Barrels! Currently we only have buckets and bowls. Not good enough, we need the ultimate in fluid containment: the barrel.

The normal barrels can only hold one type of fluid at a time, you can't mix milk and water, or any other combination. Each fluid unit acts like a tool, or piece of meat, eg they can't stack in the same slot. The Gold Barrel is different in that it has double the holding slots, like a double trunk, and can have multiple types of fluid, similar to how a trunk can hold any number of different types of goods.
Wood and Gold barrels can't hold lava, only the steel, or diamond barrels can hold lava. All barrels can hold lesser fluids. Diamond barrel also has double capacity.
All barrels can act as a trunk alternative. Only the gold barrel can hold liquid and solid goods at the same time. Putting any liquid or object into a lava filled barrel will destroy the non-lava liquid or object, unless it is fire proof (steel, or better objects), in which case the fireproof object simply will not enter the barrel.
Step two: spigots.

Just the two, wood wood barrel and gold barrel, steel steel barrel and diamond barrel. The spigot barrel, of whatever type, can be turned on and off, with switches or red dust. Oil trap, anyone?
Craft TNT and a barrel should create a TNT barrel.
I actually... like this idea. I assume you'll place this as a block, then use it like a chest. Would you put a bucket in it, and it'd take the liquid while the bucket would remain attached to your cursor (so you could put it back in your inventory)?
I think it'd be neat to have a storage mechanism for liquids that would allow you to keep your buckets to use again.
Yes, barrels would be placed like chests, and currently like chests if you destroy them to move them they'll empty themselves. Potentially quite dangerous. Perhaps a hand truck is needed, it could be used for moving barrels and chests intact.

I was thinking of something like what you describe for extraction and insertion of liquid since the over all idea is really to free up buckets and bowls. I think you described it better than I was thinking it.
Very nice. I too approve. But I agree with theicychameleon. No need to overcomplicate things with a barrel of every material. Keep it simple. But I like, no, love it anyways.
Why would anyone make a steel barrel, if they can make a steel bucket thats 4 steel less, and is equal? I might've read that wrong, but it seems nothing is different from a steel bucket, besides a diamond barrel.
But TNT barrel FTW!!!

You did read that wrong. Barrels would allow you to "dump" liquid from buckets into them. They would hold several times as much liquid as a bucket (although only one kind of liquid at a time), at the cost of being immovable.
The barrel is immoveable?
When i read it, it seemed that the gold and diamond ones were the only difference.
But anyway, i think i get it now, but a question about the diamond one, how would the mechanics on it work? If you can hold two different types, which one would it use first?

Beer is also a great idea. Maybe we could set creeper traps with it. :biggrin.gif:
Glad you love the barrels

Aesthetic suggestion, in addition to current standing barrels:
act as sideways barrels.
