Ranged Pumps is a simple mod that adds a pump that pumps liquids in a range.

Crafting recipe for a ranged pump

Placement

Place the pump down, and it'll only work without a redstone signal.

If you give the pump a redstone signal, it will stop working until you disable the redstone signal.

By default, the pump requires Forge Energy, but can be configured to not use energy in the config.

The size of the pump's internal tank is 32 buckets by default. You can increase or decrease this in the config.

The pump will stop running if the internal tank is full.

Right click on the pump to know what it is doing and to know if it is running.

Scanning behavior of a ranged pump

It'll start pumping liquids in rectangular spiral shape 1 block under the pump.

The default range is 64 blocks. That'll mean it scan 64 blocks in any direction, nearest-first.

On a vertical (Y) level, it will scan liquids from the pump to bedrock.

The pump will also replace any liquids to stone by default. This can be turned off in the config.

The pump will auto-push liquids to neighboring tanks. You can also get the liquids out with pipes.

The mod doesn't chunkload pumps automatically. You'll need another mod to get this behavior.
