Description
ME-Beam-Former
A lightweight Applied Energistics 2 addon that links two cable-bus parts with a visible, colored beam. It provides a clean, visual way to bridge ME network nodes across a short gap without extra cables.
Features
- Connect two Beam Former parts facing each other (up to 32 blocks).
- Real-time visibility of the link as a colored beam (inherits the cable color).
- Quick toggle: shift-right-click to hide or show the beam per pair.
- Respects occlusion and part collisions; beam auto-disconnects if blocked.
- Works with AE2’s grid and uses proper ticking/connection logic.
- Performance-friendly dynamic rendering with emissive visuals.
Requirements
- Minecraft: 1.20.1
- Forge: 47.x
- Applied Energistics 2: 15.4.x
Notes
- Designed to match AE2’s look-and-feel and part rendering pipeline.
- Client-only visuals; server logic stays minimal and safe.
- Compatible with common rendering optimizers. If you encounter visual glitches with shader/optimization mods, try disabling the specific beam-related setting.
Getting Started
- Craft two Beam Formers.
- Place them facing each other on cable buses.
- Power your ME network and enjoy the link. Use Shift+Right Click on either end to toggle beam visibility.
Enjoy a cleaner ME setup with clear, elegant links between nodes!
