Fluid Sieve: Rewoven

A remake of CheaterCode's Fluid Sieve for Minecraft Fabric 1.21+.

Overview

Introduces two new blocks: String Sieve and Dense String Sieve. These can be placed on top of any solid block, or a hopper, and generates items. Unlike the original mod, the sieves are not block entities and depend on random ticks to generate items.

If the block beneath them has an inventory the items are added to it, otherwise they spawn into the world.

Changing Generated Items

All generated items are drawn from loot tables that are of the type fluid_sieve:sieve.

Loot tables for a specific fluid should be added at <fluid namespace>/loot_table/sieve/<sieve_type>/<fluid name>.json within the. For Minecraft's water fluid and the String Sieve, that would look like minecraft/loot_table/sieve/water.json.

Currently this mod can only handle loot for the minecraft:empty and minecraft:water fluids, but work is planned for the future to allow it to work more like the original.

Available Loot Context Parameters

The fluid_sieve:sieve loot context type has the following parameters available to it:

• Block State
  • Allows use of the block_state_property predicate
• Origin: The position of the sieve
  • Allows use of the location_check predicate
• this entity: A random entity within the sieve
  • Allows use of the entity_properties predicate
  • Allows use of the entity_scores predicate

Roadmap

• Allow fluids to flow through the block (Waiting for Towlette to update to 1.21)
• Implement a few more sieve types
