improvements and additions that would take up too much space.
BuildCraft 7 has some changes you might want to watch out for:
- Generally, your world and map will work fine and upgrade properly bar a few exceptions. However, downgrading is impossible.
- If you have any custom config options, the config format and filename changed for both BC and Compat, so look into those.
- The Quarry is now in the Builders module, as opposed to BC 3.x and below when it was in the Factory module.
- Robots now only pull items and fluids out from wooden or emerald pipes.
- Drop Items in Pipe has been combined with Accept Items.
- The Crafter robot has been removed as it was deemed to be useless.
- Flower harvesting from Robots has been removed due to bugs it caused.
- Lava in the Combustion Engine doesn't burn (!?) anymore. Use the Stirling Engine.
- The Advanced Crafting Table is deprecated, but not removed yet. You might want to upgrade your setups.
- You can no longer put Lists inside Lists. Listception.

Not really compatible with galacticraft. When i try to power my galacticraft machines with buildcraft engines minecraft crashes. Once i tried with kinesis pipes and i had to delete buildcraft because minecraft kept crashing because it was still placed.
In reply to grebanton1234:
In the future you might try using MCEdit to delete just the troublesome blocks! That program only works for 1.12 and below though.
In reply to Flexico:
i could do that but i need the engines
Does anybody know if there is another mod that has stuff like the filler, quarry, builder, etc. from buildcraft? I'm starting to see that the 12.2 version of this mod probably isn't going to be finish and I don't want to use a mod that's only a quarter to half functioning, especially when the main blocks isn't even survival ready. I know there is RFtools but that mod.. well.. just don't feel right to me so I was wondering if there might be some other mod.
@AlexIIL - Great mod, so thanks for all the work you have put into it! I understand the Filler does not work in 1.12.#, will it work in your 1.16 version which I understand you are going to release soon? Or is there a way to add it into 1.12?? Want to fill my mined quarry's back up, and this will be the quickest way that I know of, or is there an alternative you might reccomend?
Why are you going 1.16+ instead of 1.15? It appears that most mods are stepping to 1.14 or 1.15 next. Just curious, awesome mod :)
Is there a way we can enter the config and allow the builders and etc for survival mode because we want it on me and my friends server but we cant have it
So there won't be a version for 1.15.2? Or will the 1.16 version will be backwarts compatible?Just checking if I got it rightFound the answer, then I'll update my package to 1.16 once it's released. Great mod and thanks for the effort :)
In reply to cristianmonroy2:
Why would you remain on 1.10.2? What mods are on it that are stopping you from upgrading?
In reply to asiekierka:
the lag :(
In reply to cristianmonroy2:
If you are experience lag with Forge 1.12.2, there are more better optimization mods for 1.12.2 than 1.10.2
Each time i try to load this mod with forge it never shows up. Is there a certain way I have to do it to use it? does anyone know how to solve this?
what about newer versions of minecraft like 1.14 or 1.15?
There appears to be some rendering oddities with the redstone engines and such. Causing bits things such as UI elements to render incorrectly, such as voxel map and the ingame UI, visible effects upon this are when the inventory is open and an engine is onscreen somewhere, causing some parts to stay lit and other parts to darken incorrectly.
Is there mod that allows use of coolant in combustion engine? Wiki sais it should be compatible as is, but it doesn't work.
I'm playing on 1.12.2 with latest ic2 and buildcraft installed.
Can I use this mod in a modpack?
Uhm... could you please make it for 1.15.2 please...? I really want this mod it looks amazing...
can you please make it for 1.15.2?
