[Feature]: Allow buckets to hold less than 1000 mb.

[CraftyZombie]

Describe the Feature

If a bucket could hold less than 1000 mb of a fluid at once, it would make interacting with modded fluid storage blocks much easier.

Also, if you were to implement this, would you consider supporting 1.20.1 still, or are you only doing 1.20.2 now?

The target of this mod is to add a bucket with the same interactions like a vanilla bucket.

There are multiple questions which come up if a bucket has less than 1000 mb:

• How do you empty/clear such a bucket? Is the content still placeable? (Infinite fluid)
• How do you refill it? With a full fluid source? (fluid loss)
• what happens with a cracked bucket? Is the fluid lost after one interaction or could you interact multiple times with a cracked bucket?
• ...

I think these questions cannot be answered in a user-friendly and easy-to-use way without giving the possibility to generate infinite fluid or loose fluid.

Actually I am working on a 1.20.2/1.20.4 version for Forge and NeoForge. So, the support for 1.20.1 will be dropped soon.

[CraftyZombie]

Yeah, those are all good questions.

1. Contents would not be placeable. Only moved into another fluid container.
2. You'd need to refill it using a fluid container, not a source block.
3. I'd imagine that the bucket would crack after one interaction anyway, as a very hot fluid would break open the bottom of the bucket and it'd be unusable regardless.

I understand why you wouldn't want to add that all though, it probably overcomplicates things in retrospect.

Thanks for your input :) Yes, that would overcomplicate everything. So, I would not add this feature :)
