How to Move Fluids With Boat Fluid Blocks
The Fluid Set
Four blocks handle liquids:
- Boat Fluid Tank — stores fluid.
- Boat Fluid Loader — fills the tank from a source.
- Boat Fluid Unloader — empties the tank into a destination.
Setting Up a Transfer
Place a Boat Fluid Tank as your reservoir. Connect a Boat Fluid Loader to the fluid source you want to draw from — it moves liquid into the tank. Connect a Boat Fluid Unloader to the destination — it pushes liquid out of the tank.
For a stationary setup, chain loader → tank → unloader between two points. For a mobile setup, mount the tank on a Modular Boat so the fluid travels with you, and use the loader and unloader at each end of the route.
Automating the Flow
Waterborne redstone conductor carries redstone between the fluid blocks. Waterborne comparator reads tank contents, so you can trigger a loader when the tank is low or a unloader when it is full. This gives you hands-off fluid movement without standing at the tank.
Practical Uses
Use the set to ferry lava, water, or any mod fluid between a remote pump and your base. The Diving Bottle is useful alongside this if your fluid work happens underwater.
