[1.31] Bucket turtle

Turtles can break and place solid blocks, why not a turtle that can manipulate liquids?
Substitute a bucket for the diamond pick and you get a Bucket turtle.

Like the normal turtle it has 9 inventory slots, but these are liquid tanks instead of item slots. Each tank holds 1 bucket worth of liquid (maybe more?).
Manual manipualtion of inventory is done by clicking the inventory slots with buckets from your own inventory. Right clicking on the turtle with a bucket acts on whatever inventory slot the turtle has selected.
turtle.suck() will take in a liquid source block to inventory, with up and down varities.
turtle.dispense() will place the liquid source block, also with up or down varities.
The other inventory commands do their normal job.
Also have it work on cows.

As long as it can work on arbitrary liquids then mod compatability should be no problem.


With some good sensors you could make firefighter bots, lava dropping mob seekers, or have a swarm drown the whole world (in lava).

turtle.place()

Should work for placing liquids, if there is a filled bucket in the selected slot of the Turtle.

turtle.dig()

Also might work for filling buckets, if there is a empty bucket in the selected slot of the Turtle.

Never mind, but turtle.dig() works for destroying water, doesn't suck it up though.
