🪠 Create Pipes'n Physics
Roadmap
⚠️ Known Issues There is an issues with the CROWNS mod blocking some of the physics this mod adds. A compat is work in progress
Pipes'n Physics overhauls Create's pipe and pump system with a new physics based engine. Flow is calculated based on the pipe networks structure. Pumps dont have ranges anymore, but supply head to your network and can lift fluid blocks.
Physics
- Pressure and gravity. Fluids in tanks now produce pressure when connected to a pipe. Therefore naturally 2 connected pipes level out in fluid level, and fluid can flow downhill without a pump.
- Pumps act as boosters. Pumps can lift your fluid by a given amount of blocks.
- Viscosity and density of the fluid determine how fast it can flow and how hard it is to lift.
- Siphon physics emerges naturally.
Full sable support
- Custom fluid renderer which always show the fluid parallel to the flow.
- Angle of the vessel determines fluid flow. So a titled tank with an open ended pipe will lose its fluid
- Dynamic weight of fluid tanks. Density of the fluid will affect this. Also center of gravity of your vessel shifts.
- Cross level piping. You can suck in fluids from the overworld into a sublevel, or vise versa.
Better goggles
- Finally figure out how much fluid actually flows through your network.
Other features
- Custom pipe renderer, half full pipes actually show as half full
- Finetunable valves. Adjust exactly how much flow should go through a pipe.
- Everything is configurable. Dont like the new physics, just turn them off.

> For Create 6.0.10 on NeoForge 1.21.1. Existing worlds load fine, but pipe networks behave differently.
## Features
### Fluid lives inside the pipes
- Pipes are no longer instant wires: every pipe block holds real fluid (250 mB by default). Sources drain as the front advances, sinks fill when the column arrives, and nothing is duplicated or lost. Breaking a pipe spills its contents.
- Rendering shows the actual pipe contents: trickles run shallow, pressurized lines pack full, idle runs settle to the tank's waterline. Works on dedicated servers.
- Siphons must be primed once and then keep their prime. Pumps no longer self-prime a dry suction line (enablePumpSelfPriming restores it).
- Two fluids forced together break the pipe, with Create's reaction (water + lava → cobblestone).
- pipeVolumePerCell = 0 restores legacy instant transfers.
### Centrifuge (requires Sable)
- Spinning contraptions fling fluid outward through the plumbing.
- New centrifuge recipes: a fast-spinning tank separates a mixed fluid, products route to radial taps by density.
- Public API
### Gases
- Lighter-than-air fluids flow up through pipes, pool in the highest tank, and equalize correctly between tanks.
- A tank of gas provides lift on a Sable contraption (enableGasBuoyancy).
- Molten fluids flow 3× faster in ultrawarm dimensions (nether for example).
### Valves
- One-way mode: a direction dial turns any fluid valve into a check valve, with in-world direction arrows for goggle/wrench holders.
- The throttle is now cranked by shaft rotation or a Valve Handle; the scroll box is replaced by the direction dial.
### Displays, Ponder, readouts
- Display link sources for pipe flow, pump output, and tank contents.
- Ponder scenes for pump, pipes, valves, and the physics, running the live engine.
- Pour particles at open mouths and into tanks.
- /pipegraph: live overlay, per-pipe flow history, and an engine report for any machine block.
## Bug Fixes
- TFMG: coke ovens serve a different fluid per face; blast stoves no longer crash the server and connect through their real ports.
- Create Propulsion: chained burners fill as one network; a tank stacked on a burner no longer drains into it (thanks @SpyC0der77).
- Create Diesel Generators: distillation tower inputs stay fillable.
- CROWNS: fixed parallel pump transport that silently vanished fluid.
- Broken fluid capabilities from other mods no longer crash the server.
- Pipe and tank waterlines match on screen; gravity drains stop exactly at the pipe opening.
- Basins drain from any level and separate multi-fluid contents completely.
- Fixed oscillations: pipe↔tank ping-pong, gas churn between tanks, horizontal mouths drinking their own spill.
- New pumpDrainAnyLevel option to ignore the connection height when pumping from tanks.
## Performance
- Network layouts are cached between ticks instead of re-scanned every solve (enableNetworkCache).
- Contraption pipe scans on Sable sub-levels are c

- Added mew custom pipe fluid renderer which renders the correct height of a fluid level inside a pipe.
- Added in a way to adjust valves precisely on how much flow they should let through
- Added in stored fluid fronts. This means when your flow is blocked by a full sink for example, and there is again enough room for the fluid to flow it will instantly flow again

# New Physics
# Goggle Improvements
# Bug Fixes
- Fluid viscosity: lava and other thick fluids flow slower through pipes. Lava has ~2.5x more friction than water. Configurable via viscosityScaling (set to 0 to disable)
- Siphon effect: pumps can push fluid over hills. The pump only needs enough power to reach the peak — the descent is free
- Flow splitting: when pipes branch, flow divides proportionally. A junction feeding two tanks splits the flow 50/50 instead of duplicating it
# Goggle Improvements
- Fluid density and viscosity shown in the tooltip (e.g. 3000 kg/m³ · 6000 cP)
- Viscosity penalty displayed when flowing thick fluids (e.g. 2.5x friction)
- All pipes in a straight line now show the same flow rate — no more flickering between different values
- Remaining range decreases as you look further from the source
- Cleaner numbers throughout
# Bug Fixes
- Fixed cauldron drain/fill not working with open-ended pipes
- Fixed flow rate jumping around every few ticks when tanks are draining
- Fixed crash during chunk generation with Sable tank mass
- Fixed pump range arrows not showing past siphon peaks
