Move fluids between dimensions with Create. Pipe fluid into a Rift Pump in one dimension and pump it out of a linked Rift Outlet in another. It's a steady, always-on fluid line that sits alongside trains rather than replacing them.
What it adds
Rift Pump: the sending end.
- Pipe fluid into the port on its back.
- Turn it with a shaft from below. The faster it spins, the faster fluid crosses: RPM × 0.25 mB per tick, which is 64 mB per tick at 256 RPM.
- Stress impact: 8 SU per RPM.
Rift Outlet: the receiving end.
- Pull fluid out of the port on its back with a mechanical pump.
- A redstone signal pauses it.
Rift Tuner: links a pump to an outlet, like the belt connector links shafts.
- Right-click one block, then the other. Either order works, and you can walk through a portal between the two clicks.
- Sneak-right-click a block to unlink it.
Each pump links to exactly one outlet. Both blocks hold 4 buckets and show their contents through their windows and on Engineer's Goggles.
Range
- Different dimensions: positions are scaled the way Nether portals scale them (Nether ×8), and the two ends must be within 128 Overworld blocks of each other. That's about 16 blocks inside the Nether. Any dimension works, modded ones included.
- Same dimension: within 64 blocks. Good for cutting a long, laggy pipeline short.
Chunk loading
While the Rift Outlet is loaded, it keeps the Rift Pump's chunk loaded, so the machines feeding the pump keep running (about a 3×3 chunk area, similar to a portal). It only works in that one direction: when you leave the outlet behind, the pump's side unloads too. A redstone signal on the outlet turns it off.
Config
Everything is adjustable in config/riftplumbing-common.toml: stress impact, transfer speed, both ranges, and chunk loading (on/off and radius).
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge
- Create 6
Recipes
The Rift Pump and Rift Outlet are made in the Mechanical Crafter and need Precision Mechanisms, so they arrive in the mid-to-late game. The Rift Tuner is made at a crafting table. Look them up in JEI or EMI in game.
