MI Utilities
by fmbellomy
MI Utilities is a NeoForge utility mod that adds quality-of-life tweaks for the parts of a modern industrial tech line that players find fiddly.
What it does
Players who build pipe networks can batch-replace cables in one action. The Swap Card, the mod's only added item, upgrades barrels and tanks in place, so the contents and connections stay where they are. A player holds the card in the offhand and picks the block to swap with, whether a tank, a barrel or a cable on the grid.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and is open source. Client and server both need it. Applied Energistics 2 is an optional dependency, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Batch cable replacement
Cables across a pipe network can be replaced in bulk rather than one at a time.
In-place upgrades
The Swap Card upgrades barrels and tanks where they stand, keeping their placement in the network.
Offhand swap item
The Swap Card is held in the offhand, and the player chooses which block to swap with from the grid.

What the author says
Currently, the only item added by the mod is the Swap Card, which is used for upgrading barrels and tanks "in-place", as well as for batch-replacing cables in MI pipe networks. To do either of these things, hold the Swap Card in your offhand and place the thing you would like to swap onto the thing you want to swap…
