Logistics – Pipes, Routing & Automation

A modern, BuildCraft-inspired logistics system for Fabric Minecraft.

Logistics brings classic item transportation back to Minecraft — with visible in-pipe movement, tiered progression, and deep network automation. Inspired by BuildCraft and Logistics Pipes, the mod focuses on clear, physical systems that are easy to understand, fun to design, and powerful to scale.

🚚 Tier 1: Mechanical Pipes

Simple, dumb pipes that just move items. No item awareness — they do their job every time regardless of what's flowing through them.

Stone Transport Pipe – very slow backbone connectivity with random routing
Copper Transport Pipe – standard backbone with random routing
Item Extractor Pipe – pull items from adjacent inventories (wrench-configurable, requires power)
Item Merger Pipe – converge multiple inputs to a single output
Golden Transport Pipe – accelerate item transit when powered by redstone
Item Passthrough Pipe – connects only to pipes; bypasses inventories
Item Void Pipe – delete unwanted items

🧠 Tier 2: Smart Pipes

Item-aware pipes that inspect contents and make routing decisions.

Item Filter Pipe – route specific items to specific destinations
Item Insertion Pipe – prefer inventories with available space

🌐 Tier 3: Network Logistics

Your inventories become abstract resources. Pipes advertise contents, fulfill requests, and automate crafting across your entire network.

Pipes:

Basic Logistics Pipe – network backbone; accepts and deposits addressed items with optional filtering
Provider Logistics Pipe – connects to adjacent inventories and advertises their contents to the network
Requester Logistics Pipe – request specific items from the network on demand
Supplier Logistics Pipe – keep a target inventory stocked with configured items
Crafting Logistics Pipe – automate crafting recipes fulfilled by the network
Process Logistics Pipe – route in-progress crafting jobs to dedicated machines
Satellite Logistics Pipe – remote output point for routing items to distant destinations
Chassis Pipes (MkI–MkV) – modular pipes with swappable logistics module slots

Modules (slot into Chassis Pipes):

Provider Module (I–II) – advertise adjacent inventory contents at different tiers
Extractor Module (I–III) – pull items from inventories at increasing speeds
Passive / Active Supplier Module – push stock to requesters automatically
Crafter Module (I–III) – fulfill crafting requests at increasing speeds
Quicksort Module – route items by type to sorted destinations
Terminus Module – mark a pipe as a terminal endpoint
Sink / Polymorphic / Enchantment / Mod Sink Module – accept overflow with varying match rules

⚡ Power

RF energy generation and distribution using the Team Reborn Energy standard.

Redstone Engine – simple, safe, steady power; never overheats
Stirling Engine – fuel-powered with heat management; shuts down safely on overheat
Creative Engine – infinite power for testing and creative mode

🏭 Automation

Macerator – grind ores, gems, and materials into fine dusts for smelting and crafting
Kiln – RF-powered electric furnace for any vanilla smelting recipe
Laser Quarry – automated 16×16 mining with energy-scaled speed and automatic frame construction

🔧 Tools

Wrench – configure pipe connections and machine facing
Marking Fluid – color-code your pipe networks for visual organization

Compatibility

Works with any mod using Fabric's Transfer API (ItemStorage). JEI integration for recipe viewing.
