Hello,

 

I have created a handful of fluids for my mod, and I got to the functionality and physics of a fluid by adding it to the minecraft:fluid/water tag. The issue is, this causes the fluid to work in various machines I do not want it working in, not to mention the water bubbles and other undesired results of tagging it as water. Is there a way to have it physically behave the same as water without any of the side effects of being water internally?

 

Fluid Class

 

Registry

 

Any help would be appreciated. I have tried copying logic from Entity/LivingEntity to no avail.

Maybe don't add it to the water tag?

In that case, removing the fluid from the water (or lava) tag also removes the physics and allows me to walk freely through the fluid. The water tag is the only way I have found to make the fluid act as a disruptor to player movement.

That's because swimming logic is handled by the LivingEntity class, not the block class. And the check it makes is based on the fluid/water tag.

Thank you for pushing me in the right direction. Now I more understand how to manage and utilize fluid tags. Now, one more question, is it proper/typical to tag the fluid under Minecraft, Forge, or my mod's namespace?

Depends on your goal, really.

 

Generally speaking you shouldn't create new tags in Forge or Minecraft namespace domains, but sometimes it is appropriate (e.g. if you're adding copper ingots, then forge:ingots might be the right place, because every modder who is adding copper that also do that is going to be interoperable).

So something along the lines of forge:fluids/oil may be considered appropriate as I would want my oil to be interoperable?
