Create: Pipe Connector

Additions

• Add an immediate ghost preview for the first selected pipe position
• Add progressive route construction that places confirmed pipes one piece at a time
• Add five construction speed presets: Very slow (1 piece/s), Slow (5 pieces/s), Normal (10 pieces/s), Fast (15 pieces/s), and Very fast (20 pieces/s)
• Add an option to disable progressive construction for instant placement
• Synchronize per-player animation preferences with multiplayer servers
• Apply animation setting changes to routes already being constructed
• Add independent settings for the complete outline-free construction preview and the highlighted next-piece preview
• Allow several confirmed routes to animate at the same time

Art Changes

• Add dedicated ghost and anchor render types while preserving the established cyan, yellow, pump, and missing-material colors
• Restore transparent ghost models so rear pipe edges remain visible through the preview
• Improve anchor layering so pipe models and cyan outlines remain visible through the yellow overlay
• Keep preview colors and transparency consistent when routes cross water or other fluid surfaces

Gameplay Changes

• Support Create versions from 6.0.6 up to, but not including, 6.1.0
• Require one copper casing in the inventory without consuming one casing for every encased pipe
• Use regular Create fluid pipes as the only route material for glass styling

Optimizations

• Reorganize routing, geometry, interaction range, materials, sessions, payload handling, and UI code into focused feature packages
• Convert the legacy multiloader workspace into a standard single-module Forge project
• Remove the stale NeoForge module, obsolete loader scaffolding, package metadata, unused code, translations, and project files
• Document mod classes and methods with concise Spanish Javadocs
• Simplify the Gradle tasks used to run and package the Forge build
• Reuse Create and Catnip model buffering through SchematicLevel, ForgeBakedModelBufferer, and SuperByteBuffer
• Cache preview geometry, fluid groups, outline boxes, outline colors, anchor lookups, and visible sections instead of recalculating them every frame
• Reduce temporary allocations and duplicate work while building routes, drawing outlines, updating anchors, and rendering long previews
• Update the README and Forge documentation for the final project structure, Create compatibility, controls, and placement animation settings

Bug Fixes

• Fix Forge production jars not being reobfuscated correctly
• Fix the initial pipe preview not appearing until the route contains at least two positions
• Fix preview pipes becoming opaque, partially invisible, or losing transparency with Embeddium, Oculus, shaders, and other rendering modifications
• Fix hidden cyan pipe outlines inside the yellow anchor overlay
• Fix triangular gaps and malformed faces in the translucent anchor cube
• Fix preview transparency and colors changing after adding or removing anchors
• Fix previews disappearing when the camera and route are on opposite sides of a water or fluid surface
• Fix placed pipes, elbows, pumps, and encased sections not consistently preserving waterlogging
• Fix anchor positions occasionally leaving an empty gap in the placed route
• Fix the all-glass style requesting or consuming separate glass pipe items instead of regular fluid pipes
• Fix missing-material highlighting so glass-styled sections use the available regular pipe count
• Fix placement animation settings not applying reliably after joining, closing the config screen, or changing an active route
• Fix disabling progressive construction not finishing already queued routes immediately
• Fix completed pieces remaining visible in the construction preview after being placed
