Interface SidedStorageBlockEntity

public interface SidedStorageBlockEntity
Optional helper class that can be implemented on block entities that wish to provide a sided fluid storage and/or a sided item storage without having to register a provider for each block entity type.

How it works is that fabric registers fallback providers for instances of this interface. This can be used for convenient Storage registration, but please always use the SIDED lookups for queries: 

Storage<FluidVariant> maybeFluidStorage = FluidStorage.SIDED.find(level, pos, direction);
if (maybeFluidStorage != null) {
    // use it
}
Storage<ItemVariant> maybeItemStorage = ItemStorage.SIDED.find(level, pos, direction);
if (maybeItemStorage != null) {
    // use it
}
