Making mods for Minecraft has for years raised the issue over what unit to use for liquids and gases. The major issue here is the inconsistency of how fluids, like water, is represented in vanilla Minecraft.
The old system used to be that one bucket would be worth 1000 millibuckets, but since then there has been changes to how fluids are represented.
One bucket, which gives you a block of a fluid, now gives you 3 bottles through a cauldron. With the old millibucket system this means that taking a bottle of water out of a tank will give you 333 + 1/3 mb's of water.
Making a new fluid system out of this has been difficult, since you also have to factor in honey blocks costing 4 bottles to make, copper blocks costing 4 ingots, and 1 block of metal being 9 ingots/81 nuggets.
Throwing us a bone here would help. Having a consistent system that does not change too much is desired to make the logistics of this more bearable. An example of such a change helping out would be making honey blocks a shapeless 3 bottle recipe, making it so that it is more consistent with other parts of the game.
Let me know what you think about this.
