[1.16.x][Question]fluid generators

[raziel23x]

I was trying to find some information and documentation about making a lava or water generator like i would do with ItemStack but with Fluids but unable to find much i been following tutorials in making basic items/tools/armor and excited i was able to figure but i started the process but got stuck after getting this far

    private static final DeferredRegister<TileEntityType<?>> TILES = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.TILE_ENTITIES, ProjectSkyblock.MOD_ID);
  
  public static final RegistryObject<Block> LAVA_GENERATOR_BLOCK  = BLOCKS.register("lava_generator_block", LavaGeneratorBlock::new);
   public static final RegistryObject<Item> LAVA_GENERATOR_BLOCK_ITEM = ITEMS.register("lava_generator_block", () -> new BlockItemBaseLavaGenerator(LAVA_GENERATOR_BLOCK.get()));
  public static final RegistryObject<TileEntityType<LavaGeneratorTile>> LAVAGENERATOR_TILE = TILES.register("lava_generator_block", () -> TileEntityType.Builder.create(LavaGeneratorTile::new, LAVA_GENERATOR_BLOCK.get()).build(null));
  public static void init() {
        ITEMS.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());
        BLOCKS.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());
        TILES.register(FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus());

out on my own about a simple cobblegen and though i would try my hand at doing one for water and lava just to see if i can pull it off but cant seem to find much information

 

i am just lost and maybe someone could point me in the right direction

If I remember correctliiy there are some nbt tags about how much an container is filled with fluids.

I wouldn't recommend doing the graphical interface yourself.

I am sure there are some libaries which could handle the graphics for you.

 

If you want to find out which blockdata to add to your block:

Download any mod which adds fluid containers

place one of them in your world 

then read out the blockdata of the block

/blockdata x y z 

x y and z can be retrieved by typing out / blockdata  and then pressing [Tab] for each coordinate whilst looking directly at the block of your destination

 

I hope I could help

I am going to research an fluid interface 

https://gist.github.com/WesCook/c9e282e49580588dd397350283e7e4e1

here is an topic discussion explaining how to do it

here you can find a list of libaries:

I hope I could help...

Dennis out!

Here are some more changes to the code yet i am still not getting it to work even though in theory it should

I updated the OP with the updated code

[raziel23x]

i cant use a bucket on it to get a bucket of lava I have yet to test it with a mod that uses fluid transportation and pulling it to a tank yet

[desht]

Vanilla buckets know nothing about a modded block whose tile entity offers a fluid capability.  You need to code the bucket-filling logic in your block's onBlockActivated() method.  Tip: don't just check for a bucket, check for any item which offers the CapabilityFluidHandler.FLUID_HANDLER_ITEM_CAPABILITY, since that would also allow other mod fluids containers (tanks etc.) to be filled from your block.
