Item Void Pipe¶
The Item Void Pipe is a Tier 1 mechanical pipe that destroys any items that enter it. Use it for overflow management or disposing of unwanted items.
Recipe¶
Yields: 8× Item Void Pipe
Behavior¶
Item Void Pipes permanently delete items. When an item reaches the center of the pipe, it's destroyed - no drops, no recovery.
Key features: - Deletes items at pipe center - Items visible briefly before deletion (time to react if needed) - No item recovery once deleted - Connects to all pipe types - Prevents item drops from overflowing systems
Deletion Timing¶
Items are deleted when they reach the center of the void pipe. You can see them travel partway into the pipe before disappearing, giving you a brief window to react if items are being voided unintentionally.
Tips¶
- Use for overflow management in storage systems
- Delete unwanted byproducts from automation
- Prevent item drops from full inventories
- Place at end of overflow branches
- Combine with Item Filter Pipes to void specific items
- No recovery possible - use carefully
- More expensive than other basic pipes (requires ender pearl)
Common Patterns¶
Overflow protection:
[Source] → [Item Insertion Pipe] → [Storage]
