Description

Quick Link

Quick Link adds a lightweight and intuitive wireless item, fluid, energy, and chemical transfer system to Minecraft.

What's New

Jade & WTHIT Integration

  • Native Jade and WTHIT support – look at any Plug block to see live transfer information
  • View the current upgrade tier and speed multiplier
  • See the configured maximum transfer rate
  • Monitor actual incoming and outgoing transfer amounts
  • Idle plugs are clearly marked as Idle

FTB Teams & FTB Chunks Integration

  • Team-isolated networks – with FTB Teams installed, matching colors only connect blocks belonging to the same team
  • Claim-aware networks – with FTB Chunks installed, plugs inside claimed chunks use the claim owner's team network
  • Claim and non-claim networks stay separate – even when owned by the same team
  • Perfect for multiplayer servers and shared bases, preventing accidental connections to another team's network

Important: Installing FTB Chunks on an existing world that already uses Quick Link with FTB Teams may split some existing networks. Plugs inside claimed chunks will be separated from plugs outside claims. Reconfigure or repaint affected sides if necessary.

Color Removal

  • Clear individual network colors – hold Shift + RMB with any dye on a quadrant to remove its color
  • Easily reconfigure networks without breaking or replacing the Plug block

New Block Design

  • Chemical Plug support – added a new Chemical Plug block for Mekanism chemical transfer
  • Completely redesigned visuals – a fully modeled 3D block with legs and side cones
  • Concrete-style textures with colored quadrant insets on every face
  • Matching particles – block breaking and mining particles now reflect the block's color

Inventory Icons

  • Proper 3D item models – all plug blocks now display their full 3D appearance in the inventory and hotbar

Upgrade System

  • Four upgrade tiers – insert upgrade items directly into the Plug block
  • Higher throughput – each tier increases transfer speed by ×2 / ×4 / ×8 / ×16

HUD Overlay

  • On-screen upgrade indicator – when looking at a Plug block, the current upgrade tier is displayed

Item Tooltips

  • Multilingual tooltips – all items now include helpful descriptions in English, Russian, and Chinese

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed round-robin distribution when a single Plug has multiple POINT sides — all destinations are now cycled evenly
  • Fixed several fluid transfer edge cases for improved robustness
  • Improved Chemical Plug compatibility with Mekanism Pressurized Tubes

Main Features

  • Instant wireless item, fluid, energy, and chemical transfer between compatible containers at any distance
  • Color-based networks – paint quadrants to link blocks together
  • Team and claim-aware networks with FTB Teams and FTB Chunks
  • Live transfer statistics through Jade and WTHIT
  • Easy color editing – use Shift + RMB with any dye to clear an individual quadrant color
  • Per-side configuration – each face can act as sender or receiver (RMB + empty hand, Shift + RMB + empty hand to disable a side)
  • Visual role indicators – easy to understand at a glance
  • Configurable transfer speed – adjust item, energy, fluid, and chemical throughput via the config file
  • Infinite Fluid Source – right-click a Plug side of a Fluid Plug with a water bucket to turn it into an infinite water source
  • No cables, no pipes, no clutter

Compatibility

Tested and works alongside Pipez and Mekanism transport pipes and logistics systems without conflicts.

Jade / WTHIT

When Jade or WTHIT is installed, looking at a Plug displays:

  • Current upgrade tier and multiplier
  • Maximum transfer rate
  • Last outgoing transfer amount
  • Last incoming transfer amount
  • Current idle status

Supports Item, Fluid, Energy, and Chemical Plugs.

FTB Teams / FTB Chunks

  • With FTB Teams installed, networks additionally require matching team membership, not just matching colors.
  • With FTB Chunks also installed, blocks placed inside a claimed chunk join the network of the claim's owning team instead of the placer's own team.
  • Claim-based networks are always kept separate from non-claim networks — even for the same team.

How It Works

  1. Craft the Quick Link block.
  2. Place it next to a container, tank, energy storage, or compatible chemical handler.
  3. Paint quadrants to assign it to a network.
  4. Set each side as Plug (output) or Point (input).
  5. Items, fluids, energy, or chemicals will automatically transfer between linked blocks.
  6. To remove a quadrant color, hold Shift and right-click it with any dye.

Design Goals

  • Simple to learn
  • Minimal setup
  • High performance
  • Vanilla-friendly aesthetics

Perfect for compact bases, automation builds, multiplayer servers, and long-distance logistics without messy pipe systems.
