Holy crap, you just summarized what I've been trying to understand via google for the past 2 hours. And it actually makes sense. Thank you! Also, I feel like a complete Idiot now. I JUST had it fixed before reading your post, but I was catching the block and reading the Iicons off it in postInit, then applying them to the fluids. This is 1000x smarter and better. Thanks! Just shows how little I understand Forge atm ._. Thanks for the quick help!

Oh I understand. So they are 2 separate things. I assumed the fluid was simply a reference to the block. However I'm unsure of how I can set the textures inside the fluid class. I've checked a bunch of open source projects and found none of them were doing that. I'm not even sure I understand this whole Iicon thing. Any chance you could point me to an example class?

I'm confused. I thought I was setting the textures here already: @Override public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister register){ stillIcon = register.registerIcon("creepgamingmod:fuel_still"); flowingIcon = register.registerIcon("creepgamingmod:fuel_flow"); } Also the textures work flawlessly except inside TE and EnderIO machines. How would I use setIcons()? Wouldn't I just register the same stuff again? oO I'm really confused why they work just fine outside of those 2 things

Heya, I'm currently making a compatibility mod for our modpack. Now I have the following issue: I have created a fluid, and it's working fine. Buckets included. However when placed inside other mods containers this happens: As you can see, the fuel works in the bucket and when placed, however it shows a lava texture inside Thermal Expansions portable tank. (Mekanism tanks work fine however! ) Also inside the EnderIO VAT: It shows the fluid, but it has no texture (looks like it's empty, even tho it's full) Do I have to include both their api's just to get the fluid working? Or is there something I'm missing.
