A simple mod that adds Crude Oil to world generation. Only appears in sedimentary rock so it can be hard to find. Once you find it though, you can literally say you struck oil.
Why make a mod that adds something without a use? Why for all the OTHER mods that can be made that can use it. That's why this is a stand-alone mod.
The math for a block works out rather well, a single block contains 1000 liters, an oil portion is 1 ml. A bucket holds 10 liters. So no more need to calculate millibuckets :)
Anyone out there wanting to make a pump can use those values to ensure to get the entire volume before swapping the block with air. Liquid blocks currently do not have unique attributes as they don't have a Block Entity so a pump must take all 1000 liters before clearing the block.

This is great!
I have to add support for this to ChemistryLib (and my WIP mod about internal combustion engines)
Good lord. Turns out the code was needed to register the block class after all. So compiled it for 1.18 and this saga of false starts is over for now.
Update 1.3 removes the C# Code part of the mod as it is unused. Was hoping to get it to somehow generate surface 'gysers' of oil but no idea how to get that to work. Anyone with world-gen experience out there willing to help? Code and mod is on Github, check the source link at the top.
Mod is now json only and should be compatable with most future game versions.
Not going for realistic here... it is a game after all. If you wanted real, make your world 30 miles thick (like 53,000 blocks) and make oil spawn about 1700 blocks down from the surface.
Just FYI, oil is very rarely in open reservoirs, but rather trapped in porous rock; considering a fluid can now occupy the same space as a block, I'd suggest making it so oil spawns in something like "porous sandstone" deposits, probably sandwiched between the upper strata and the lower igneous strata, along with bituminous coal seams.
This seems perfect for Electrical Revolution. Thanks for making this.
Now we just need someone to make an oil refining mod, hah.
I wanted to keep it VERY simple. That way other mods can use it however they want without this mod adding any use.
So, has anyone used this for anything yet? Surprised there isn't a single use in the mod, like some sort of Oil Burner for using oil to cook things as a single use default for the mod.
