[1.8] How to Create a Custom Liquid?

[1Poseidon3]

I have looked all over Google and everywhere else and I could not find a single accurate guide for 1.8 on how to add a custom liquid to the game. They were all in 1.7.10 and I know the way that you add custom items and blocks to the game is WAY different than it used to be so I assume it's similar for liquids as well. Does anyone have a guide they used or something? It seems that everyone but me knows how to make liquids for 1.8. Can someone explain? Thanks!

[Choonster]

Adding the

Fluid

and its

Block

aren't that different in 1.8, except you need to pass

ResourceLocation

s of the fluid's textures to the

Fluid

constructor.

 

The new model system is fairly different, though. You need to use Forge's advanced blockstates format to tell each fluid block to use Forge's fluid model and specify which

Fluid

to use the textures from.

 

I don't have a guide, but I do have examples:

• Fluid

  /

  Block

  instantiation and registration: my mod, Forge
  

• Model registration: my mod, Forge
  
• Blockstates file: my mod, Forge

 

The registration of fluid containers (buckets and tanks) in my

ModFluids

class is currently broken (

FluidContainerRegistry

doesn't support NBT-based fluid containers), so don't use that.

 

Edit: Fixed the formatting.

This is really helpful. Thanks! Can you create all of your liquids in one class like I did with my blocks and items? Example below:

 

 

 

package com.poseidon.example.init;


import com.poseidon.example.*;


import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.client.resources.model.ModelResourceLocation;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;


public class EampleItems {
   
   public static Item example_item;
   
   public static void init()
   {
      example_item= new Item().setUnlocalizedName("example_item").setCreativeTab(ExampleTab.tab);
   }
   
   public static void register()
   {
      GameRegistry.registerItem(example_item, example_item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
   
   public static void registerRenders()
   {
      registerRender(example_item);
   }
   
   public static void registerRender(Item item)
   {
      Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem().getItemModelMesher().register(item, 0, new ModelResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID + ":" + item.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5), "inventory"));
   }
}

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Another quick question: What does the gas stuff mean when creating a liquid?

[Choonster]

This is really helpful. Thanks! Can you create all of your liquids in one class like I did with my blocks and items?

 

Yes, that's what my

ModFluids

class does. You can do model registration in the same class as the fluid creation/registration, but I prefer to register all models in a separate client-only class (

ModModelManager

).

 

 

Another quick question: What does the gas stuff mean when creating a liquid?

 

A

Fluid

can be either a liquid or a gas. Liquids behave like Water/Lava, gases are just liquids that flow upwards instead of downwards.

I put that code in a new file but it's missing some things like FluidNoFlow and things like that. How exactly does this fluid creation work? I don't understand most of this at an initial glance because I am still relatively new to mod creation. Could you please explain how this works (if it isn't too much work for you)?

BlockFluidNoFlow

is my own fluid block class, it's just a fluid that doesn't flow outwards.

BlockFluidClassic

and

BlockFluidFinite

are the fluid block classes provided by Forge. The doc comment on each class briefly explains what it does.

 

ModFluids.createFluid

creates and registers the

Fluid

instance (a singleton like

Block

and

Item

) using the specified fluid name and texture name. The

Fluid

instance defines the physical properties of the fluid like luminosity, density and viscosity (explained in doc comments of the corresponding

Fluid

fields).

 

ModFluids.registerFluidBlock

receives the fluid's

Block

instance as an argument, sets its unlocalised name to the fluid's unlocalised name and registers it. The

Block

instance represents the fluid when it's in the world and actually implements the in-world behaviour corresponding to the

Fluid

's properties (e.g. light level is controlled by the luminosity, flow speed is controlled by the viscosity).

 

My code doesn't handle the

Fluid

already being registered by another mod. If a

Fluid

with the same name as yours (e.g.

steam

) is already registered, you should use that

Fluid

instance and its

Block

instead of creating your own. I know BuildCraft has an example of this (for 1.7.10, but it should be the same in 1..

 

Edit: I wish 8 followed by a ) didn't turn into a smiley.

I don't know what you are talking about [nobbc][/nobbc]

 

Jokes aside: Either check "Don't use smileys" in "Attachments and other options" or disable BBCode temporarily by surrounding the desired passage with

[nobbc][nobbc][/nobbc][/nobbc]

(the creation of this involved that tag ).

 

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that option.

