Mek AE2 Infusion
by moyanj
Mek AE2 Infusion is a Forge add-on for 1.20.1 that bridges Mekanism infusion machinery with Applied Energistics 2 networks.
What it does
An Infusion Converter block turns items that Mekanism classes as InfuseTypes into forms the AE2 network can use, so an infusion pipeline can draw from storage cells and crafting jobs instead of hand-fed machines. The block connects to the AE2 network directly, and crafting through Pattern Providers can feed infusion steps automatically.
The add-on needs Mekanism and Applied Energistics 2, and Applied Mekanistics is recommended for fuller AE2 and Mekanism integration. It is built for 1.20.1 only, targets Mekanism 10.4.x and AE2 15.x, and is published for Forge alone. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Infusion Converter screens follow the Mekanism layout, with an energy bar and a progress indicator, and the mod registers an INFUSION CONVERSION recipe catalyst in JEI so players can look up conversions. Speed and energy upgrades are available for the converter.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Modpack builders and server owners who run Mekanism 10.4.x and AE2 15.x together on Forge 1.20.1 and want infusion output available through their AE2 network.
How it compares
AE2 RS Bridge is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, not open source, and it runs client or server with an optional side, so it does not handle infusion conversion. Mekanism: Advanced Core is a Forge 1.20.1 mod that runs on client and server and is released as All rights reserved, so its source is not open. Crazy AE2 Addons is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 on Forge, client and server, so it extends AE2 without the conversion step.
