Basic Fluid Hopper
by jship
Basic Fluid Hopper is a hopper that moves fluids instead of items, and it is available for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.19.2 – 1.21.5.
What it does
A fluid hopper takes fluid from the source block directly above it and passes it on to the container or block below. Only fluid sources work this way, so placing the hopper beneath an infinite water source keeps it supplied indefinitely. The block can be combined with fluid storage such as Large Fluid Tanks, which lets a lava dripstone farm feed a tank that holds a large amount of lava.
The hopper interacts with several other blocks. It can draw lava or water out of a cauldron and push fluid back into one, insert lava directly into a furnace that accepts items tagged as fluid fuel, and be placed under a beehive so honey is collected automatically. Facing it toward a dispenser or dropper lets the container fill empty bottles with honey or water, and buckets of supported fluids are dispensed as well. The mod also includes a minecart version. Basic Fluid Hopper requires Architectury API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and it uses Fabric's Fluid Transfer API, so it is compatible with most other mods that use the same API.
Key features
Fluid transfer
The hopper moves fluids from a source above it into a block or container below, the same way a regular hopper moves items.
Infinite source supply
Placed under an infinite water source, the hopper keeps a cauldron or tank topped up with no manual refilling.
Cauldron and furnace interaction
It pulls and pushes fluid to and from water and lava cauldrons, and inserts lava into fuel-tagged furnaces.
Beehive and dispenser support
Under a beehive it collects honey, and facing a dispenser or dropper it fills empty bottles and dispenses supported buckets.

What the author says
The fluid hopper is similar to a hopper, but it moves fluids instead of items. A minecart version is also included. The fluid hopper interacts with a few other blocks to make it far more useful.
