Fluid Skills

Fluid Skills

A library mod to control how players see and interact with fluids using skill-based rectrictions created in KubeJS
scripts. This is similar to Ore Stages, but it targets fluids instead of blocks and interacts with JEI/REI for hiding
recipes that use fluids, complementing Item Skills.

Concepts

This mod leans extensively on Player Skills by creating and consuming the Skill-based Restrictions. Out of the box, this
mod can restrict whether a fluid can be removed from the world, crafted, visible in JEI or REI, and whether it can
be identified in a tooltip. It also provides a way to mask fluids in world by replacing them with either air or another
fluid (e.g. make all crude oil appear and function as lava). Lastly, this mod also provides a way to manipulate
fluid finitiude (e.g. make water finite or make lava infinite).

Caveats

1. Adding a replacement restriction on common fluids (i.e. turning water in the Overworld into lava or similarly with lava in the Nether) can cause a lot of lag in Forge on skills change which could kill single player instances without enough memory.
2. We can only prevent _picking up_ a fluid with unbucketable because we are not guaranteed access to know what’s in the bucket and whether it contains anything without sacrificing working with bucket-like items from mods. To prevent _placing_ a fluid, use Item Skills restrictions on the bucket item.
3. To see _replacements_ in world, Block Skills must be installed.
4. JEI integration does not remove recipes related to the unconsumable flag. It does hide the recipes from right-clicking on the ingredient. However, it does not remove the recipe itself — only unproducible does that. That is, a crafty player could view a recipe that produces the item, then right click on the produced item to see what recipes with which it can be consumed.
