Shr00m's Pipes

I wanted pipes that function similar to the old style of Thermal Dynamics ducts but support high performance and new features for better ordering/distribution.

The mod gives you item, fluid, energy and universal pipes, plus gas pipes if you have Mekanism installed. Every type comes in five tiers (Basic, Improved, Advanced, Elite and Ultimate), and the item, fluid and gas pipes also come in a clear version so you can actually watch your stuff moving through them.

The pipes

• Item pipes carry items, and you can see them travelling through the clear ones. If nothing can take an item, it waits in the pipe until something can. Nothing gets dropped on the floor.
• Fluid and gas pipes show how full they are in the clear versions. Gas pipes only show up when Mekanism is installed; without it they don't exist at all.
• Energy pipes move FE/RF and work with pretty much anything that uses it.
• Universal pipes carry items, fluids, energy and gas at the same time, and they hook straight into the single-type pipes too.

Higher tiers are faster and carry more. You can upgrade pipes that are already placed with Pipe Upgrade Kits, and sneak-click to upgrade a whole line at once. Dye a pipe and it'll only connect to pipes of the same colour, so you can run lines right next to each other without them merging.

Attachments

Stick these on a pipe to control what happens:

• Extractor: pulls things out of a container and into the pipe.
• Retriever: asks the network for something and pulls it back into its own container.
• Filter: lets only certain things through a side (whitelist or blacklist).
• Gate: opens and closes with redstone and splits the network when it's shut.
• Vacuum: sucks up dropped items, fluid source blocks and gas around it.
• One-way Guard: stuff can only go through one way. Flip it with the wrench.
• Detector: goes in the middle of a pipe and gives off a redstone signal when things flow through, like a detector rail.
• Distributor: turns a pipe into a junction that splits what goes through it. Use exact ratios, round robin or random.

Most attachments come with redstone modes, a priority setting and a filter. Attachment upgrades make them faster and give the filter more slots (3 up to 24).

Other bits

• The wrench connects and disconnects sides, opens attachment settings, takes attachments off and picks pipes up.
• JEI shows info pages for everything, and Jade shows a short tooltip (or a detailed one, if you turn that on in the config).
• Speeds, capacities, ranges and pretty much every number are in the config, so pack makers can balance it how they like.

Requirements

NeoForge 1.21.1. That's it. Mekanism, JEI and Jade are all optional.
