Fluid Sorting Gadgets
by LoremV
Fluid Sorting Gadgets adds blocks that sort, split and store fluids on Fabric, including a 1-input, 2-output pipe block and a 27-slot general tank.
What it does
The gadgets route fluids through a single block. A fluid hatch can take a fluid in from above and push the first fluid into a slot below while extracting the other two fluids to the east and west, which covers setups where a hatch has one input and two outputs on one side. The mod was started to solve a problem with Modern Industrialization, where a hatch of this kind could only be reached from one side in a pack.
Fluid Sorting Gadgets also includes an infinite water tank that can supply water in any amount, and a general tank that holds 27 slots of most liquids and works like a chest. Buckets can be stored inside the tank, and the mod pipes can work with them. The block below the sorter accepts combinations of fluids and needs at least three fluid slots. The project is open source under the MIT License, and files exist for Fabric only, across 1.19 – 1.20.6.
Key features

Bucket storage
Buckets can be stored inside the tanks, and the tanks handle them much as they handle stored fluid.
