How It Works

  1. Item Input
    • Only hoppers can insert items into the copper grates/pipes.
    • Droppers and dispensers cannot push items into these pipes.
  2. Item Throughput
    • Transfers full stacks at a time (unlike hoppers, which transfer one item at a time).
  3. Visual Transfer
    • Items are visibly moved through the grates.
    • If you break a grate with an item inside, that item will drop.
  4. Splitting Paths
    • If the pipe branches in multiple directions, the system picks one available path and ignores the rest. This means you can have backup branch paths.
    • When items are transported, they will try to store into touching containers unless the grate is waterlogged.
    • If no container has space, the items remain in the grate until space is available.
  5. Item Extraction
    • Place a hopper underneath a copper grate to pull items out of it.
  6. Waterlogged Grates
    • Pipes also work while waterlogged. However items in waterlogged pipes will prioitize transport over depositing.

Use Cases

  • Build compact item transport systems.
  • Control item depositing with waterlogged pipes.
  • No need to worry about copper oxidation states.

Enjoy the Copper Item Pipes Mod for streamlined item transport in your Minecraft world!
