ColonyLink

Thanks for 10k !

ColonyLink Bridge between MineColonies builders and your Applied Energistics 2 network.

ColonyLink gives you a single wireless Clipboard and a Warehouse Link terminal to manage all your MineColonies builders directly from your ME network. no more running back and forth between your storage and your build sites.

WAREHOUSE LINK TERMINAL

- A new AE2 cable part that puts your entire MineColonies Warehouse and ME network side by side in one interface.

                Snap it onto any AE2 cable, insert a Warehouse Link Card, and you get a live dual-panel terminal: your Warehouse on the left, your ME network on the right. Browse both inventories simultaneously, move items between them, and craft — all without leaving the screen.

• Pick & drop anywhere — pick from Warehouse or ME, drop into the other panel, your inventory, your hotbar, or directly into the crafting grid. Full AE2-style carried cursor, 16 source/destination combinations
• Integrated crafting grid — full 3×3 vanilla crafting built into the terminal. Shift-click the output to craft the maximum possible amount in one click
• ME craftables — craftable-only items shown with a blue overlay. Middle-click any of them to open AE2's native CraftAmountMenu
• Transfers — shift+click or drag to select multiple items, then push the whole selection WH→ME, ME→WH, or straight to inventory with a single button click
• Search bars — filter both panels independently. Search is preserved when you navigate to AE2's craft screen and come back
• Smart deduplication — double racks counted correctly, no phantom quantities
• Works on dedicated servers — fully server-safe

Domum Pattern Queue

• Clicking "No Pattern" on a Domum item in the Clipboard now sends it to the Warehouse Link Terminal queue
• The Cutter tab displays a scrollable list of all pending Domum recipes imported from the Clipboard
• Hover any entry for full details: item name, variant, and materials
• Select an entry, insert a Blank Pattern, and click Encode — the encoded pattern appears in the output slot ready to pick up
• Encode any pattern imported into the list from the Clipboard
• Duplicate entries are rejected with a clear message
• The queue is shared colony-wide, persisted across restarts, and automatically clears entries once AE2 detects the pattern as craftable

Locate Builder

• New "Locate" button in the Clipboard GUI
• Applies a Glowing effect to the assigned builder NPC — visible through walls and terrain
• Configurable duration (default: 8s) and RF cost (default: 500 RF) — both op-only config options
• 10-second cooldown per player to prevent spam

ColonyLink Clipboard

• Track missing resources — see exactly what each builder needs, live, with real-time stock levels from AE2
• Craft on demand — trigger craft jobs for missing items in one click, directly from the resource list
• Send to builder — push available items from your network directly to the builder's inventory via the Redirector block
• Multi-builder support — link up to 5 Builder's Huts to a single wand, switch between them with tabs
• Warehouse integration — scan MineColonies Warehouse racks as a fallback source before pulling from your network
• Tool upgrade system — automatically substitutes tool requests with the best tier available in your network, respecting MineColonies Work Hut level caps
• Builder status — see what your builder is doing, and why they're idle (hungry, sick, sleeping, no home, bad weather…)
• Priority Request — always shows the most urgent item first, with a dedicated Fulfill button
• Craft feedback — tooltips tell you when an item is craftable but missing its primary ingredients, so you know exactly what's blocking the queue
• Customizable GUI — adjust colors, opacity, border thickness and scale directly in-game, saved per client
  
  
  
  

?? How it works ??

1. Link the wand to your AE2 (Wireless Access Point)
2. Sneak + right-click a Builder's Hut to pair it
3. Sneak + right-click a Colony Link Redirector (placed adjacent to your network) to link it to that builder
4. Right-click in the air to open the resource GUI
   
   

   Citizen Tab

   Manage your colony citizen's open requests from the ColonyLink Clipboard. View pending needs for every non-builder citizen, farmers, guards, miners, cooks and more and fulfill them in one click, sending items from your ME network to the colony warehouse.

   

   
   
   New — Delivery target (server / modpack setting)

   Choose how ColonyLink delivers builder resources, set server-side in colonylink-server.toml under [delivery] send_target:

   • BUILDER (default) — inserted straight into the Builder's Hut, bypassing the courier. The classic ColonyLink experience: fast and hands-off.
   • WAREHOUSE — placed into the colony Warehouse instead; a MineColonies courier delivers to the builder. Slower, but keeps couriers relevant — great for balanced modpacks.

   Set it once as a server owner or modpack author and it applies to everyone on the server — the delivery policy is authoritative and syncs to every client on join. In WAREHOUSE mode, sent resources show a greyed-out "Sent" line until the courier delivers, and tool substitution is disabled so couriers carry exactly what was requested.

   Server admins: the config moved from COMMON to SERVER type — a fresh colonylink-server.toml is generated, so re-apply any custom values. Modpacks can ship defaults via defaultconfigs/colonylink-server.toml.
