Set Up Your First Item Pipe Network

Connecting Inventories

Place item pipes between your chests, furnaces, or machines to form a continuous line. Pipes connect automatically when placed adjacent to each other and to inventories. Right-click a pipe with your Pipe Wrench to see which faces are connected.

Adding an Extractor

To pull items from a source inventory, right-click a pipe face connected to that inventory with an Extractor attachment. Open the Extractor GUI to configure:

• Whitelist/Blacklist filters: Specify which items to pull or exclude
• Routing mode: Choose nearest, furthest, random, or round-robin to decide which destination receives items
• Redstone control: Make the extractor activate only when powered or unpowered

Receiving Items

Attach an Inserter to your destination container and set its priority level. Items will route toward high-priority inserters first. If a container fills up, the Inserter bounces items back into the network safely.

Place a Void attachment at the end of your line to destroy any overflow that has nowhere to go.
