Simple Copper Pipes Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Advanced Item Transfer and Decorative Pipe Systems

Simple Copper Pipes Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) transforms how you transport items in Minecraft by introducing copper-based pipe systems with both functional and aesthetic uses. These pipes can send items quickly between blocks, shoot them out as projectiles, leak water or smoke, react to redstone, lightning, and even vibrations. Perfect for players who enjoy automation, decoration, or immersive base-building, this mod adds a fresh layer of complexity to logistics without relying on bulky machinery.

You can connect copper pipes to containers like chests or furnaces, fine-tune the flow with fittings, and even manage environmental effects like farmland hydration or smoke dispersion. Customizations like waxing, oxidizing, coloring, and glowing allow you to tailor pipelines to both performance and visual flair. Whether you’re automating a storage system or building a futuristic factory, this mod brings creativity and utility together.

Features:

• Item Transfer Mechanics
  • Copper Pipes can extract from and insert into inventories like chests, barrels, or furnaces.
  • If left facing open air or water, the pipe shoots out items unless blocked (e.g., by a Torch).
  • Works with Dispensers and Droppers, changing shooting distance based on oxidation and type.
  • Redstone power enables the pipes to shoot specific items like arrows or splash potions.
  • Transfer speed varies by pipe type: Waxed (fastest), Colored (medium), Corroded (slowest).
  • Copper Fittings behind pipes override cooldowns and suppress sounds/particles.
  • Items like Ink Sacs or Sculk Sensors will show effects instead of being transferred when fittings are used.
• Smoke & Water Leaks
  • Pipes waterlogged or connected to water can visually “leak” drops for up to 12 blocks.
  • Leaking pipes hydrate farmland or support sugarcane growth even without direct water.
  • Smoke travels similarly via lit campfires and helps automate bee farming.
  • Mobs under a leaking pipe count as “in water,” affecting Endermen or extinguishing flames.
• Oxidation, Waxing, and Lightning Effects
  • Pipes and fittings naturally oxidize over time like copper blocks.
  • Use honeycomb (alt-click or crafting) to wax and stop oxidation.
  • De-wax and revert oxidation with alt-clicking again.
  • Lightning rods can send a charge through pipes to deoxidize them and remove corrosion.
  • Corroded pipes can be dyed and made to glow using Glow Ink Sacs.
• Decorative & Functional Coloring
  • Colored pipes emit colored ink when shooting and remain silent.
  • Glowing colored pipes display the item’s presence visually useful for tracking or decoration.
• Vibration Transmission
  • Open-ended pipes pick up Sculk vibrations or Note Block sounds.
  • Vibrations transmit along the pipeline and can be used in redstone or Warden-based traps.
  • Visual particles appear when a listener entity/block is nearby.
• Other Features
  • Right-clicking with a hoe rotates pipe direction.
  • Pipes create bubbles when underwater.
