Liquid Tanks



Are you sick of having to venture back down into your dark, monster-infested mineshaft just to get that lousy bucket of lava? Are your tired of constantly traveling between your home and the sea just to get that bucket of water? Are you fed up of having to leave the safety of your home just to find that damn cow?

Well now you dont have to be!

Liquid Tanks is the first of hopefully many mods i am making. Simple, but very useful, it allows you easy access to all your favorite liquids, without having to leave the safety of your own home. All you have to do is put together some relatively easy to get items, (Recipes below) and you will have your very own Liquid Tank. (With your liquid of choice) You can place this block anywhere you see fit, and whenever you are in need of a certain liquid, just right click whilst holding a bucket on its respective tank. It's as easy as that!

Installation

Spoiler

There are plenty of videos and guides out there explaining how to install and run mods, but i will give you a basic run-down of what you need to do:

1.0.0 & 1.8.1 Installations

Client

Spoiler

1) Before we start, this mod requires Risorgami's ModLoader, like most mods. If you haven't got it, grab it now here.
2) If you haven't already, download the Liquid Tanks mod from the download link above.
3) Find your minecraft.jar. It is located in C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin
4) Open minecraft.jar with your archiver of choice. (I prefer WinRaR)
5) Delete your META-INF folder within the minecraft.jar. No mods will work if it exists.
6) Now Simply drag all of the files from ModLoader and LiquidTanks and drop them into the root directory of your minecraft.jar.
7) Start up minecraft, play and have fun

1.7.3 Installations

Client

Spoiler

1) Before we start, this mod requires Risorgami's ModLoader, like most mods. If you haven't got it, grab it now here.
2) You will also need Flan's unofficial ModloaderMp client. (SDK's isn't up to date) You can get it here.
3) If you haven't already, download the Liquid Tanks mod from the download link above.
4) Find your minecraft.jar. It is located in C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin
5) Open minecraft.jar with your archiver of choice. (I prefer WinRaR)
6) Delete your META-INF folder within the minecraft.jar. No mods will work if it exists.
7) Now Simply drag all of the files from ModLoader, ModloaderMp client and LiquidTanks and drop them into the root directory of your minecraft.jar.
8) Start up minecraft, play and have fun

Server

Spoiler

Follow these steps if you wish to setup Liquid Tanks on your minecraft server. Bukkit is not supported for now but im working on it.
If you are paying for your server to be hosted , you will have to contact your server provider and personally ask for any mods to be put on.

1) You will need Flans unoffical ModloaderMp server from here and the Liquid Tanks server mod from the download section above.
2) Find your minecraft_server.jar. This is the file you use to start your server.
3) Open it in an archiver of your choise.
4) Move all the files from ModloaderMp server and Liquid Tanks server into the minecraft_server.jar.
5) Start your server.
6) If everything has been done correctly, your server will now be hosting Liquid Tanks!

Note: Anybody trying to connect who does not have Liquid Tanks installed on their client will be kicked.

If you are having any trouble doing this, feel free to ask me for help.

[WarwickMarrison]

This looks very, very convenient. for you.

[RAIDwarden]

Pretty good idea, but I'm sure 99% of the people who are going to mod Minecraft will have TMI or some sort of inventory editor anyway

[Turtle143]

Thats a really cool idea! well done! cant wait to see more of your mods in the future!

Indeed. Anyways, cool mod. +1

[dallas_salad]

This is an excellent mod! Well done! It has already come in use so much. I can't imagine not using it now. Keep up the great work, and I'll be expecting more mods from you!

[RoachPG]

Awesome.
But does every tank only hold 6 buckets in total, since you craft it with 6 buckets?
+1 and a for you.

[Nickregis]

Each tank holds an infinite supply of its specific liquid. It is designed to make your minecraft experiance that little bit more easier

You're right, but for example I have only TMI for building materials like stone, bricks, then this is a great mod, good work Mikey

True, but TMI feels kind of cheaty to me, and most people dont use it on their main survival world.
Besides, you cant spawn milk buckets on TMI.

[GameChap]

We found your mod rather useful, old chap! As such we have produced a small videogram.



Toodle-pip,
