ME Trading Terminal 1.0.3 — Initial Release

ME Trading Terminal connects villager trading directly to Applied Energistics 2, allowing villager offers to become unattended network operations and AE2 autocrafting patterns.

Features

T1 — ME Trade Interface

• Houses one villager.
• Supports independent continuous and stock-keeping automation for each offer.
• Automatically draws exact trade inputs from ME storage and returns results to the network.

T2 — Auto Trade Interface

• Exposes multiple villager offers as native AE2 processing patterns.
• Allows villager trades to participate in normal AE2 autocrafting jobs.
• Patterns preserve item components, enchantments, quantities, and configured emerald costs.

T3 — Trading Array

• Houses up to six villagers in independent slots.
• Supports per-offer automation modes, stock targets, and AE2 pattern exposure.
• Uses fair round-robin scheduling across villagers and offers.
• Added an in-world, server-authoritative configuration screen.
• Added the reusable Villager Trade Pattern setup item.
• Added a dedicated Creative Mode tab containing all blocks and items.
• Added profession workstation icons and duplicate-profession numbering to the Trading Array interface.
• Enchanted-book offers display their enchantment names and levels.

Villager Handling

• Added a native, non-stackable Villager Carrier with complete villager persistence.
• Supports safe villager capture, housing, release, and machine-removal evacuation.
• Unemployed villagers and nitwits are rejected without consuming the source item.
• Optional integration with Easy Villagers allows filled villager items to be inserted directly into interfaces and arrays.

Array Link

• Added owner-bound Array Links and reusable Link Cards.
• Provides secure remote access to a same-dimension Trading Array.
• Uses stable target identities to prevent replaced blocks from hijacking existing links.
• Supports configurable, bounded target-chunk loading.
• The linked Trading Array remains the only AE2 crafting provider; links do not duplicate patterns.

Progression and Balance

• Added optional FTB Quests placement gates for T1, T2, and T3.
• Quest requirements can be configured using friendly quest names.
• Quest gating is disabled by default and fails closed when enabled but unresolved.
• Added configurable:
  • Emerald cost multiplier
  • Villager trade cooldown
  • Automated restock interval
  • Machine evaluation interval
  • Denied trade results
  • Denied offer signatures
  • Array Link distance and chunk-loading limits
• Automated Mending trades are denied by default.

Compatibility

• Added optional Almost Unified integration for canonicalized trade outputs.
• Canonicalization preserves stack counts and complete item components.
• Enchanted books are protected from inappropriate material unification.
• Native AE2 processing patterns preview correctly with ExtendedAE 2.2.35.

Reliability and Safety

• Trade results enter durable pending state before delivery to ME storage.
• Added write-ahead transaction journals for T1, T2, and every T3 villager slot.
• Partial network insertion preserves and retries the undelivered remainder.
• Interrupted or ambiguous transactions fail closed and preserve diagnostic evidence.
• Unsafe machines stop automation until an operator inspects and reconciles them.
• Unsafe state cannot be silently reset while unresolved transaction evidence remains.
• Safe machine removal evacuates housed villagers and accepted pending output.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge 21.1.235 or compatible 21.1.x
• Java 21
• Applied Energistics 2 19.2.17
• Install on both the client and server

Optional Integrations

• Easy Villagers 1.21.1-1.1.42
• Almost Unified 1.21.1-1.4.2
• FTB Quests 2101.1.27 or newer
