EMILink
by Chatterjay
EMILink connects the EMI recipe viewer to Applied Energistics 2 pattern terminals, so a hovered recipe can fill encoding slots for a NeoForge 1.21.1 server.
What it does
EMILink is a server-required mod with an optional client part: the server must run it, while players may leave it out. Its features center on EMI and the AE2 BeyondDimensions integration, adding shortcuts for AE2 pattern work. It requires ExtendedAE Plus and BeyondDimensions to be installed alongside it, and it is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source.
Builds cover 1.21.1 on NeoForge only, with 1.1.13 as the latest file, published 2026-07-16. The mod was first published on 2026-05-09 and last updated on 2026-07-16. The public source code and issue tracker are linked from the project page. Among the 10023 Utility mods with NeoForge files for 1.21.1, it is one of the catalog entries for AE2 tooling.
Key features
Recipe-driven pattern encoding
Press B in a pattern encoding terminal to fill the pattern slots with the items of the EMI hovered recipe.
Bookmark priority
When encoding, items on the EMI bookmark bar and in filter slots are chosen first, controlled by the bookmarkPriority option.
Wireless pattern terminals
Encoding also works on the ExtendedAE wireless pattern terminal.
Written book wrapping
The output item of a written book processing pattern is wrapped during encoding, toggled by enableWrapBook.
Craftable status in the sidebar
The EMI sidebar shows item quantities and whether each item is craftable from the AE network.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners running Applied Energistics 2 with EMI, and players who encode patterns on the AE network. Clients may skip the mod, as only the server requires it.
How it compares
Neo AE2 Toogleable View Cell is NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and runs on client and server; its license is the MIT License. AE2Fix is server-side only, for 1.21 – 1.21.1 on NeoForge, and is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Cobblemon EMI is open source under the MIT License and covers Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, but runs client-side only, so it adds recipe display rather than AE2 pattern encoding.
