Tube Transport System : Reforged

A 1.12.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 port of Tube Transport System by Alz454 (polyrobot). SrNadien ported it to 1.21.1, and the 1.20.1 version is built from that port.

Pneumatic tubes you ride yourself. Build a glass tube network across your base, your mineshaft, or the whole overworld, step in, and ride it to the far end.

Features

• Transport Tube. A directional glass tube. Anything that walks in accelerates along the tube axis until it hits the speed cap, so long runs are fast and short hops are gentle. Players, mobs and animals all travel. Fall damage is cancelled while you are inside, so vertical shafts can be as deep as you like.
• Connected textures. Tubes joining tubes close up into one continuous corridor, and the inner skin stays visible while you ride.
• Tube Station. Two blocks tall and hollow. It is where you get in and out, and it sits flush against the tube above or below it. Standing on a station over an upward tube lifts you into the network.
• Sneak to stop. Place stations in series along a run and sneak to get off at an intermediate one instead of riding to the end.
• Horizontal Tube Station. The sideways variant, two blocks long, for entry and exit on a level run.

Recipes

• Transport Tube (16): stone and glass in a ring around an ender pearl.
• Tube Station (1): a stone ring with a stone slab top and bottom, hollow centre.
• Setting a direction: a shapeless craft cycles a tube stack to the next direction, on 1, 4 or 9 tubes at a time. Cycling past the last direction returns the tubes to their undirected form, which takes its direction from the face you place it on.

Changes from the original

• The undirected tube has its own greyed out item texture so it is not mistaken for a directed one, and its tooltip explains that it faces the side you place it on.
• No walking head bob and no footstep sounds while riding.
• Tubes and stations render in the cutout pass, so they no longer draw over other mods’ sky and cloud geometry.
• Two tubes of different directions meeting no longer z-fight on the shared face.
• The 1.7.10 in game update notifier is not included.
• The held item ghost preview (the faint tube outline shown before placing) was not carried over.
• 1.20.1 and 1.21.1: the selection outline follows the tube and station walls rather than the full cube, and looking through an open tube end still targets whatever is behind it.

Config

• MaxTubeSpeed (default 0.5, range 0.0 to 10.0): the speed cap for anything travelling through a tube. Raise it for long distance networks. High values will outrun chunk loading.
• 1.12.2: config/TubeTransportSystem.cfg.
• 1.20.1: config/tts-common.toml.
• 1.21.1: config/tts-common.toml, or the Config button on the mod list screen.

• 1.12.2: Forge 14.23.5.2860 or newer.
• 1.20.1: Forge 47.4 or newer.
