AE2 Mod ID View Cell

AE2 Mod ID View Cell

Adds a new Applied Energistics 2 View Cell that filters terminal listings by mod ID instead of individual items.

Available for:

• Minecraft 1.12.2 - Forge, AE2 UEL
• Minecraft 1.21.1 - NeoForge, AE2 19.x

If you play big modpacks, this makes it much easier to browse storage by mod, for example only Thermal items, only Mekanism items, only Botania items, etc.

Why

AE2’s normal View Cell is item-based. If you want to hide an entire mod, or only show one mod, you end up adding lots of individual items manually.

It also caps out at 63 items, so larger mods hit the limit quickly and cannot be fully represented unless you use multiple View Cells.

Mod ID View Cell solves this by letting you filter by mod ID, so a single entry can cover an entire mod.

Features

• Mod ID filtering
  • Filter the terminal item list using mod IDs like ae2, mekanism, thermalfoundation, botania, etc.
• Whitelist and Blacklist
  • Whitelist: only show items from the listed mod IDs
  • Blacklist: hide items from the listed mod IDs
• Fast input
  • Paste multiple mod IDs at once, separated by commas, semicolons, or spaces
  • Input is normalized with trim + lowercase
  • Supports the optional @modid format
• Helpful controls
  • Tab completion for installed mod IDs
  • Multi-selection and transfer controls for managing filter lists
  • Tooltip support for viewing saved filters
  • In-game guide support on Minecraft 1.21.1

Minecraft 1.21.1

For Minecraft 1.21.1, open the in-game AE2 GuideME page from the Mod ID View Cell screen using the guide button.

The guide includes the current usage details, controls, and shortcuts for the NeoForge version.

Minecraft 1.12.2 Usage

1. Hold the cell in your hand and Shift + Right Click to open the filter GUI.
2. Type one or more ModIDs into the entry field (examples: appliedenergistics2, mekanism, thermalfoundation).
3. Click Add to Whitelist or Add to Blacklist (or press Enter to add to the active list).
4. Apply changes by clicking Save, pressing Enter with an empty input, or pressing Ctrl + S.
5. Place the cell into any AE2 terminal View Cell slot (ME Terminal, wireless terminal, etc.).

Input tips

You can paste multiple entries like:

• ae2 mekanism thermalfoundation
• ae2, mekanism; thermalfoundation
• @ae2 @mekanism

Mod IDs can differ between Minecraft versions. For example, AE2 is commonly appliedenergistics2 on 1.12.2 and ae2 on modern versions.
