Correlated

Correlated was created because Applied Energistics was not available for 1.8, and it shares a release day with Refined Storage. Its network is built from a controller, drives that store items in memory, and a drive bay. Blocks that touch the controller, directly or through other network blocks, join the network. Forge files exist for 1.8.9, 1.10.2 and 1.12.2, with 2.1-final for 1.12.2 as the latest build, published on the beta channel.

The mod adds three wireless methods. Optical basic short-range wireless exposes a connected system that a Wireless Terminal can use. Beacon Lenses placed above lit beacons reflect the system to terminals within range, and they must be combined with an Optical Transceiver to reach another beacon lens. Microwave Beams are paired by right-clicking an item on a placed block, so two systems link over long distances with a clear line of sight. Energy can reach the network through a range of supported systems, among them MJ, RF, FE, EU, Tesla and Neon, and the amount drawn scales with how many components the network contains.

Correlated is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Its author notes that the mod was maintained through 1.12 and grew more ambitious over time, and that a stable release never arrived during that cycle.