Ok so this helped a lot and I've been following what your code does but I have encountered an issue that's really getting to me. Here's the code it's happening in:

 

 

public class PTFluids {

public static Fluid mercury_fluid_static;
public static BlockFluidClassic mercury_block_static;


public static Fluid fluidNormalGas;
public static BlockFluidClassic blockNormalGas;


public static Set<IFluidBlock> fluidBlocks = new HashSet<IFluidBlock>();


public static void registerFluids() {

	mercury_fluid_static = createFluid("mercury", "pt:blocks/mercury_still", false).setLuminosity(10).setDensity(1600).setViscosity(1);
	mercury_block_static = registerFluidBlock(new BlockFluidClassic(mercury_block_static, new MaterialLiquid(MapColor.grayColor)));


	fluidNormalGas = createFluid("normalgas", "testmod3:blocks/fluid_normalGas", true).setLuminosity(10).setDensity(-1600).setViscosity(100).setGaseous(true);
	blockNormalGas = registerFluidBlock(new BlockFluidClassic(fluidNormalGas, new MaterialLiquid(MapColor.adobeColor)));
}

 

 

For some reason, my custom liquid (mercury) is throwing an error in (new BlockFluidClassic(mercury_block_static, new MaterialLiquid(MapColor.grayColor));

 

 

I don't know why this is happening since it's identical to your original code except for the things needed to change for mine yet it is throwing the error saying the method is undefined. Any ideas why this is happening?

Post the full error and the full class.

Sorry it took me so long. I had a busy weekend.

mercury_block_static = new BlockFluidClassic(mercury_block_static

 

Uh.

 

You're passing the block you haven't yet created to the constructor of said block.  At best you're passing null.

[1Poseidon3]

Didn't this (public static BlockFluidClassic mercury_block_static;) create it?

[Choonster]

Didn't this (public static BlockFluidClassic mercury_block_static;) create it?

 

That simply declares a field and assigns the default value (

null

) to it. At that point, you haven't created a

Block

instance or assigned it to the field.

 

BlockFluidClassic

doesn't have a

(BlockFluidClassic, Material)

constructor anyway, so why are you trying to pass the mercury block to its own constructor?

 

Side note: Use the [nobbc][tt][/nobbc] tag (or the Tt button) for inline code.

Declaration vs. Initialization vs. Assignment.  Basic Java.  Basic programming, really (although various languages will separate things a little farther, such as C* having separate declaration and definitions for functions).

I was trying to do it like that because it's identical to the one below it which is the one you created (which also has no errors in it).

No, my code passes the

Fluid

to the

BlockFluidClassic

constructor. You're trying to pass the

Block

to its own constructor.

OH. That's what I needed the entire time. That's what was causing it. I can't believe I misread that. Thanks!

@Choonster

I don't understand your ModModelManager.java does or where that method that gets the textures is called. Could you please explain how it works so I can implement it into my own mod? I currently use .json files to load all of my textures in. How does it work for liquids?

 

 

EDIT: Also on a side note,

.setCreativeTab();

doesn't appear to work on liquids. Is there another way to do it instead?

[Choonster]

ModModelManager#registerAllModels

is called from

CombinedClientProxy#preInit

(this is only loaded on the client, the dedicated server loads

DedicatedServerProxy

instead), which is in turn called from

TestMod3#preInit

.

 

registerFluidModel

registers the model for a single

IFluidBlock

:

• The call to

  ModelBakery.addVariantName

  without any names prevents any model being loaded for the

  Item

  form of the

  IFluidBlock

  . If you don't call

  ModelBakery.addVariantName

  for an

  Item

  , the model with the same name as the one passed to

  GameRegistry.registerBlock

  /

  registerItem

  will be loaded.
  

• The

  ModelResourceLocation

  defines the location of the fluid's model (

  testmod3:fluid

  with the

  Fluid

  's name as the variant)
  

• The call to

  ModelLoader.setCustomMeshDefinition

  tells Minecraft to always use the model defined by the

  ModelResourceLocation

  for the

  Item

  .

  • MeshDefinitionFix

    is an interface created by diesieben07 that allows a lambda to be used as an

    ItemMeshDefinition

    (this is needed because ForgeGradle doesn't know how to reobfuscate lambdas). If you're not compiling against Java 8, you'd use an anonymous class instead of a lambda.

  [*]The call to

  ModeLoader.setCustomStateMapper

  tells Minecraft to always use the blockstates file and variant defined by the

  ModelResourceLocation

  to get the model for the

  Block

 

The fluid.json blockstates file tells Minecraft to use the

forge:fluid

model for each variant, passing the name of the fluid to render in the custom data.

 

Forge's fluid model acts as both a

Block

and

Item

model, using a 3D model for the

Block

and a 2D model for the

Item

.

 

Block#setCreativeTab

works without issue on fluid blocks, but a

Fluid

isn't a

Block

and thus doesn't have a creative tab.

UPDATE:my bad forge was not updated

OP your code seems to have Fluid fluid = new Fluid(name);

instead of choonster code.

 

 

 

Fluid fluid = new Fluid(name, still, flowing);

in
private static Fluid createFluid(String name, String textureName, boolean hasFlowIcon)

in
Modfluids

 

The constructor Fluid(String, ResourceLocation, ResourceLocation) is undefined

[Choonster]

That constructor was added with the fluid model in Forge 1.8-11.14.3.1464. Make sure you're using that version or a newer one.
