Why won't the wrench place a redstone link on my pipe?

The wrench won't place a link if there's already a block or redstone link two blocks below the pipe. Clear the space underneath and try again, or check that you have redstone links in your inventory.

Can I use the tuning wrench in survival mode?

Yes, the wrench is fully compatible with survival mode and takes redstone links directly from your inventory when you use it.

Does the wrench work with all Sound of Steam pipes?

The wrench is designed for Sound of Steam pipe organs and should work with standard pipes. If you're having issues with a specific pipe type, verify it's a valid Sound of Steam block.

What happens if I use the wrench on a pipe that already has a redstone link below it?

The wrench will not place a new link due to the safe placement feature. You'll need to remove the existing link first or use a different pipe.

Can I change the tuning mode after placing a redstone link?

You can switch modes at any time with Alt + scroll, but you'll need to remove and re-place the redstone link on a pipe to apply a different tuning mode to it.

Is the tuning wrench required to use Sound of Steam pipes?

No, you can still manually place and configure redstone links without the wrench, but the tuning wrench saves significant time when building large or complex pipe organs.

tuning wrench?

The

tuning wrench is crafted using materials from the Create mod. Once you have it in your inventory, you can start tuning Sound of Steam pipes immediately—no special setup required.

What do I need in my inventory to use the wrench?

You need redstone links in your inventory. The wrench pulls them automatically when you right-click a pipe, so make sure you have enough links before starting a large organ build.

How do I switch between tuning modes?

Hold Alt and scroll your mouse wheel while holding the wrench to cycle through the available modes. The wrench tooltip will show you which mode is currently active.

What's the difference between Traditional Mode and Pitch Match Mode?

Traditional Mode sets up keyboard relay frequencies, which works like real pipe organs and is best for manual playing. Pitch Match Mode matches the exact frequency of each pipe, which is optimized for MIDI playback.
