Minecraftforge: Suggestion- Universial Fluid XP

Created on 18 Feb 2018 · 10Comments · Source: MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge

So, you now have Forge Energy, but a lot of mods (Such As Thermal Foundation and Industrial Forgoing+ Open Blocks+ More I don't know about)

So, what about a universial Liquid XP, it would make mods much more compatible, which is what forge is all about.

However, this is just a suggestion!

I don't actually think this is a good idea, for the record.

Why? (Is it due to the code, or another reason?)

Also, maybe other things could be made universal.

Forge isn't in the business of adding concrete things to the game. RF is a capability. Fluids are capabilities. Those are both systems, not things.

This is a thing and not a system. Anytime you put something like this in Forge, it potentially stifles modder creativity, by making it so that there is a "one true way." And for Fluid XP, there shouldn't necessarily be that.

Ok, I understand. However, why did you add in FE? Just wondering. I do see exactly what you mean though!

Adding stuff like this can quickly get out of hand also.
Where would you draw the line? for each thing you accept it becomes harder to decline something else.

Better off sticking with systems.
[The universal bucket was an exception as it directly supports a system.]

Ok! I compleley understand! Would it be usefule, Yes.
Is it a good idea? No!

Thanks For explaining!

Doesn't sound that useful. There's a common fluid name ("xpjuice") with a commonly agreed ratio (20:1) and that works. Any mod that wants to do something else can do so by using another fluid name with another ratio.

However, milk would be really interesting. ;)
