 +==== Second example: move exactly one bucket of lava from a storage to another storage ====
 +<code java>
 +import static net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.fluid.FluidConstants.BUCKET; // a bit shorter to type :)
 +
 +Storage<FluidVariant> source, destination;
 +FluidVariant lava = FluidVariant.of(Fluids.LAVA);
 +
 +try (Transaction transaction = Transaction.openOuter()) {
 + if (source.extract(lava, BUCKET, transaction) == BUCKET && destination.insert(lava, BUCKET, transaction) == BUCKET) {
 + transaction.commit();
 + }
 +}
 +</code>
 +Hopefully you understand why this works, and why this will never duplicate or void fluid.
 +
 +==== A more complicated example: Extracting the contents of a storage ====
 +In the previous example, we knew that we wanted to move water or lava. But what if we don't know what to extract? The answer is: iterate over the contents!
 +This example also introduces the concept of nested transactions.
 +<code java>
 +Storage<FluidVariant> storage;
 +Predicate<FluidVariant> filter = fv -> fv.isOf(Fluids.WATER); // What we want to extract, in this example let's say we want to extract any water, regardless of its NBT tag.
 +long totalExtracted = 0;
 +
 +// Open a transaction, as before.
 +try (Transaction transaction = Transaction.openOuter()) {
 + // Loop over the contents! Each StorageView<T> can contain at most one resource. You can think of a StorageView as an inventory slot.
 + for (StorageView<FluidVariant> view : storage.iterable(transaction)) {
 + if (view.isResourceBlank()) continue; // This means that the view contains no resource, represented by FluidVariant.blank().
 + FluidVariant storedResource = view.getResource(); // Current resource
 + if (!filter.test(storedResource)) continue; // The filter rejected this resource, skip it.
 +
 + // If you want to extract any amount <= view.getAmount(), do this.
 + totalExtracted += view.extract(storedResource, view.getAmount(), transaction);
 +
 + // If you want to extract either the exact amount or nothing, you can use a nested transaction!
 + try (Transaction nestedTransaction = transaction.openNested()) {
 + long amount = view.getAmount(); // The amount will change after the call to extract, so make sure to save it first.
 + long extracted = view.extract(storedResource, amount, nestedTransaction);
 + if (extracted == amount) {
 + totalExtracted += amount;
 + nestedTransaction.commit(); // Validate the nestedTransaction: the outer one will have to committed as well to validate this change.
 + } else {
 + // If we do nothing, the extraction is cancelled immediately when nestedTransaction is closed at the end of the try { ... } block.
 + }
 + }
 + }
 + transaction.commit(); // Don't forget to commit, or all of the extraction will be cancelled!
 +}
 +</code>
 +
 +==== Conclusion ====
 +You should now be able to use ''Storage''s and ''StorageView''s. They can be a bit challenging in the beginning, but once you're used to them they are very easy to work with.
 +
 +You should also have a look at ''StorageUtil'': it already contains functions that perform common transfer operations. In particular, [[https://maven.fabricmc.net/docs/fabric-api-0.41.0+1.17/net/fabricmc/fabric/api/transfer/v1/storage/StorageUtil.html#move(net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.storage.Storage,net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.storage.Storage,java.util.function.Predicate,long,net.fabricmc.fabric.api.transfer.v1.transaction.TransactionContext)|move]] is very useful if you just want to move resources between two storages.
