What is minetest-mod-pipeworks

minetest-mod-pipeworks is:

This mod uses nodeboxes to supply a complete set of 3D pipes and tubes, along devices that work with them.

Unlike the previous version of this mod, these pipes are rounded, and when placed, they’ll automatically join together as needed. Pipes can go vertically or horizontally, and there are enough nodes defined to allow for all possible connections. Valves and pumps can only be placed horizontally, and will automatically rotate and join with neighboring pipes as objects are added, as well as joining with each other under certain circumstances.

Pipes come in two variants: one type bears one or more dark windows on each pipe, suggesting they’re empty, while the other type bears green-tinted windows, as if full (the two colors should also be easy to select if you want to change them in a paint program). These windows only appear on straight lengths and on certain junctions.
