ColonyLink

Connect your MineColonies builders to your AE2 network. Monitor resources, trigger crafting, and automate item delivery — including Domum Ornamentum blocks.

ColonyLink

ColonyLink Bridge between MineColonies builders and your Applied Energistics 2 network.

ColonyLink gives you a single wireless wand to manage all your MineColonies builders directly from your ME network — no more running back and forth between your storage and your build sites.



What it does

v1.4.3 — Domum Pattern Encoder 
 and also Dedicated server stability

🆕 Domum Pattern System
- New Domum Pattern item — encodes any Domum Ornamentum block into an AE2-compatible crafting pattern
- New Cutter tab in the Warehouse Link Terminal — place a Domum block model + a Blank Pattern (AE2), click Encode
- Place Domum Patterns in the Redirector buffer — they are automatically exposed to the AE2 network

- AE2 dispatches crafting jobs and injects results back into ME
- Correct output counts per block type:
- Shingles, Panels, Timber Frames → ×4
- Framed Panes → ×6
- Lights, Fancy Doors, Fancy Trapdoors → ×2
- All others → ×1

🆕 Domum Pattern UX
- Redirector buffer renders Domum Patterns as their target block for easy visual identification
- Shift anywhere → shows target block icon instead of pattern icon
- Shift + Right-click on a Domum Pattern → converts back to a Blank Pattern (AE2)
- Tooltip: item name + output count always visible; variant + materials on Shift
- Clipboard: Domum items now support all statuses — NO_PATTERN / CRAFTABLE / CRAFTING / AVAILABLE (→ Send)

 

 WAREHOUSE LINK TERMINAL

A new AE2 cable part that puts your entire MineColonies Warehouse and ME network side by side in one interface.

                Snap it onto any AE2 cable, insert a Warehouse Link Card, and you get a live dual-panel terminal: your Warehouse on the left, your ME network on the right. Browse both inventories simultaneously, move items between them, and craft — all without leaving the screen.

  • Pick & drop anywhere — pick from Warehouse or ME, drop into the other panel, your inventory, your hotbar, or directly into the crafting grid. Full AE2-style carried cursor, 16 source/destination combinations
  • Integrated crafting grid — full 3×3 vanilla crafting built into the terminal. Shift-click the output to craft the maximum possible amount in one click
  • ME craftables — craftable-only items shown with a blue overlay. Middle-click any of them to open AE2's native CraftAmountMenu
  • Transfers — shift+click or drag to select multiple items, then push the whole selection WH→ME, ME→WH, or straight to inventory with a single button click
  • Search bars — filter both panels independently. Search is preserved when you navigate to AE2's craft screen and come back
  • Smart deduplication — double racks counted correctly, no phantom quantities
  • Works on dedicated servers — fully server-safe
    Warehouse Link Terminal

ColonyLink Clipboard

  • Track missing resources — see exactly what each builder needs, live, with real-time stock levels from AE2
  • Craft on demand — trigger craft jobs for missing items in one click, directly from the resource list
  • Send to builder — push available items from your network directly to the builder's inventory via the Redirector block
  • Multi-builder support — link up to 5 Builder's Huts to a single wand, switch between them with tabs
  • Warehouse integration — scan MineColonies Warehouse racks as a fallback source before pulling from your network
  • Tool upgrade system — automatically substitutes tool requests with the best tier available in your network, respecting MineColonies Work Hut level caps
  • Builder status — see what your builder is doing, and why they're idle (hungry, sick, sleeping, no home, bad weather…)
  • Priority Request — always shows the most urgent item first, with a dedicated Fulfill button
  • Craft feedback — tooltips tell you when an item is craftable but missing its primary ingredients, so you know exactly what's blocking the queue
  • Customizable GUI — adjust colors, opacity, border thickness and scale directly in-game, saved per client



How it works

  1. Link the wand to your AE2 (Wireless Access Point)
  2. Sneak + right-click a Builder's Hut to pair it
  3. Sneak + right-click a Colony Link Redirector (placed adjacent to your network) to link it to that builder
  4. Right-click in the air to open the resource GUI

Requirements

  • NeoForge 21.1.228+
  • MineColonies v1.1.1299+
  • Applied Energistics 2 v19.2.17+ 
  • Domum Ornamentum v1.0.233 — full component breakdown for textured blocks, with live stock status per material

Optional compatibility

  • Flux Networks, Powah, Mekanism, Immersive Engineering — charge the wand wirelessly or via FE chargers
  • Jade — displays wand charge level and linked builder name on hover


Refined Storage 2 support has been dropped starting with this version. ColonyLink v1.2.1 is AE2-only.

If you need RS2 support, the last version with full RS2 integration is v1.1.4.1, available on the releases page. RS2 was fully stable at that point —
complete feature parity with AE2: tool substitution, Domum Ornamentum handling, Priority Request, autocrafting feedback, and dual-network support (AE2 + RS2 simultaneously with separate wands). That version will not receive further updates.
