A liquid tank is used to store and distribute liquids such as milk, experience, rabbit stew, potions, and more. The first slot of the tank is a smart interface for items filling and draining liquids as needed.

By itself, the Liquid Tanks module comes with the [[Liquid Tanks/Standard Liquids|Standard Liquids]] expansion pack, but other expansion packs can add support for different liquids. One example of an expansion pack that adds liquids is [[Liquid Tanks/Potion Liquids|Potion Liquids]] and others can be found [[Liquid Tanks#Expansion Packs|below]].

A liquid tank can store a maximum of 100 buckets of each liquid type or 300 "units" of liquid, one unit being 1/3 of a bucket. For information on types of liquids that can be stored and what counts as "one bucket," visit the individual [[Liquid Tanks#Expansion Packs|expansion pack pages]].  
=== Storing Liquids ===
A liquid tank can store a maximum of 100 buckets of each liquid, but some items will fill up only part of a bucket. Placing a valid item into the first slot of a corresponding tank will fill it with some liquid. Draining the liquid from a tank can be done usually by putting in a empty bucket, bottle, or bowl into a tank. For information on types of liquids that can be stored and what counts as one bucket, visit the individual [[Liquid Tanks#Expansion Packs|expansion pack pages]].  


Along with storing liquids, liquid tanks can interact with blocks and entities around them. For example, a player standing on an experience tank will fill up the tank, reducing their own xp level. A player standing under an experience tank will drain the tank and gain the xp back. For more details on interactions, see the specific pages on the expansion packs.
=== Utility Interactions ===
Along with storing liquids, liquid tanks can interact with blocks and entities around them. For example, a player standing on an experience tank will fill up the tank, reducing their own xp level. A player standing under an experience tank will drain the tank and gain the xp back. For more specific details on interactions, visit the individual [[Liquid Tanks#Expansion Packs|expansion pack pages]].
 
Utility interactions can be disabled by powering the liquid tank with redstone.
