Interface FluidType

All Superinterfaces:

CatalogType, PropertyHolder

@CatalogedBy(value=FluidTypes.class)
public interface FluidType
extends CatalogType, PropertyHolder

The functional equivalent of an ItemType or BlockType, except for fluids. Normally, the gameplay mechanics of fluids are entirely dependent on the implementation of a fluid; however, they are representable as FluidStacks, where a certain amount of a FluidType for a specified volume "exists" within a FluidTankData.

Normally, FluidTankData can be either retrieved from either a BlockState or TileEntity that specifically handles fluids. Depending on the implementation, a fluid stack may be used differently than how vanilla implementations handle them.
