This mod adds Dimensional Liquid Tanks.
Type /FruzstratedsGuide in-game for recipes and info.
Tanks
A dimensional storage; there contents are accessible from any other of the same color.
Storage can be expanded, pump speed increased, and made private.
(NOTE: private does not prevent people from using the tank it only changes the network.)
There are 4096 shared networks and an additional 4096 private networks for each player.
Buckets
Buckets link to tanks and thus are used to store or place liquid remotely.
Shift+Right-Click on a tank with a bucket to link them.
Submit localization files on github.
Do not post bugs in the comments, use the Issue Tracker.
This is a good plugin if you don't like to build 1000km of pipes.
Other than being able to dye the tanks, what are the main differences between EnderTanks and Ender Storage, which also adds an Ender tank?
The general function is the same because I originally made EnderTanks to complement EnderStorages' chests. Later when EnderStorage added tanks they matched their chest style.
But I can't fully answer that question;
I only looked at their tanks when they where first added and haven't use them afterwards so features wouldn't influence my code.
(I stopped using the mod all together when it stopped updating, and I finally caved to the requests for me to add EnderChests to MultiStorage)
Here is what I'm aware of:
Same/Similar:
- 4096 channels per network
- Three channel indicators that can be recolored (mine are bands, theirs are buttons)
- Public network, accessible by anyone, default crafting result
- Personal network, each player gets their own 4096 channels
- Diamond used to upgrade tank to Personal (I believe configurable in both mods)
- Tank corners are blaze rod orange when Public, and diamond blue for Personal
Different:
- Their tanks show the liquid inside, mine require a click or JEI
- Their tanks connect to pipes from all sides, mine is only the top and bottom (tanks are rotatable though)
- Their tanks have an auto eject via turning the dial on the front, mine require a redstone signal and pull from the top and eject from the bottom (pump rate upgrade-able)
EnderTanks Features:
- EnderBuckets (similar to EnderBags but for Tanks) [click in air to see storage info]
- Storage capacity can be upgraded in world via Eyes of Ender and Ender Pearls (starting size, max size, upgrade items, and upgrade value are all configurable)
- Pump rate can be upgraded via a piston (configurable) [1/4 bucket default, 1 bucket per upgrade]
- A third network 'Team', Emerald Upgrade (configurable), green corners, uses FTB teams if available otherwise the Minecraft scoreboard teams
- My non-public tanks are locked to the owner, blocking linking by outsiders (configurable)
[Side Note: My chests are based off of these tanks, thus have similar features]

Thanks!
The bucket doesn't seem to be working right with custom liquids in 1.10.
I'm trying the mod in my skyfactory 3 world, as there isn't a good multiuse bucket and filling big reactors can be annoying.
The tank holds liquefied ender pearls, and vapor of levity, just fine and the buckets pick these up just fine. But the buckets will not place the liquids with shift+rc. They work fine with water. I also tried molten iron from Tinker's, as maybe it was just enderIO fluids, but same deal.
Tanks work just fine, but buckets will not place ANY custom liquids from tanks. Or at least none of the ones I tried. Really sad, cause flying to and from a tank a million times to place some source blocks really sucks.
Crazy question: How exactly does the "Team" upgrade work? I assume it's just an alternative to the individual upgrade, but with an Emerald instead of a Diamond. But how do you 'declare' a team? Are we talking vanilla team functions or is the team's composition of members declared somewhere else?
If you have FTB Utilities it will use the teams from it, otherwise it uses the vanilla team system.
In reply to ShetiPhian:
Too bad it can't output to a Cauldron xD
Edit: Nor does the ender bucket work on a Cauldron too :(
Cauldrons don't store a fluid, just its fill level, so the provided fluid methods don't work on them.
I've made changes in this test build to enable filling and draining.
Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/file/p1gppqeivpir8zu/endertanks-1.12.0-1.6.5-TESTER.jar
Note:
You can only fully fill an empty Cauldron, and fully drain a full one.
This is due to a bucket being worth 1000 and Cauldrons only having 3 levels causing them not to divide evenly.
Hello ShetiPhian, a quick question... how to apply the upgrades? (The piston one), the online manual mentioned them but not how to install/apply/whatever... :-)
Never mind! I got it (right clicking with the piston!) Thank you for your fine work!
The EnderTanks are not working one my server
they don't connect to the other endertanks
I just ran a few local tests.
Please verify the three bands are the same color and order as your other tank. (they can be rotated so one might be inverted)
The owner also must be the same,
- gold corners have no owner and will link to others with gold corners
- diamond corners are owned by a player and will only link to that players tanks
- emerald corners are team owned and will only link to tanks owned by that team
Right clicking the tank will display info including the owner
Try linking an EnderBucket to the tank (shift right click the tank with the bucket)
Tanks and buckets assess the same server side database, as long as owner and code are the same, they access the same inventory.
In reply to ShetiPhian:
If it is possible, I would like to suggest making it so you can use the bucket in crafting recipes. Such as a bucket connected to a tank with water in it will work in recipes that require a water bucket (Ex. Vault Concrete from Multi-Storage). I'm not sure how far I'm stretching but I think it would be amazing if it could be done!
The basic recipe system doesn't support doing that.
If custom recipes are able to access item capabilities, by checking for the fluid capability it would likely be possible, but every recipe that uses a fluid would need to be custom made.
You should make your mod throw a sensible error, if your core is missing/outdated. I spent the better part of an hour tracking down java exceptions that occurred when the server started loading the world. It wasn't until I decided to redownload the mod, that I saw that it depends on "shetiphiancore" (and mine was outdated). You could say that I was dumb not to check closely for potential depedencies, but a clear error message stating that it was missing an up-to-date version of your core would have made things a lot easier.
I think forge might even have support for a dependency management.
Not my bug, but I would like to know who is causing it.
I already define the dependency in the @Mod section.
My run time test profile contains all my mods plus JEI, TiC, EnderIO, Quark, and their supporting mods. (and others if I testing out a compatibility feature)
Removing my core or using an out of date one results in the Forge dependency error screen.
About a month ago I did notice some mod in Infinity Lite breaks Forges error screen. (at least for my stuff, I didn't check other dependencies)
This was found while I was checking out a bug in MultiStorage.
I didn't update ShetiPhianCore and the error screen wasn't shown.
EDIT:
Just ran a few quick tests and Infinity Lite failing to report a dependency error screen requires two or more mods to have the same dependency but with different minimum version requirements.
As long as the lowest version is present no error appears.
This is not how it works normally. By default Forge checks all dependencies, making the highest version the requirement.
Thanks for looking into it despite not being your bug.
I can't remove tanks with diamond but can remove default tanks.
Any solution?
