⚡ FastPipes — The Pipe Mod That Doesn't Lag Your Server
Tired of pipe mods that eat TPS for breakfast? FastPipes is a high-performance pipe system for items, fluids, and energy — built from the ground up for modern Minecraft. Zero unnecessary ticking, smart caching, minimal network traffic. Your server will thank you.
Originally forked from the abandoned Refined Pipes and completely rewritten.
Available for NeoForge 1.21.1 and Forge 1.20.1.
🔧 Three Pipe Types. Zero Compromises.
Item Pipes (Basic, Improved, Advanced) — Smart priority routing, visual item animations flying through pipes, and machines can push items directly into the network. No extractors needed on the receiving end.
Fluid Pipes (Basic → Ultimate, 5 tiers) — Real fluid transport with animated fill levels you can actually see. Filter what flows. Scale from 1,000 mB to massive throughput.
Energy Pipes (Basic → Ultimate, 5 tiers) — FE/RF compatible. From early-game 1k FE/t to endgame 32k FE/t. Just connect and go.
Each tier upgrades from the previous one — craft an Improved pipe by surrounding a Basic pipe with gold, and so on up the chain.
🎯 Attachments That Actually Do Things
Extractors (5 tiers) — Pull items/fluids from inventories with whitelist/blacklist filters, redstone control, exact matching, and four routing modes: nearest, furthest, random, or round robin.
Inserters (5 tiers) — Mark where items should GO. Priority-based delivery means your storage system actually works. Items bounce back when destinations are full — no void, no loss.
Void — Destroys overflow items and fluids. Lowest priority — only activates when nothing else can accept them. Supports filtering.
Sensor — Emits redstone signal when matching items/fluids pass through.
🖥️ Pipe Terminal
Access every inventory in your pipe network from one block. Search, extract, insert, and craft — all without running to 50 different chests.
- Search by name or
@mod - Click to pull items from the network
- Built-in 3×3 crafting grid that uses network resources
- Sort by name, count, or mod
Just place it next to any item pipe — it connects automatically.
🪣 Tiered Barrels
Need more storage? Six tiers of barrels from Oak (27 slots) to Netherite (108 slots, blast resistant). Right-click with an upgrade item to upgrade in-place — contents are preserved. Works seamlessly with pipe networks.
🖥️ Pipe Terminal + 🪣 Tiered Barrels = Simple Storage
No complicated setups. Connect item pipes to barrels (or any inventories), hook up a Terminal to the network — done. You now have a searchable, craftable storage system.
Pipe Terminal — access every inventory in your pipe network from one block.
- Search by name or
@mod - Click to pull items from the network
- Built-in 3×3 crafting grid that uses network resources
- Sort by name, count, or mod
- Just place next to any item pipe — connects automatically
👀 It Looks Good Too
- Pipes connect intelligently in all 6 directions with smooth 3D models
- Items visually fly through pipes with rotation animation
- Fluid levels animate in real-time inside fluid pipes
- All attachments render as proper 3D models on the pipe
- Paint any pipe with a dye to create separate color-coded networks
- Waterlogged pipes — build underwater pipe systems, no workarounds needed
- Comes with its own wrench! Disconnect sides, break pipes. Other mods' wrenches work too
🧩 Plays Nice With Others
- Jade — hover over any pipe to see transfer rates, fluid contents, items in transit
- JEI — full info pages for every item in the mod — pipes, attachments, barrels, upgrades, terminal
⚙️ Fully Configurable
Every pipe tier's speed, capacity, and transfer rate is tweakable in the server config. Barrel sizes too. Make it balanced for your modpack or crank everything to 11.
