Minecraft Automation

This mod is not at its final version. It will receive frequent updates. Be careful, anything is subject to change in later updates.

Minecraft Automation adds blocks and items that help with automation in Minecraft. It could be useful for people that want to build factories or automate certain tasks.

• Item pipes

Item pipes are used to transport items from a container to another. It needs to be connected to the output of an item pump to receive items and create a flow. At intersection the flow will be split in half.
There is one item pipe for every material : wooden, copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite. The latter is the most powerful.
Each item pipe has 3 stats :

• Max pressure (10pu -> 10 pressure units) : the maximum pressure that the pipe can handle, if the item pipes pressure reaches 0pu, it'll stop working;
• Items per transfer : the number of items per transfer;
• Transfer cooldown : how much time the pipe takes to transfer.

Exemple :

Spoiler

In this contraption, the items are going from the rightmost chest to the leftmost one.
⚠️ Mind the item pump that is used to "pull" the items from the rightmost chest.

In this other contraption, the items from the rightmost chest are split in half between the two leftmost chests.

• Item pumps

Item pumps are used to pull items from their input to their output. They are used to pressurize the item pipes.
Item pumps have three stats :

• Induced pressure : the amount of pressure that will be passed to the item pipes;
• Items per transfer : the number of items per transfer;
• Transfer cooldown : how much time the pipe takes to transfer.

Exemple :

Spoiler

In this contraption, the pump is pulling items from the bottom chest, pushing them into the item pipe (the item pump can work without item pipes). The items then end up in the upper chest.
⚠️ Mind the arrow that indicates flow direction.

• Fluid pipes

Fluid pipes behave like the item pipes, except that they transport fluid instead of items. It needs to pump from a fluid source to work (is subject to change). Fluid is also split evenly at intersections.
Each fluid pipe has 4 stats :

• Max pressure : the maximum pressure that the pipe can handle, if the item pipes pressure reaches 0pu, it'll stop working;
• mB per transfer (mB -> Milli-buckets : 1000mB = one bucket): the amount of fluid that is transfered;
• Fluid capacity : the amount of fluid that the pipe can store;
• Transfer cooldown : how much time the pipe takes to transfer.

Spoiler

In this contraption, the fluid pump is pumping fluid from the small lake into pipes that are connected to a fluid tank.

• Fluid pumps

The fluid pump is used to pump fluids either from a fluid source (ie: a water source), or from another fluid container (ie: a fluid tank). They pressurize fluid pipes. Each fluid pipe has 4 stats :

• Induced pressure : the amount of pressure that will be passed to the item pipes;
• mB per transfer (mB -> Milli-buckets : 1000mB = one bucket): the amount of fluid that is transfered;
• Fluid capacity : the amount of fluid that the pipe can store;
• Transfer cooldown : how much time the pipe takes to transfer.

Spoiler

In this contraption, the fluid pump is pumping from the water source that is beneath it, then transferring it to the fluid pipe above it.
⚠️ Mind the arrow that indicates fluid flow.

• Fluid tanks

Fluid tanks are used to store fluids.
Each fluid tank only has one stat :

• Fluid capacity : the amount of fluid that is transfered.
