Liquid Honey
Summary
Liquid Honey is apiary honey made a fluid of the mod: you pour it with a bucket, pump it with a pump, run it through pipes and keep it in tanks. It is the first fluid of the apiary chain: bottling, blocks and drinks are made from it later on.
Honey is the thickest fluid in the mod. A pool spreads slowly, like lava, and not far, and whatever wades into it is held as in a cobweb: walking is four times slower than on dry ground, sinking is slow, and a jump at the rim gets you out.
Mini-example: honey runs from a machine through a pipe into a tank. A spilled bucket makes a thick amber pool three cells wide — you will not run across it, but you cannot drown in it either.
Block Properties
| What | Value |
|---|---|
| Physics | spreads slowly (a step every 30 ticks, like lava), 3 cells far; does not burn, does not drown, no fall damage |
| Immersion | holds you like a cobweb: a four times slower walk, a slow sink and rise; a jump at the rim pulls you out |
| Under the surface | a dense amber film, fog from 1 to 6 blocks |
| Replenishes | no — two sources do not breed a third |
| Collection | a bucket, a vacuum capsule, a pump |
| Tag | c:honey (source + flowing) — other mods' honey is accepted, ours goes to them |
Parameters
| What | Volume |
|---|---|
| Bucket | 1000 mB |
| Honey block | 1000 mB |
| Honey bottle | 250 mB — four bottles make a block or a bucket |
The mod uses one bottle measure on both loaders: 250 mB, as NeoForge and Create do. Fabric counts a bottle as a third of a bucket, but the mod's machines convert a bottle only by their own figure, so the round trip "bottles → block → bucket → bottles" neither adds honey nor loses any.
Obtaining
- The Honey Centrifuge spins liquid honey out of a honeycomb (100 mB), a honeycomb block (400 mB), a honey bottle (250 mB and the empty bottle) and a honey block (1000 mB).
- Honey from other mods tagged
c:honeyis accepted by the mod's tanks and pipes as it is.
Uses
- It is kept in tanks, carried by bucket and vacuum capsule, and runs through pipes set with a wrench.
- Filling into bottles and blocks is the next machine of the apiary (in development).
- Honey is not a fuel: it is not in
c:combustion_fuels, and no generator accepts it.
