Better P2P
by lasmgratel
Better P2P is a Storage mod for Applied Energistics 2 that adds an advanced tool for managing P2P networks, built as an update to the original BetterP2P.
What it does
The mod adds a tool for Applied Energistics 2 that manages P2P networks, so players can inspect and organize the connections between their P2P tunnels from one place. It is the Storage entry in this catalog, with Utility as a secondary category, and it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Installation needs Applied Energistics 2, Architectury API, Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Kotlin for Forge, with the last two of these depending on the loader in use. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering the game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 across 2 release versions. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The 1.20.1 Fabric and Forge builds are in the catalog at 1.5.0, and the NeoForge build at 1.5.2 is for 1.21.1.
Key features
P2P network management
A tool lets players view and manage the P2P networks that Applied Energistics 2 creates.
Block outline display
Blocks of a P2P network show an outline when the tool is used on them, so the connections are easier to locate.
Ideas from the 1.20 update
Newer features in the 1.20 line build on the earlier BetterP2P work, with credit to the AE2UEL team.

Use cases
Organizing a large AE2 base
Players with many P2P tunnels can use the tool to see how the networks are linked and adjust them.
Running a server
Server owners install the matching loader build, and every player connecting to the server installs it too.
Who it’s for: Players who run Applied Energistics 2 networks with many P2P tunnels, and server owners whose players use Applied Energistics 2. The mod is for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge or NeoForge.
