patternbetter
by xiaopiao
Players who handle many patterns in Applied Energistics 2 can use patternbetter to change multiplier and slot settings on Extended Pattern Providers from a single screen.
What it does
patternbetter is an add-on to Applied Energistics 2 that extends pattern providers with more storable patterns, page navigation and bulk editing tools. It requires Applied Energistics 2 and Extended AE, and the Extended Pattern Provider it changes can hold up to 32000 slots in its configured form. Both pattern provider types support 2, 5 and 10 operation buttons for quick multiplier changes.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Customizable pattern slots
Pattern provider slot counts can be adjusted through a UI, with setups exceeding the default 36 slots.
Quick multiplier buttons
Buttons apply 10 preset operations to change pattern quantities rapidly, on both supported pattern provider types.
Page jump box
An input box takes a page number and moves straight to that page of patterns.
One-click upload and smart balancing
Patterns can be transferred from inventory in one click, and the balancing button sets the largest compatible multiplier across related patterns in a recipe chain.
