EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS)

If you have ever wished for a straightforward way to move items between chests and machines in Minecraft without wrestling with complex redstone or bulky hopper chains, EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS) is the mod you need. True to its name, this Fabric-based add-on delivers pipes and related tools that are genuinely easy to use, yet packed with enough depth to handle everything from basic storage sorting to advanced automation. Whether you are a casual builder or a technical player, EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS) for Minecraft brings a refreshingly intuitive approach to item logistics.

Getting Started with EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS) for Minecraft

The core concept revolves around puller pipes. Place a puller pipe against a chest with its arrow pointing away from the inventory, then connect it to another chest using regular pipes. The puller will automatically extract items and send them down the line. If you branch the pipe network to multiple destination chests, the mod distributes items in a round-robin fashion, filling each container evenly. This simple mechanic alone can replace messy hopper arrays and makes early-game storage rooms a breeze.

Advanced Features That Keep It Simple

Despite its name, EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS) offers a surprising amount of control once you dig deeper. A pipe probe lets you right-click any puller pipe to view a detailed readout of all connected inventories, including their insertion side, priority, distance, and active filters. This diagnostic tool is invaluable for troubleshooting complex networks.

Colored pipes function like regular pipes but only connect to pipes of the same color, uncolored pipes, or inventories. They are perfect for isolating lines in tight spaces. Rigid pipes, on the other hand, only connect to other pipes and never directly to inventories, giving you precise routing control. Dense pipes introduce a priority system: any inventory placed after a dense pipe gets a higher priority, so puller pipes will fill lower-priority inventories completely before moving items to the dense branch. Filtered pipes come in whitelist and blacklist variants and can be configured with the pipe probe to match items by mod, tags, NBT data, and more, offering powerful sorting capabilities without overwhelming complexity.

Puller Pipe Tiers and Speeds

EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS) provides several puller pipe tiers to match your progression. Each tier extracts items at a different rate, measured in items per tick or per second:

• Iron Puller Pipe: 1 item every 12 ticks (1.67 items/second).
• Gold Puller Pipe: 1 item every 6 ticks (3.33 items/second).
• Diamond Puller Pipe: 4 items every tick (80 items/second).
• Ender Puller Pipe: 64 items every 10 ticks (up to 128 items/second, ideal for large stacks of identical items).
• Netherite Puller Pipe: 4 extractions of 16 items per tick (1280 items/second).

Choosing the right puller pipe depends on your needs. The ender variant excels when moving massive quantities of a single item type, while the diamond puller is better for mixed-item systems. The netherite tier is the ultimate upgrade for high-throughput setups.

How to Install EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS)

To get started, you will need a Fabric environment. EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS) requires the Fabric Loader and the Fabric API. First, install Fabric for your Minecraft version (the mod currently supports 1.18.1 and other recent releases). Then, download EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS) from CurseForge or Modrinth, along with the Fabric API if you haven't already. Place both .jar files into your mods folder. If you prefer a hassle-free setup, the foxygame.net launcher includes EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS) in its curated add-on catalog, enabling a one-click install that automatically handles version compatibility and updates. After launching the game, you can start crafting pipes right away.

Crafting Recipes and Visuals

Crafting the components is straightforward. Regular pipes are made from iron ingots and glass, while puller pipes combine a pipe with a hopper and a specific material for each tier. Colored pipes simply require adding any dye to a regular pipe recipe. The mod’s in-game recipe book will guide you, but experimenting with the pipe probe and different configurations is half the fun.

One popular application is an auto smelter. Connect a puller pipe to a chest full of raw ores, route the pipes into a furnace array, and use filtered pipes to extract only smelted products into a final storage chest. With colored and dense pipes, you can even prioritize fuel delivery. The system is visually clean and easy to diagnose thanks to the pipe probe, making troubleshooting a matter of a few right-clicks.

EZ Pipes and Stuff (EZPaS) proves that item transport in Minecraft does not have to be complicated. Its gentle learning curve, combined with genuinely useful advanced features, makes it a standout choice for Fabric players. Whether you are building a simple storage room or a fully automated factory, this mod delivers exactly what it promises: pipes and stuff that are ez to use.
