Logistics – Modular Pipes, Routing & Quarries

A modern, BuildCraft-inspired logistics system for Fabric Minecraft.

Logistics brings classic item transportation back to Minecraft — with visible in-pipe movement, modular routing behavior, and automated world interaction through quarries. Inspired by BuildCraft and Logistics Pipes, the mod focuses on clear, physical systems that are easy to understand, fun to design, and powerful to scale.

🚚 Core Features

Authentic Pipe Networks

Thin, connectable pipes form rich logistics systems.

Items visibly travel through pipes (no teleporting)
Clear, readable movement and direction
Automatic connections and clean visuals
Items that cannot be routed are dropped — never silently deleted

Modular Routing Behaviors

Each pipe type plays a distinct role:

Stone Transport Pipes – simple early-game item movement
Copper Transport Pipes – reliable backbone pipes with randomized routing
Gold Acceleration Pipes – speed up item transit when powered by redstone
Extraction Pipes – pull items from inventories (wrench-configurable)
Merger Pipes – force multiple inputs into a selected output
Filter Pipes – per-side configurable filtering
Passthrough Pipes – ignore inventories and only connect to other pipes
Quartz Pipes – overflow and network-control behaviors
Void Pipes – safely destroy unwanted items
Wrench Tool – configure outputs and extraction faces

⛏ Automated Quarries

Logistics includes quarries that physically mine the world using real tools.

Accepts any valid tool placed into the quarry
Fully supports enchantments (Fortune, Silk Touch, Unbreaking, etc.)
Mines actual world blocks (not simulated drops)
Designed for large-area excavation and deep automation builds
Integrates directly into pipe networks for true end-to-end automation

🌿 Copper Weathering & Network Marking

Copper pipes naturally oxidize over time, can be waxed, and can be dyed with marking fluid to visually segment and organize large networks.

Vanilla-style oxidation stages
Waxing to preserve appearance
Marking fluid to color and identify pipe networks

🧩 Mod-Friendly by Design

Built on the Fabric Transfer API
Designed to maximize compatibility with other mods
No required dependencies beyond Fabric & Fabric API
Performance-conscious implementation

🛠 Current Status

Logistics is in active development (0.2.x).

Core systems are stable and actively expanding:

Pipe transport and routing
Modular pipe roles
Quarry-based world mining
Copper weathering and visual network segmentation

Expect ongoing balance passes, polish, and new systems.

🧭 Planned Directions

Advanced routing logic and smarter networks
Request and provider systems
Autocrafting and logistics workflows
Additional harvesting systems (inspired by classic Forestry-style automation)
Fluids and expanded world interaction
Upgrades, control blocks, and monitoring tools
Planned NeoForge support after Minecraft 26

🧠 Why Logistics?

If you enjoy:

Designing visible, understandable automation
Classic modded-Minecraft logistics gameplay
Systems that scale naturally from simple to powerful

Logistics gives you a strong, modern foundation for building real transport and automation networks — from a single chest to full quarry-driven factories.
