(1.7) How to create a block that interacts with buckets?

[Nitsua_Revaew]

Hello everybody! I'm new to modding, and I have some questions. First of all, how does one create a block that can interact with a bucket? I'm trying to creat a block that when right clicked on with a bucket, it fills the bucket like a water source block. However, i don't want this block to dissapear. Does anybody know how to go about doing this? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

How do I use it?

You can do it in the onBlockActivated in the block class

you just check if there where right clicked with a bucket.

 

you can find a example on pretty much what you are looking for in my mod:

https://github.com/simwir/Creative-supplier/blob/1.7/main/java/simwir/cs/blocks/BlockFluidSupplier.java

or mayby if you're looking for a block that only can fill one type of fluid you might want to look at my other mod:

Thank you, this really helped a lot. However, I have one question. What is performed in the ItemUtils.comsumeItem(heldItem)? I do not have that package.

Ah. I fixed it by replacing it with  new ItemStack(Items.bucket, heldItem.stackSize-1). Thank you!
