Modern AE2 Additions
Modern AE2 Additions is a Forge and NeoForge add-on for Applied Energistics 2 on Minecraft 1.20.1, bringing in several features from the newer AE2 line along with a few original pieces.
What it does
Ported features from the modern AE2 branch are included, and the author plans to add more over time. Players who want one pattern provider to feed several machines can use the Pattern P2P Tunnel: an input tunnel and an output tunnel link the pattern provider back to the machines, which the author notes helps Molecular Assemblers work smoothly. The mod also carries an EU P2P Tunnel that transfers energy for GregTech CEu Modern, taxed at the same rate as other P2P tunnel transfers.
Dense Co-Processing Units give one storage component several threads, at 4, 16, 64 or 256 kilobytes, each adding threads to a crafting CPU. Multi P2P Tunnels accept several inputs. Because they are separate parts, they do not automatically work with custom P2P tunnels, though some work with the AE2 P2Ps added by other mods. The Faulty Memory Card assists with repetitive memory card tasks such as mass pasting device configurations, setting up storage buses and level emitters, and incrementing or decrementing priorities and amounts, mainly for GregTech assembly lines.
The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Applied Energistics 2 is required, and GregTech CEu Modern is optional. Files are published for 1.20.1 on Forge and NeoForge, with the latest Forge build dated 2026-09-25.

What the author says
Small mod that adds in whatever I or others want in AE2. So far that's just been features from NAE2, but I hope to come up with other stuff soon! Faulty Memory Card and Semi-Vibrant Glass are (hopefully) completely unique creations! Checkout the wiki for more detailed explanations of everything # Features Pattern P2P…
