Will be fixed after the NeoForged capability rework
Oh amazing, was this communicated somewhere and I was just unable to find it?
Yes this should just automatically work in NeoForge 1.20.3+ if it gets merged then. So "unplanned" might not be the right status to close this issue with, but we will have the functionality.
For anyone stumbling across this, there is a second mod which enables the discussed functionality in the meantime to the NeoForge update: Tiled Cauldrons - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/tiled-cauldron.
Stability and Reliability aren't really tested but it works.
Describe the feature
I know this has become an ongoing debate ever since the the fabric version got fluid transfer from cauldrons to import busses, as established by issues like https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/issues/5829. Though, in the light of the Create Mod, whose Forge version Pump blocks ARE able to pull liquids from cauldrons, I wonder if there is a possibility to add this for Buses as well.
Reasons why it should be considered
Quality of Life, General consistency of the Bus blocks as well as consistency between the two fabric and forge versions of the mod.
Additional details
As this will probably be met with a range of "Oh not this topic again" sentiments, I'm opening this issue more as a discussion thread on if it is even possible and, if so, how to get the Create Mod's functionality ported to Applied Energistics.
I'm not at all well versed in the modding scene, in fact, i've never even put a foot in it, but I am not new to programming as a whole. And, in the spirit of open source, I'm quite interested in contributing to the mod by maybe using this as an entry to modding.
