Description:
Water Strainer adds the possibility to filter water for common resources.
A strainer catches general items (such as Sand, Gravel, Sticks, Clay, ...) while it's inside water.
They are breakable, but can be build out of different materials to increase their durability.
The idea is to get some common resources while you're busy with something else.
Water height/flow and biome type will influence the efficiency.
Durability, idle time, loot tables and more are customizable.
Water Strainer can also be used for skyblock maps.
How to start:
(1) Craft a strainer base.
(2) Craft any type of strainer.
(3) Place the strainer base inside a pool of water (the base needs water on top).
(4) Put your strainer into the base
The strainer will now filter the water for items. The list of items depends on the strainer type.
Items can be inserted and extracted from the bottom part of the Strainer Base.
Make sure to read about the Efficiency System in the MinecraftForum thread.
Compatibility:
The mod supports Just Enough Items (JEI).
Modpack Policy:
You're allowed to put the mod into any modpack. You are not allowed to sell the mod or contents of the mod (like items).
Ever sense the launcher and Forge update, every time I attempt to run the mod, it crashes with the message "Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot get config value without assigned Config object present"
Did you try the latest version which got uploaded 20 hours ago? Please try that one.

thanks
Might there ever be a texture update to make all textures 16x16? or perhaps an optional pack for that?
I don't think there will be any changes soon, unless someone is re-doing the textures for me.
I had problems with 16x16 strainer textures, because they looked kinda weird. You can't really make a good mesh when the resolution is so low.
But I guess I could swap them out if somebody is willing to remake them.
Hey, I've added a bug report, I'm getting an NPE on launch after installing this mod because I don't have config files for it yet.
love the mod but i find the way of getting bait time consuming and too hard on the landscape. maybe add alternative bait sources, maybe composting bin or other block to slowly accumulate bait.
maybe the block will use plant materials to fuel it.
it could be also other types of baits with alternative way of sourcing it.
Hey. As I mentioned in the latest changelog I'm planning to add a worm bin that generates worms, as well as "worm tea" which can be used as fertilizer. So it's kind of like an upgraded version of Minecraft's 1.14 composter.

oh, i must have missed that, thanks for the info.
It's look like good, interesting mod. I use a similar one, which is Giamo's Fishing net mod. Is that Water Strainer mod can got drops from eater the same, than in Giamo"s Fishing Net mod? I mean fishes, enhanched books, bows and other things? I use the Just A Few Fish and the Biomes O Plenty mod too.
You can customize the loot table and add your own drops (NBT data is not supported atm).
Currently there are two strainer types. One requires no bait and fishes general items such as Sand or Dirt and another one that requires a constant supply of bait to catch fish, junk or treasures.
If you want to have drops from another mod you need to specify them in the loot table.
(The custom loot table is not added in the 1.13 release yet, instead it is hard-coded)
In reply to Rubironi:
Yes, i meant mainly fishes, junks and treasures. So one of these can catch vanilla fishes, treasures without modify the lootables? And ok, so if i want to use from other mods items, should i write the "mod's name:" with the exact item's name? The 1.13 is not for me, i play only 1.11.2 and 1.12.2. But mainly with 1.12.2 last times.
Yes, the default loot table already has vanilla fish, some junk items such as bone/vine/string and enchanted books for treasure. If you want to add items from another mod you'll need to specify the modid, item name, quantity as well as the rarity. When you start the mod for the first time there will be a loottable config in config/waterstrainer folder.

In reply to Rubironi:
Hmm, i see.
I am not sure which mod, but one of my mods changed the hopper to be an iron chests and 5 iron plates, super hard to make
How can I change the recipe to use the wooden hopper instead of the hopper for the strainer base? Even better, how to make a 'cheap strainer base' version that uses the wooden hopper and have less efficiency?
What modpack are you playing?
You might want to check if the mod CraftTweaker is installed and if the recipe change was done there. Usually it's a simple script file which can be edited.
Love the mod, perfect for the pack I'm working on :)
Would it be possible in future versions to add custom biomes in config to support modded biomes eg Biome o Plenty etc?
Roll on 1.13 (and will be .14 before we know it) :D
Would it be possible to add ingame loot table editing? Perhaps a gui to allow importing items. I want to add the silent's gems' jewels into the strainers.
I know it's a bit annoying at the moment, but you'll have to edit the loot table manually with the use of the config file.
As long as the items don't need any NBT data it should work.
