SBC FluidCows

SBC_FluidCows 1.0.6

This update is a major rebrand, cleanup, and automation pass for Fluid Cows. The mod has grown from a basic fluid cow system into a more complete pack-friendly feature set with natural spawning, in-game configuration, better capture behavior, cow stalls, pipe extraction, and cleaner JEI/Jade support.

Rebrand and Cleanup

• The mod is now branded as SBC_FluidCows.
• The internal mod id is now sbc_fluidcows, so mod tooltips and JEI show the SBC name correctly.
• Resources, recipes, data paths, generated configs, textures, and deployment have been moved to the new SBC namespace.
• Old namespace leftovers were removed so packs do not carry stale assets from the original version.

Natural Spawning

• Fluid cows now replace a configurable percent of eligible vanilla cow spawns instead of spawning as separate extra herds.
• The old replace percent option has been renamed to the clearer spawn_chance.
• Natural spawns and world-generation herds can be controlled separately.
• Spawn eggs, spawners, commands, captured cows, and other mod placement flows no longer randomly change a cow's fluid type.
• Baby fluid cows can no longer be milked before they grow up.

Configuration

• Added a clearer main_config.toml for global spawning, filtering, cow snatcher behavior, and auto-breeding.
• Legacy main_config.json files are imported once and moved into a legacy backup folder.
• Added dimension, biome, and fluid namespace allow/block lists.
• Added an option to require fluids to have bucket items before they can spawn as cows.
• The F7 config GUI now includes a main config screen and scrollable settings.
• Saving config changes reloads the mod immediately where possible.

Cow Snatcher

• The Cow Snatcher can capture fluid cows while preserving their fluid type.
• Attacking a cow with the snatcher turns it into a cow item and places it in your inventory first.
• If your inventory is full, the captured cow item drops on the ground.
• Right-click capture mode can hold one cow inside the snatcher, then place it back into the world.
• Captured cow cooldowns can be preserved and continue ticking while stored as items.

Cow Stall Automation

• Added the Cow Stall block and item.
• Each stall holds one fluid cow and stores up to 10,000 mB of produced fluid.
• Stalls expose an extract-only fluid capability so pipes can pull fluid out.
• Stalls include a bucket interface for turning empty buckets into filled fluid buckets.
• The stall screen now uses a real container menu, so the player inventory works normally while the UI is open.
• The stall has a clean machine-style GUI with a tank, cooldown bar, cow slot, and side bucket panel.
• The in-world stall model now shows the cow, hay floor, front-facing stall shape, and a visible fluid reservoir.
• Breaking a stall drops the stall and safely returns the stored cow as a cow item.

Breeding and Integration

• Added optional auto-breeding inference for alloy-style recipes.
• The mod can scan loaded item recipes and infer parent cows for generated breeding recipes.
• Manual breeding recipes are protected by default.
• JEI integration shows fluid cow breeding and cow information pages.
• Jade integration shows fluid cow cooldowns and Cow Stall information in-world.

Fixes and Polish

• Hardened invalid fluid handling for spawn eggs, captured cow items, random cow eggs, and enabled fluid lists.
• Fixed baby growth time using the correct per-fluid config value.
• Fixed stacked bucket interaction issues.
• Added custom fluid drip particles using actual fluid textures.
• Improved display names, item rendering, and tooltips for captured cows.
• Cleaned out old debug leftovers and stale code paths from earlier versions.

Useful Commands

• /sbc_fluidcows reload reloads configs.
• /sbc_fluidcows regen generates missing fluid configs.
• /sbc_fluidcows autobreed preview previews inferred breeding recipes.
• /sbc_fluidcows autobreed apply writes inferred breeding recipes.
• /sbc_fluidcows debug spawning explains whether fluid cows can spawn at your current location.
