Create: Liquid Mineral
by HenryCROSS
Create: Liquid Mineral adds molten-metal fluids to Create through a single JSON config file, so the set of fluids can be changed without writing code.
What it does
Eight molten-metal fluids come with the mod: iron, gold, copper, diamond, fantasy, netherite, zinc and brass. Each has buckets, source and flowing blocks, and a full bucket item in the creative tab. Create pumps and pipes move them, and a fluid can be gated behind one or more other mods that must be installed first.
Fluids are defined in fluids.json. Players and server owners can add a molten fluid, change an existing one or switch one off completely by editing that file. Physics, color, glow, burn behavior and translucent rendering are all set per fluid, and presets for lava and water are included. The file is read at startup, so a restart applies the changes, and the fluid set is otherwise hardcoded in Java.
Procedurally generated animated textures are created for each fluid. A resource pack can replace them with custom PNG files that use .mcmeta animation data. The mod is built for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which allows use, study, modification and redistribution.
