AE2 Item Locator

Stop pulling disks one by one.

In AE2, finding out which disk holds an item is manual work: the terminal shows the item, but not where it is stored, so the only way to know is to pull disks out one at a time. This mod turns that into a single hover — the tooltip reports the drive's coordinates and slot, and one key highlights that drive in the world.

Features

• Drive and slot in the tooltip — coordinates, slot number and cell type for every network item.
• In-world highlight — translucent shell, edge outline and optional beacon beam; the lock survives closing the terminal.
• Slot outline — opening the drive marks the exact slot to pull.
• Subnetwork aware — storage-bus bridges are followed, results from a subnet are labelled.
• Multiblock aware — Neo ECO AE drives draw a link line to their controller, the controller is highlighted too, and the cell is framed inside the controller's GUI.
• Configurable — unified or per-part colours, rainbow cycle per colour, draggable status text.
