Applied Packaging

Initial alpha release for Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge and Applied Energistics 2 15.4.10.

Added

• Fluix and 16 dye-colored package items with ordered AEKey contents, sparse layouts, canonical identity, capacity accounting, marker support, and stack-safe semantics.
• ME Package Assembler for local encoded patterns and AE2 Pattern Provider pushes.
• ME Packager for packaging and unpacking the connected ME network storage.
• Dedicated package and advanced-processing pattern carriers.
• Advanced Pattern Encoding Terminal with isolated advanced and package pages.
• Package Storage Bus and Package Unpacking Bus AE2 cable parts.
• Sequence Buffer X/Y/Z linear multiblock for ordered machine input.
• Color, marker, content, fuzzy, inverted, blocking, speed, capacity, redstone, and anti-clog controls.
• Optional JEI and EMI transfer with deterministic Create and GTCEu/Star Technology semantics.
• English, Simplified Chinese, and GuideME documentation.
• GameTest coverage for data, transactions, machines, buses, redstone, capabilities, patterns, optional recipe integrations, and sequence buffering.

Changed

• Package contents preserve order and duplicate positions instead of merging like storage inventory.
• ME Package Assembler input uses one generic AEKey inventory; item and fluid views are derived by AE2.
• ME Packager capacity follows one quarter of the matching AE2 storage-component tier.
• Advanced patterns support 81 package columns with 81 sparse positions per column while syncing only a visible window.
• Package Unpacking Bus resolves general targets through AE2's external-storage extension path and uses an atomic position plan for Sequence Buffers.
• JEI and EMI use separate public API frontends and share only viewer-neutral recipe planning.
• User-facing documentation now describes the current network-connected machine behavior and JEI/EMI integrations.

Removed

• Empty-package gameplay paths and recursive package nesting.
• Package Export Bus and the separate Package Pattern Terminal.
• Development-save, old registry, old carrier, and old NBT migration paths.
• Automated client screenshot/smoke runners, mock release fixtures, manifest/bundle generators, and process-history documentation.
• Obsolete PowerShell verification wrappers that duplicated no effective release gate.
