Applied Energistics
Applied Energistics is a Forge mod for 1.4.7 – 1.6.4 that stores items in a network and crafts them on demand, drawing on energy from the world.
What it does
Applied Energistics builds a storage network from connected blocks. Items placed in the network can be reached from any connected point, so a player does not have to visit each chest. The network also includes an automated crafting system that produces items from patterns once the required materials are available. Storage can be combined with other storage mods and vanilla containers, which lets a network draw on existing chests and barrels.
The mod is meant for players who want automation tools that connect with other automation mods. Redstone inputs can alter how the network reacts, and the network can trigger other devices through redstone signals. A wireless terminal gives access to the network without walking to a fixed console, which saves time when collecting or depositing items.
Applied Energistics runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, across five release versions: 1.4.7, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.6.2 and 1.6.4, with rv14-finale3 for 1.6.4 as the latest file. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
