AE2 Sophisticated Backpacks FIX
by MagmaIce
AE2 Sophisticated Backpacks FIX patches an Applied Energistics 2 import crash that appears when Import Bus pulls items from Sophisticated Backpacks on Fabric, for 1.19.2.
What it does
The patch is a lightweight mixin on the Redirect StorageImportStrategy path, and it runs only on the server. When an Import Bus reads an external inventory such as a Sophisticated Backpacks backpack, the original code could throw a NullPointerException and stop the server tick. The mod adds a safety check that catches this case, so the server keeps ticking normally. The mod requires Applied Energistics 2 and is published for Fabric only, at version 1.0-SNAPSHOT for 1.19.2.
Key features
Crash prevention on import
A mixin intercepts the internal item check during AE2 item import and stops an empty result from crashing the server.
Import Bus safety gate
A safety gate handles the case where an external inventory reports nothing, so the import process skips it rather than failing.
Normal ticking preserved
When the inventory is empty or invalid the patch lets the process continue without interference, keeping the server tick intact.
