Really Simple Tanks

This mod adds a tank in which to store fluids. With the Fluid API changes in Forge/Minecraft after 1.13+, I haven’t seen very many tanks, much less ones that worked well in the modpacks I’ve played…so I decided to work on making my own. Currently this mod adds a single block: the Basic Tank. This tank will hold 16 buckets of fluid, which can be inserted or extracted in the GUI via Buckets, or via automation/pipes.

Plans in the near future:

[x] Ability to fill/empty the tank by right clicking with a bucket. (v1.01)

[x] Confirm pipes can fill/extract fluids (or implement that functionality if it isn’t working) –(Tested to work with: Xnet, Floppers, and Refined Storage, but they don’t put buckets in the correct slots.) (v1.0)

[x] Slot validation complete.  External actors (Pipes and such) will only insert/extract into respective/correct input/output slots.  Fixes line above.  (v1.01)

[x] Ability to void excess fluids and empty the tank. (v1.02)

[ ] Multiple versions of the Tank with larger capacities.

[ ] Ability to suck or push fluids into adjacent blocks which support that functionality (other tanks or machines with tanks)

[ ] Better block models which render the tank’s fluid level externally.

As there aren’t many good Fluid “Pipe” mods, the scope of this mod may eventually include a piping system after the core mechanics above are finished.
