PackagedAuto
Packages of items let PackagedAuto autocraft recipes with more than nine ingredients through an Applied Energistics 2 network, and on 1.18.2 and later it also handles fluids.
What it does
Two Recipe Pattern Holders are encoded with an Encoder, then one goes into a Packager and the other into an Unpackager. Both machines sit on a ME Network. The Packager turns incoming items into Recipe Packages and ejects them into the network, while the Unpackager takes those packages and outputs the items into an adjacent inventory. Each machine advertises its capabilities to the network based on the pattern holder it contains.
The mod can run without Applied Energistics 2, though installing it alongside that mod is the recommended setup. Applied Energistics 2, Just Enough Items (JEI) and Patchouli are optional dependencies. PackagedAuto is published for Forge and NeoForge across 8 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.1, and is released under the MIT License, so the source code is open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. A Fabric port is not currently planned, though the author welcomes one.

Who it’s for: Players who run Applied Energistics 2 and want autocrafting for recipes that exceed nine ingredients, and server owners who maintain ME Networks for their players.
