Bbl Routers FAQ

19 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get started with Bbl Routers?
Place a Connector against the inventory you want to pull from or push to, then place an Importer or Exporter on it to define the direction of transfer. Link routers together to form a network, and add upgrades to control what moves and how fast.
What's the difference between an Importer and an Exporter?
An Importer pulls items out of the inventory it's attached to and into the router network, while an Exporter pushes items from the network into the attached inventory. You typically need both on a network to move things from one place to another.
How do I connect two inventories that are far apart?
Run a line of Connectors between the two locations to extend the router network, then place an Importer at the source and an Exporter at the destination. For cross-dimension transfer, add a Dimensional Upgrade to the relevant router.
Why isn't my router moving any items?
Check that the Importer and Exporter are both connected to the same network and that the source inventory actually contains items. Also verify your filters aren't excluding everything, and that the destination has room to accept the items.
How do whitelist and blacklist filters work?
A whitelist tells the router to only move the items you specify, while a blacklist tells it to move everything except those items. You set the filter on the router or upgrade that controls the transfer.
What does the Ignore NBT/Components Upgrade do?
It makes the router treat items with different NBT data or components as identical, so enchanted, renamed, or otherwise modified items match the same filter entry. This is useful when you want to move all variants of an item together.
How do I make items distribute evenly across multiple inventories?
Use a Distributor to spread items across several outputs, or add a Round Robin Upgrade so the router cycles through destinations in turn. Both prevent one chest from filling up while others stay empty.
Can I move fluids and energy with the same router network as items?
Yes, but you need the matching upgrade type on the relevant router: Fluid Upgrades for tanks and Energy Upgrades for energy storage. Higher tiers of each upgrade increase the transfer rate.
Why are the Mod Filter and Tag Filter upgrades not working?
Those upgrades are listed as not yet implemented, so they won't function in the current version. Use the standard whitelist/blacklist filter or the Ignore NBT/Components Upgrade as a workaround for now.
Will a large router network cause lag?
Performance depends on how many routers are actively transferring and how often they tick; long chains of Connectors are generally cheap, but many simultaneous high-speed transfers can add up. If you notice lag, reduce the number of active routes or lower Speed Upgrade tiers on busy lines.
What does the Bbl Routers Mod do?
It moves items, fluids, and energy wirelessly between inventories without using cables or pipes. You attach an Importer to the inventory you want to insert into and an Exporter to the one you want to extract from, then link them with a Router Connector.
What Minecraft versions does Bbl Routers support?
It supports Minecraft 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, and 26.1.2.
What items and blocks does Bbl Routers add?
It adds the Importer, Exporter, Router Connector, Distributor (beta), and a range of upgrades including speed, energy, fluid, item, dimensional, round robin, blacklist, ignore NBT/components, and filter upgrades. Some upgrades, like the mod filter and tag filter upgrades, are not yet implemented.
How do I connect an Importer to an Exporter?
Use the Router Connector to link your Importers and Exporters together. The Importer attaches to the inventory you want to insert into, and the Exporter attaches to the inventory you want to extract from.
Can Bbl Routers move fluids and energy?
Yes, it transports items, fluids, and energy wirelessly. Fluid and energy upgrades are available to expand what each block can handle.
Does Bbl Routers support other mods like Mekanism or Ars Nouveau?
Yes, it has integration for Mekanism Gases, Ars Source, and more.
Can I filter what items or fluids get moved?
Yes, Importers and Exporters can be filtered for both item stacks and fluid stacks. Filters support dragging items directly from JEI.
Does Bbl Routers have JEI support?
Yes, you can drag items from the JEI menu directly into your filters.
Is Bbl Routers wireless?
Yes, it is a fully wireless item, fluid, and energy transportation mod. You can connect blocks from far away without placing any pipes or cables.
