AE2 Personal ME System lets a wearable terminal in a Curios slot stand in for the inventory key, opening a wireless ME terminal instead of the vanilla inventory.
What it does
A wearable personal terminal sits in a Curios slot and takes over the inventory key, so pressing it opens the terminal rather than the normal inventory. The terminal can be bound directly to a Wireless Access Point and works at any distance from it, since the range is unlimited. Players reach the network from anywhere without carrying a separate terminal item in the hotbar.
The mod also adds a communication relay block and a virtual crafting block. The crafting block provides recipes drawn from the connected network and executes them instantly, without needing Crafting CPUs. Recipes support item tags, NBT matching and multi-input or multi-output layouts, and the behavior is set through NBT configuration. Applied Energistics 2 and Curios API are required, and FancyMenu is an optional dependency. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1, with 0.2.4 as the latest file from 2026-01-29.
