I help plan ideas for a mod pack and was wondering if its possible to add a config for the gauge dropper on being able to be used on creative chemical/fluid tanks or not.

we have considered just black listing the item but we came to the conclusion its just too useful to blacklist.

In my eyes, this would not make much sense as the creative tank is only obtainable via the creative inventory (unless you added a recipe for it).

• some random modded MC player

But why don't you want it usable on the creative tank? You can just... use any other tank to get from the creative and use the dropper on that...

That is exactly the goal adding a recipe for one but the problem is once someone gets it they can just empty it and add anything else they wanted and that gas would become infinite.

Er, have you actually tried that? The creative tank's contents should never decrease. It is not possible to empty it.

(if it is possible, that's a bug)

yeah tested before coming here

It is actually fully intended to clear the creative tank's/chemical tank's contents, what the gauge dropper doesn't do for creative tanks is decrease their contents when just trying to pickup the contents of the tank. I am not fully against the idea of adding a config option for disabling voiding creative tanks as I can sort of see why a pack dev may want it, though it may be a bit of a headache to implement.

We discussed this some and the plan is for 10.1 to try and make it so that it only can be used to dump the contents of creative tanks when the player is in creative.

that would work perfectly for what we are trying to do
