Mods

Flexible item transport using router blocks and pluggable modules

Overview

Welcome to Modular Routers! This is a highly flexible mod for moving items around the world in various ways. With a single block - the Item Router - and a selection of plug-in module items, you can:

pull items from an inventory (including modded inventories like Storage Drawers)
send them to other inventories near & far
place items as blocks
break blocks
drop items into the world
absorb dropped items
fling items across the world
sort items (including some sophisticated filters, more than just item/meta/NBT matching)
void unwanted items
remotely interact with your player inventory
extend & retract lines of blocks (drawbridges!)

... and more. Possibilities abound for interesting item-manipulating contraptions. While plenty other mods can do all of the above, Modular Routers can do these things in one block, just by plugging in the right combination of modules.

This mod is for all major Minecraft releases from 1.10.2 thru 1.20 (except 1.13.x). Current support status:

1.21.8 - beta development
1.21.1 - active support
1.20.1 - critical fixes only
Anything else: unsupported

Compatibility

This mod has specific integration with:

WAILA
TheOneProbe
JEI (tooltip additions for some crafting recipes)
Patchouli (an in-game guidebook is available when Patchouli is present)

In general, Modular Routers should work fine with any mods using standard Forge (capability-based) or legacy (IInventory/ISidedInventory-based) inventories, which should cover just about everything. Note that legacy IInventory support has been dropped as of v3.0.0 (for MC 1.12).
