AE2 EMI Crafting Integration
With this mod installed, items stored in an Applied Energistics 2 terminal can be used for crafting directly from the EMI recipe viewer.
What it does
The mod connects EMI, the recipe and item viewer, to storage terminals. Items held in a network appear in EMI and can be pulled from the network to fill a recipe. Items from every available inventory are considered, including the player's hotbar. Crafting from EMI behaves much like a vanilla crafting table, and the project is described as a re-implementation of an existing plugin for the same purpose. Support for tags prioritizes the item the player holds the most of in the network.
The mod has integrations for both the storage system and AE2WTLib. Applied Energistics 2 and EMI are required dependencies, so both must be installed alongside it. The mod is open source under the MIT License, is published for Fabric and Quilt, and its files target 1.20.1 only. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Public links to the source code and the issue tracker are available.

Use cases
Crafting from a storage network
A player who keeps materials in a storage network can craft from EMI without opening each chest.
Who it’s for: Players who run Applied Energistics 2 storage on Fabric or Quilt and use EMI as their recipe viewer will find the mod's crafting features relevant. Only the client needs it, so it can be added to a modpack without any change on the server.
