As of now, there's the NBT for fluids. Is it safe to use the NBT? I mean, will the NBT be carried from mod_A tank, through Buildcraft pipes, then to mod_B tank?

 

Or is it better to just create separate Fluids (with separate IDs)?

 

Need some insight on this. Thank you!

//Loop iterates four times.
for (int i = 0; i < CellarRegistryUtils.getBoozeMeta(appleCider_booze); ++i)
	{
		FluidStack stack = new FluidStack(appleCider_booze.getID(), FluidContainerRegistry.BUCKET_VOLUME);
		Utils.setMeta(stack, i);
		FluidContainerRegistry.registerFluidContainer(stack, new ItemStack(appleCider_bucket, 1, i), FluidContainerRegistry.EMPTY_BUCKET);
	}

(Loops four times to register a bucket with four subitems with fluids that contains the nbt (set by Utils.setMeta(param))

 

Apparently, FluidContainerRegistry doesn't accept NBTs because:

 

Utils.getMeta(FluidContainerRegistry.getFluidForFilledItem(filledC);

 

Will always return 3 no matter what.

 

 

Util functions (pretty fugly ItemStack displayName ripoff):

public static boolean hasMeta(FluidStack fluidstack)
{
	if (fluidstack != null)
	{
		return fluidstack.tag == null ? false : (!fluidstack.tag.hasKey("meta") ? false : true);
	}
	return false;
}

public static int getMeta(FluidStack fluidstack)
{
	int ret = 0;

	if (hasMeta(fluidstack))
	{
		if (fluidstack.tag != null && fluidstack.tag.hasKey("meta"))
		{
			ret = fluidstack.tag.getInteger("meta");
		}
	}

	return ret;
}

public static void setMeta(FluidStack fluidstack, int value)
{
	if (fluidstack.tag == null)
	{
		fluidstack.tag = new NBTTagCompound("tag");
	}

	fluidstack.tag.setInteger("meta", value);
}
