Hello, I have created a fluid called mercury, and have enabled universal bucket and have done FluidRegistry.addBucketForFluid(ModFluids.FluidMercury.instance);

However, I don't know how to name the filled bucket using the lang file or putting it in the creative tab. Also, I would like to know the way to add a crafting recipe for the filled mercury bucket.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as well as example code for these items.

To add a bucket to your fluid you would call FluidRegistry::addBucketForFluid. As you are doing. Is something not working correctly?

It will be added to a creative tab that all buckets are at(I believe it is the Miscellaneous tab) if you call that method.

Do not name the bucket, name the fuild(Fluid::setUnlocalizedName) and localize that, the bucket will be localized from there. 

Forge uses capabilities to store fluids in the bucket and so will you. Create an itemstack of a bucket, access it's capabilities and add your fluid into it using the capability. After that just return that stack as a result of your recipe.

You can't call client side code from a common class or you will crash the server.

You are adding a bucket twice. Granted it should not matter as bucketFluids is a set and set can't usually contain equal elements within but that is still redundant.

Potion.getPotionById(19)? What is 19? Where is this magical number coming from? Why are you even using Potion::getPotionById? You have the MobEffects class at net.minecraft.init that contains all potion instances.

I will fix the rest of the code, but the reason i'm using 19 is because it's the effect id for poison. Unless this way is any different from using the potion instances from the MobEffects class, I don't think I need to change it for my purposes.

 

Anyway, thanks for the response and tips.

Getting a registry object by ID requires a map lookup every time you do so. Getting an effect from a field requires... getting it from a field. The performance is way better if you use the later.

It also generates a more readable code. Imagine yourself looking at this code 6 months later. Will you remember what this 19 is there for? What if IDs change? You will have to spend time figuring it out and that is not productive.

Alright, I'll change it.

Honestly, I'm not sure where to start here. I have fixed most other things, but i've been stuck here for a while. I'm new to modding, so if you could get me started with this, that would be great.
