# Logistics \u2013 Pipes, Routing & Automation
\n*A modern, BuildCraft-inspired logistics system for Fabric Minecraft.*<\/p>\n
Logistics brings classic item transportation back to Minecraft \u2014 with visible in-pipe movement, tiered progression, and deep network automation. 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.<\/p>\n

## Community Screenshots<\/p>\n
Want to be featured? I\u2019m looking for community screenshots to help refresh the Logistics mod pages. If you\u2019ve built something cool with the mod \u2014 pipe networks, quarries, automation setups, survival bases, clean builds, or beautifully cursed spaghetti \u2014 share it in the Discord **#showcase** channel: https:\/\/discord.gg\/94DP3CVNVt<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\ude9a Tier 1: Mechanical Pipes<\/p>\n
Simple, dumb pipes that just move items. No item awareness \u2014 they do their job every time regardless of what’s flowing through them.<\/p>\n
– **Stone Transport Pipe** \u2013 very slow backbone connectivity with random routing
\n– **Copper Transport Pipe** \u2013 standard backbone with random routing
\n– **Item Extractor Pipe** \u2013 pull items from adjacent inventories (wrench-configurable, requires power)
\n– **Item Merger Pipe** \u2013 converge multiple inputs to a single output
\n– **Golden Transport Pipe** \u2013 accelerate item transit when powered by redstone
\n– **Item Passthrough Pipe** \u2013 connects only to pipes; bypasses inventories
\n– **Item Void Pipe** \u2013 delete unwanted items<\/p>\n
## \ud83e\udde0 Tier 2: Smart Pipes<\/p>\n
Item-aware pipes that inspect contents and make routing decisions.<\/p>\n
– **Item Filter Pipe** \u2013 route specific items to specific destinations
\n– **Item Insertion Pipe** \u2013 prefer inventories with available space<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udf10 Tier 3: Network Logistics<\/p>\n
Your inventories become abstract resources. Pipes advertise contents, fulfill requests, and automate crafting across your entire network.<\/p>\n
**Pipes:**
\n– **Basic Logistics Pipe** \u2013 network backbone; accepts and deposits addressed items with optional filtering
\n– **Provider Logistics Pipe** \u2013 connects to adjacent inventories and advertises their contents to the network
\n– **Requester Logistics Pipe** \u2013 request specific items from the network on demand
\n– **Supplier Logistics Pipe** \u2013 keep a target inventory stocked with configured items
\n– **Crafting Logistics Pipe** \u2013 automate crafting recipes fulfilled by the network
\n– **Process Logistics Pipe** \u2013 route in-progress crafting jobs to dedicated machines
\n– **Satellite Logistics Pipe** \u2013 remote output point for routing items to distant destinations
\n– **Chassis Pipes (MkI\u2013MkV)** \u2013 modular pipes with swappable logistics module slots<\/p>\n
**Modules (slot into Chassis Pipes):**
\n– **Provider Module (I\u2013II)** \u2013 advertise adjacent inventory contents at different tiers
\n– **Extractor Module (I\u2013III)** \u2013 pull items from inventories at increasing speeds
\n– **Passive \/ Active Supplier Module** \u2013 push stock to requesters automatically
\n– **Crafter Module (I\u2013III)** \u2013 fulfill crafting requests at increasing speeds
\n– **Quicksort Module** \u2013 route items by type to sorted destinations
\n– **Terminus Module** \u2013 mark a pipe as a terminal endpoint
\n– **Sink \/ Polymorphic \/ Enchantment \/ Mod Sink Module** \u2013 accept overflow with varying match rules<\/p>\n
## \u26a1 Power<\/p>\n
RF energy generation and distribution using the Team Reborn Energy standard.<\/p>\n
– **Redstone Engine** \u2013 simple, safe, steady power; never overheats
\n– **Stirling Engine** \u2013 fuel-powered with heat management; shuts down safely on overheat
\n– **Creative Engine** \u2013 infinite power for testing and creative mode<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udfed Automation<\/p>\n
– **Macerator** \u2013 grind ores, gems, and materials into fine dusts for smelting and crafting
\n– **Kiln** \u2013 RF-powered electric furnace for any vanilla smelting recipe
\n– **Laser Quarry** \u2013 automated 16\u00d716 mining with energy-scaled speed and automatic frame construction<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd27 Tools<\/p>\n
– **Wrench** \u2013 configure pipe connections and machine facing
\n– **Marking Fluid** \u2013 color-code your pipe networks for visual organization<\/p>\n
## Compatibility<\/p>\n
Works with any mod using Fabric’s Transfer API (ItemStorage). JEI integration for recipe viewing.<\/p>\n
Machines that process materials and automate your resource chain.<\/p>\n
– **Macerator** \u2013 grind ores, gems, and materials into fine dusts; doubles ore output and unlocks new crafting ingredients (iron dust, diamond dust, wood pulp, flour, and more)
\n– **Kiln** \u2013 RF-powered electric furnace; smelts any vanilla smelting recipe without fuel
\n– **Laser Quarry** \u2013 automated 16\u00d716 mining with a configurable frame and energy-scaled speed<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd27 Tools<\/p>\n
– **Wrench** \u2013 configure pipes and machines in-world
\n– **Marking Fluid** \u2013 color-code your pipe networks for visual organization<\/p>\n
