Refined Utils

by partlymanu

Refined Utils adds utility blocks that connect to a Refined Storage 2 network, letting other systems read and write its contents.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

The Exposed Interface block joins a Refined Storage 2 network the same way other network devices do, using a cable. It exposes the entire network's item contents through the standard IItemHandler interface, so a neighboring chest or machine can read the network directly without extra configuration. Mods that read inventories still need a special integration to use that access.

Each utility block has an access mode that controls whether items may flow in, out or in either direction. A right-click opens an operation log that lists the last 8 insert and extract operations. Refined Utils requires Refined Storage, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and the code is MIT licensed and open source.

Key features

  1. Exposed Interface block

    A utility block that links a Refined Storage 2 network to adjacent inventories through the standard item handler.

  2. Access mode toggle

    Each block can be restricted to inserting, extracting, or allowing both, which controls the direction of item flow.

  3. Operation log

    A right-click shows the last 8 insert and extract operations recorded by the block.

  4. Cable connection

    The utility blocks attach to Refined Storage 2 networks with cables, like other network devices.
