Adds a searchable AE2 network sidebar to container screens while carrying a usable wireless terminal.
Browse ME network items alongside a vanilla crafting screen while carrying a usable AE2 wireless terminal.
Description
Better AE2
Access your ME network from the inventory and container screens you already use. Carry a usable AE2 wireless terminal, open a container, and the searchable storage sidebar is ready to help.
Inspired by Better Beyond Dimensions, with the same convenient sidebar workflow adapted to Applied Energistics 2.
Features
- Searchable network storage: browse items beside your inventory, crafting table, chest, and other supported container screens.
- Quick transfers: withdraw items or deposit held stacks without opening a separate terminal screen.
- Independent Shift-click controls: choose whether player inventory slots and container slots send items into the network.
- One-click deposits: deposit the main inventory or container contents. The inventory action leaves the hotbar alone.
- Terminal protection: wireless terminals are excluded from network deposits, so your access item will not disappear into storage.
- AE2 access rules: only a linked, usable terminal enables the sidebar. AE2's native network, range, access, and power checks still apply.
- Curios support, optional: terminals can stay in the inventory or be worn in a Curios slot. Curios is not required.
- Immediate refresh: picking up the terminal hides the sidebar; putting it back restores it without reopening the UI.
- Vanilla-style interface: familiar recessed slots, searchable items, and configurable sidebar placement and visibility.
- Optional JEI integration: recipe interactions are supported when JEI is present.
Controls
Use the Player and Cont. buttons to toggle Shift-click routing. Put Inv. deposits your main inventory, and Put Cont. deposits the open container.
The container-deposit key defaults to Z. Inventory deposit is unbound by default; assign it in Minecraft's Controls menu.
Client settings are stored in config/better_ae2-settings.json.
