Liquid Tanks Utilities do not run when powered

[Bloo-dev]

Describe the bug
Liquid Tanks do not process utilities when powered. This makes automation really hard as the liquid tank needs to be locked to not forward the item waiting to be filled inside.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Place a witch on a Liquid Tank
2. Power the Liquid Tank
3. Watch the witch NOT fill the tank

Expected behavior
The witch should not care about redstone.

Fix
Remove the [enabled=true] check.

Environment

• Minecraft version: 1.15.2
• Server version: Public Server 6 (1.15.2)

[Bloo-dev]

Here is a workaround. As you can see it's a lot bigger.

I think this is working as intended

[SpecialBuilder32]

This is a feature for enabling/disabling the tank actions, with the unfortunate side effect of also disabling hopper actions. As I think I see in your workaround picture, you can treat the tank as a part of an item filter and lock the hopper below it to achieve the same effect.
I think this is okay, since if you pretend the tank is just like any other container in the game, you would need a second hopper to move items in/out.
Codewise it would also require checking the powered state for each different entity interaction, since you'd still want to disable things like cauldron filling (which is an entity interaction)

Would syncing the Liquid Tank main clock to hopper speed be a feasible compromise?

[SpecialBuilder32]

Wouldn't that not even help? There's no way to align your hoppers with the clock, even if they go at the same rate right? That's the entire reason the you needed the magic lever for the zauber cauldron auto-brewer on PSIII.
