Copper Pipes

To give copper more utilities I think they should add copper pipes, this would fit in the tinkering part of the update and they can even be in the new chambers

-copper pipes would be like hoppers but they only have one inventory slot that can't be seen by the player
-copper pipes would recolect items like hoppers but they cannot collect them from block's storages and they have to be touching the mouth of the pipe in order to be collected
-once collected, the item would transport to the next connected pipe or would be dispensed out,
-copper pipes could only be linear and cannot have intersections
-copper pipes can also redirect proyectiles(including ender pearls): they would collect them one side shoot them in the other side
-copper pipes can also collect and redirect fluids and particles (mainly for decoration)
-copper pipes would be slower than hoppers and depending on their oxidation level they would take more to transport items

copper pipes could help in decoration, simple and advanced redstone, they can even be in the trial chambers to redirect proyectiles from squeletons and the breeze or as a transport device connecting rooms for you to use enderpearls

    What about having them turn? They could be like rails, where they default to facing upwards, but if you place another pipe next to it, it would turn to connect with the next pipe.

    Another posts suggested this and I’d like to add it here. The pipes could release a kind of pressure to move entities, like a pressure system to move entities. Entities can be assigned weights if Mojang wants to go the extra mile.

    These pipes would be from the Create Mod.

    I think pipes should be able to intersect and be faster than hoppers so they can be properly used as an alternative to how hoppers are currently used like pipes. I don't think pipes should dispense their contents unless they're attached to a dispenser. Pipes should just drop their contents like droppers if not attached to anything.

    I think they should be made with iron instead of copper, so they match hoppers. The minerals that are used in redstone machines are mostly redstone, iron, and nether quartz. I believe copper should have its own uses and it would be inconsistent to include it in just any redstone-related block's recipe.
