Proxies
by Qb
Proxies adds passive blocks that redirect inventory, fluid and energy interactions aimed at them to a target block placed elsewhere.
What it does
A proxy holds nothing of its own. When another block or machine reaches for its item handler, fluid tank or energy store, the call is handed on to the block the proxy is linked to. Proxies come in Item, Fluid and Energy variants, each matching one standard capability type, so hoppers, pipes and cables can use a remote storage through them.
Three proxy kinds set how the target is seen: a regular proxy always accesses the target's sides, a side-preserving proxy keeps the side it was accessed from, as furnaces need, and a side-less variant exposes a single internal view. Junction proxies pass access through one block, letting several chains cross. Filtered proxies add a small GUI with whitelist or blacklist slots that restrict what may pass. Chains of proxies are allowed, and a server config sets the maximum chain length and which block entities may be targeted.
Item Proxies were originally implemented in Convenient Additions. The mod is open source under The Unlicense, with a public source code repository and an issue tracker. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 6 release versions, 1.16.2 – 1.21.11. Forge builds exist for 1.16.2, 1.16.3, 1.16.4 and 1.16.5, and the latest NeoForge file is 2.0.0 for 1.21.11.
Key features
Item, fluid and energy proxies
Each proxy type redirects one standard capability, so an item handler, fluid tank or energy store can be reached from elsewhere.
Side-preserving proxies
Side-preserving proxies keep the access side of machines such as furnaces, which suits blocks that treat each face differently.
Junction proxies
Junction proxies let several proxy chains pass through one block, so different networks can cross at a single point.
Filtered proxies
A filtered proxy has a small GUI with slots for a whitelist or blacklist, which restricts the items or fluids allowed through.
Configurable chain length
A server option limits how long a proxy chain may grow, and another lists block entities that proxies may not target.

What the author says
This mod adds proxies. What are proxies? Proxies are completely passive blocks that target another block and do nothing on their own. However, when something tries to interact with a proxy's inventory, tank, or energy storage, the interaction is transparently redirected to the targeted block instead. Proxies can…
