Overview

Ranged Pumps is a streamlined technical mod designed to solve the problem of large-scale fluid collection. Unlike traditional pumps that often leave behind flowing liquid source blocks (causing significant server lag) or have limited reach, the Ranged Pump operates across a massive horizontal and vertical area. It is the only block added by the mod, focusing entirely on providing a reliable, configurable, and performance-friendly way to power your base with lava or gather water for industrial processes.

The mod is highly compatible with energy systems (Forge Energy) and fluid transport mods, making it a staple for players using Refined Storage, Mekanism, or Thermal Expansion. It features a unique scanning algorithm that searches for liquids in a spiral pattern and replaces them with stone blocks to prevent the creation of infinite flowing liquid streams.
