Description

ME Router

This mod was developed with the help of Anthropic's AI assistant "Claude".

What does this mod do?

An addon mod for Applied Energistics 2 (AE2). Placing an ME Router, Dence ME Router (dense tier), or Mystic ME Router block automatically discovers AE2 grid-connected blocks (drives, interfaces, wireless access points, and more) within a fixed cubic range around it (7 / 11 / 17 blocks respectively) and merges them into a single ME network — without running any physical cable. Note that Router blocks only receive channel supply while they are themselves wired into a network (via cable or another AE2 device); they will not receive channels flowing back from the wireless side.

The mod also adds ME Receiver / Dence ME Receiver, which behave just like AE2's own smart cables, and the ME Router Link Tool item for inspecting and manually adjusting in-range connections (visualizing targets with lasers, linking/unlinking, and highlighting connections that exceed a Router's channel capacity in orange). If Jade is installed, hovering over a Router/Receiver shows its range, channel usage, and ownership info. Japanese localization is included.

Requirements

  • Minecraft: 1.20.1
  • ModLoader: Forge 47.4.6+
  • Dependencies:
    • Applied Energistics 2 (15.4.10+) — required
    • GuideME (20.1.14+) — required
    • Jade (11.13.3+forge or later) — optional (shows range/channel usage in tooltips)
    • JEI (15.57.0.208+) — optional (for recipe lookups)

Installation

  1. Install Forge.
  2. Place the dependency mods above into your mods folder.
  3. Place this mod's jar file into your mods folder.

Known Limitations

  • There is currently no penalty (such as connections dropping) when AE energy supply is insufficient — the mod simply draws as much power as is available.
  • When connections exceed a Router's channel capacity, the excess connections are only highlighted in orange by the Link Tool; existing connections are not automatically dropped.
  • Running a very large number of Routers simultaneously can increase the cost of range scanning.
  • In ad-hoc networks without a controller, a Router is only considered "wired online" when it can reach a power-supplying device.
  • Connecting to a different AE2 controller network via an ME Receiver can trigger AE2's own "controller conflict" state.
  • To take over a target already linked by another Router, you need to use the Link Tool's manual link.
  • In some wiring configurations, a temporary channel shortage can occur until the next automatic rescan.

ME Router

本MODの開発にはAnthropicのAIアシスタント「Claude」を活用しています。

これは何をするMODですか?

Applied Energistics 2(AE2)のアドオンMODです。ME Router / Dence ME Router(高密度) / Mystic ME Router(神秘的)の3種のブロックを設置すると、物理的なケーブルを一切繋がなくても、周囲一定範囲(それぞれ7 / 11 / 17ブロックの立方体)にあるAE2のグリッド対応ブロック(ドライブ、インターフェース、無線アクセスポイントなど)を自動的に見つけ出し、単一のMEネットワークへまとめて統合します。なお、Router自体が有線で(ケーブルや他のAE2機器を介して)ネットワークに接続されているときだけチャンネル供給を受けられ、無線側から逆流するような形での供給は行われません。

あわせて、AE2純正のスマートケーブルと同じ感覚で使える ME Receiver / Dence ME Receiver と、範囲内の接続を確認・調整できる ME Router Link Tool(アイテム)が追加されます。Link Toolは範囲内の対象をレーザーで可視化し、手動でのリンク/解除、Routerの許容量を超えている接続の橙色表示ができます。Jadeを導入していれば、Router/Receiverにカーソルを合わせるだけで範囲・チャンネル使用状況・所有権情報を確認できます。日本語ローカライズにも対応しています。

必要なもの

  • Minecraft: 1.20.1
  • ModLoader: Forge 47.4.6 以上
  • 依存Mod:

導入方法

  1. Forgeを導入する。
  2. 上記の依存Modをmodsフォルダに配置する。
  3. 本MODの jar ファイルをmodsフォルダに配置する。

既知の制限

  • 電力(AEエネルギー)が不足している場合でも、接続が自動的に切れるといったペナルティは今のところありません。
  • Routerが同時に扱えるチャンネル数の上限を超える接続が発生した場合、超過している間はLink Toolのレーザーが橙色で表示されますが、既存の接続が自動的に切られることはありません。
  • 非常に多くのRouterを同時に稼働させると、範囲探索の負荷が高くなることがあります。
  • コントローラーを持たない即席のネットワーク(アドホック網)では、Routerは「電力を供給する側の機器」を経由した場合のみオンライン扱いになります。
  • ME Receiver経由で別のAE2コントローラーネットワークへ接続すると、AE2本来の「コントローラー競合」が発生する場合があります。
  • 他のRouterが既にリンクしている対象を横取りしたい場合は、Link Toolでの手動リンクが必要です。
  • 一部の配線構成では、次回の自動再スキャンまでの間だけ一時的にチャンネル不足が起きることがあります。
