Fluid Skills
by impleri
Fluid Skills lets a modpack author decide, through skill-based restrictions, which fluids players can see, place, pick up or interact with.
What it does
The mod is a library that exposes KubeJS methods for restricting how players see and interact with fluids. Restrictions are built on Player Skills, so a fluid can be hidden, blocked or allowed according to a player's progress. Fluid Skills requires Architectury API and Player Skills, and KubeJS and Roughly Enough Items (REI) are optional. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Scripts can replace common fluids in the world, for example turning overworld water into lava or masking a fluid with air or another fluid. Fluid finitude can also be changed, such as making water finite or lava infinite, and a fluid can be made to act as another, so crude oil can function as lava. Fluid Skills gates how players see and interact with fluids, letting pack authors attach skill requirements to picking up, placing, crafting with or identifying a fluid, and it can hide the matching recipes in JEI and REI. Fluid Skills is built to complement Item Skills, and it is aimed at modpack developers.
Fluid Skills is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.18.2 and 1.19.2 on Fabric and Forge, with the latest file at 1.0.1 for 1.18.2, released 2023-04-21. Public links cover the source code and the issue tracker.
