Setup the Resource Pack (Modelled vs Vanilla)
Transport-Pipes offers two different ways to display pipes and items to the players:
- Vanilla Render System: Uses Vanilla Minecraft textures (invisible armorstands). Good for servers that don't want a resource pack.
- Modelled Render System: Uses a custom Resource Pack to render beautiful 3D pipe models. This provides a much better playing experience and significantly reduces the amount of entities in the world, increasing FPS!
Changing your personal Render System
Every player on the server can individually choose which render system they want to see.
- Type
/tpipes settingsin the chat. - This opens the player-specific settings interface.
- Here you can toggle between Vanilla and Modelled Render System for yourself.
Setting it up as an Admin
As a server admin, you dictate how the resource pack is distributed. Open config.yml and look for the resourcepack_mode property. There are three modes you can set:
default: The plugin automatically handles sending the custom Transport-Pipes resource pack prompt to players when they join.server: Use this if you already have your own server/custom resource pack. You will need to download the TransportPipes resourcepack manually, merge it with your own, put the link to your merged pack into yourserver.properties, and let the plugin know by setting this mode toserver.none: Completely disables the modelled rendersystem server-wide. No resourcepack prompt will ever be sent.
