i think it would be a great home improvent idea to add plumbing as well as appliances that use it. for example, it could be places in a block similar to redstone. you right click a block with the pipe material in hand and depending on which side you choose a hole will appear in the side of a block showing pipe goes through it.
THE SOURCE-
the source could be a pump stationed under a pool of water connected by redstone to turn it on and fill the pipes with water.
HOW TO GET TO YOUR DESIRED LOCATION-
place pipe connected through a series of bloks untill you get to the point where you want to place an appliance.
APPLIANCE IDEAS- uses for pipe. (from pump to stretch of piped to appliance.)
BATH TUB- You could have a bath tub created and connect the pipes to it. left click the bath to start the water flow and right click to get in.
SINK- in a sink you can wash many things like foods or plates. in this case it would be food unless plates and silverware are added and you can formally sit at a table and eat.
uses could be if you need to wash off ores to get small minerals(not in game yet.)
wash foods to prevent getting sick.(not in game yet.)
other possible uses
use to fill up an area of land to make a pool instead of using buckets to bring water.
drainage to dump unwanted items like if you have to much dirt you can dump like sewage pipe.
message in a bottle?
Remember this is my first suggestion so it may not be the most appealing.
