[1.8] Create custom fluid without forge fluid stuff

[MacDue]

I want to know if I can make a custom fluid using the stock minecraft classes and if that would work as right now forges fluid rendering does not work.

I'm not sure, but I think you can create classes that extend BlockDynamicLiquid and BlockStaticLiquid and modify those so that the flowing part works in the updateTick() method.

 

If you look at how lava and water are made, it is simply through this registration:

new BlockDynamicLiquid(Material.water)).setHardness(100.0F).setLightOpacity(3).setUnlocalizedName("water").disableStats());

new BlockDynamicLiquid(Material.lava)).setHardness(100.0F).setLightLevel(1.0F).setUnlocalizedName("lava").disableStats());

 

And of course you can create your own materials if it makes sense.

 

You'll note that the parent class BlockLiquid has a property called LEVEL which is the fluid level within the block from 0 to 15.  You could use that to control the model used to display the liquid.

 

Anyway, I think that could work.
