Ranged Pumps The Pump Block
The Ranged Pump is the only block added by this mod. It is crafted from iron ingots and a piston, and it behaves as follows:
- Scans downward from its own position through all blocks until it finds a fluid source block.
- Extracts one bucket of fluid per operation and places it in an internal 8-bucket buffer.
- Outputs the buffered fluid through the game's fluid capability on any face — connect a pipe or tank there to receive it.
- Respects redstone: the pump stops pumping when it receives a redstone signal (logic is inverted; signal = off).
- Empties finite pools: if the source runs out, the pump idles until fluid is placed back.
- Draws from infinite sources (ocean water, lava lakes) indefinitely without depleting them.
