Arcane Patternworks

The network has learned the shape of ritual.

Arcane Patternworks connects Applied Energistics 2 autocrafting to the real Thaumcraft 6 Infusion Altar.

It does not replace infusion with a machine or simulated recipe. The Runic Matrix still performs the ritual, consumes real offerings and essentia, and retains its research and instability. The mod simply gives the ME network the hands it was missing.

What it does

- Turns registered infusion recipes into reusable ME patterns while preserving valid ingredient substitutions and dependent crafts.
- Adds a Ritual Pattern Terminal with ME inventory browsing, search, preview and Thaumic JEI *+* transfer.
- Shows required and available essentia without preventing a craft when supplies are missing.
- Conducts the real ritual across one to sixteen unordered side pedestals and returns its result to ME storage.
- Replaces offerings lost to instability when possible, or cancels and resets safely.
- Includes English and Russian localisation, Thaumonomicon documentation, JEI and Thaumic JEI support.

The ritual loop

1. Build a normal infusion altar and place the Matrix Conductor *one to six blocks directly above* its Runic Matrix, connected to a powered ME channel.
2. Add a Ritual Pattern Terminal to the same grid and encode recipes manually or through Thaumic JEI's *+* button.
3. Store the finished patterns in any ordinary *block ME Interface on that grid*.
4. Request the result from a normal ME crafting terminal; AE2 handles dependencies while the Conductor performs the physical ritual.

To display available essentia before crafting, keep a Thaumic Energistics Infusion Provider within twelve blocks of the Matrix.

The research appears in Thaumcraft's standard *Infusion* category and requires no endgame Thaumcraft materials.

Current status

This is an alpha build. The complete encode → dependency planning → arrange → infuse → return loop is functional and has passed a dedicated-server startup test. World backups are still recommended for public alpha testing.
