Project Overview

1. Mod Introduction

GT-Simple-Wireless-Network (GTSWN) is a GregTech New Horizons (GTNH) mod that adds wireless energy monitoring, transfer, and redstone control to the GTNH wireless EU network.

The mod provides portable / block-based monitors, a wireless network link terminal, and link terminal covers (Energy / Power) — all craftable at LV tier — enabling intelligent grid analysis, redstone logic output, and seamless wireless energy transfer for any machine.

  • Portable / block-based monitors display wireless grid status in real time
  • Wireless Energy Tap connects any machine to the wireless grid
  • Wireless Energy / Dynamo Covers are auto-applied by the Tap
  • Network Info Panel supports 4 time-window trend charts (5m / 1h / 8h / 24h)
  • AE2 network integration: AE Chart and AE Realtime Monitor

Unofficial Mod Notice: This is an unofficial mod. Please avoid discussing it in official GTNH forums.

2. Core Features

GTSWN provides three core feature sets around the wireless EU network:

Category Description Modules
Monitoring Real-time display of wireless grid energy, EU/t change rate, and GT power tier. Supports a portable HUD (auto-displayed when in inventory), a block monitor (with GUI and redstone output), and a Network Info Panel (multi-block trend chart, 4 time windows). Sampling interval 100 ticks (5 s), 300-second rolling window. 01 / 02 / 03
Transfer The Wireless Energy Tap connects any machine to the wireless grid and automatically applies Energy / Power covers with NBT parameters. Energy mode = virtual power source (with capacity buffer), Power mode = virtual cable (reads machine output). Default downlink loss 15%, uplink 0%. 06 / 07
Redstone Control The Wireless Energy Monitor has a 5-mode redstone output (Off / High / Low / High-Hysteresis / Low-Hysteresis), with 3 anchor modes (grid energy / average EU/t / realtime EU/t) and parametric thresholds. Output strength 15 or 0. Redstone check interval 2 ticks (0.1 s) for fast response. 08

3. Dependencies

Required dependencies (runtime / compile-time) are listed below:

Dependency Version Type Usage
GT5-Unofficial 5.09.54.20 Required (runtime + compile) Wireless grid API, MTE base, cover system, crafting recipes
Applied Energistics 2 Unofficial rv3-beta-1000-GTNH Required (runtime + compile) AE network access, AE chart, AE realtime monitor
GTNHLib 0.11.23 Required (runtime + compile) GTNH common utility library
StructureLib 1.4.42 Required (runtime + compile) Multiblock machine structure definition & build
ModularUI 1.3.4 Required (runtime + compile) GUI construction (monitor, info panel config)
ModularUI2 2.3.79 Required (runtime + compile) Next-gen GUI framework (Flow layout, SyncValue)
Baubles-Expanded 2.2.6-GTNH Optional (compile-only) Portable monitor accessory slot support (safe fallback if absent)

Note: Baubles-Expanded is optional. If the player does not install Baubles, the portable monitor still works in the main inventory slots — only the accessory slot placement is unavailable.

6. Quick Start

The following 6 steps let a player build a complete wireless grid monitoring system from scratch.

Step 1: Craft the Wireless Energy Monitor

Craft the Wireless Energy Monitor in a crafting table using this 3×3 matrix:

Slot Col 1 Col 2 Col 3
Row 1 LV Receiver Steel Plate LV Receiver
Row 2 LV Receiver LV Machine Hull LV Receiver
Row 3 Steel Screw Steel Plate Steel Screw

Materials: LV Receiver ×4 + Steel Plate ×2 + LV Machine Hull ×1 + Steel Screw ×2

Step 2: Place the monitor and bind owner

Place the crafted Wireless Energy Monitor in the world and right-click to open its GUI. The monitor automatically binds to the placer's UUID and starts sampling the wireless grid energy at 5-second intervals.

In the GUI you can switch display modes (Normal / Scientific / Metric), switch anchor modes (Grid Energy / Average EU/t / Realtime EU/t), and configure redstone output modes and threshold parameters.

Step 3: Craft the Wireless Energy Tap

Craft the Wireless Energy Tap in a crafting table using this 3×3 matrix:

Slot Col 1 Col 2 Col 3
Row 1 LV Emitter Steel Plate LV Emitter
Row 2 LV Emitter Screen Cover LV Emitter
Row 3 Steel Screw Steel Plate Steel Screw

Materials: LV Emitter ×4 + Steel Plate ×2 + Screen Cover ×1 + Steel Screw ×2

Step 4: Use the Tap to attach covers

Hold the Wireless Energy Tap: Shift + right-click to switch between Energy and Power modes (dynamic texture reflects the current mode); right-click a GT machine to automatically attach the corresponding Energy or Power cover with NBT parameters for capacity, voltage, and amperage.

  • Energy mode (yellow highlight): draws EU from the wireless grid and injects it into the machine (virtual power source)
  • Power mode (purple highlight): reads machine output and uploads to the wireless grid (virtual cable)

Step 5 (Optional): Craft the Portable Monitor

Craft the Portable Wireless Network Monitor in a crafting table using this 3×3 matrix:

Slot Col 1 Col 2 Col 3
Row 1 LV Receiver Steel Plate LV Receiver
Row 2 LV Receiver Screen Cover LV Receiver
Row 3 Steel Screw Steel Plate Steel Screw

Materials: LV Receiver ×4 + Steel Plate ×2 + Screen Cover ×1 + Steel Screw ×2

Place the portable monitor in your inventory (or a Baubles accessory slot) and right-click to bind the owner. Right-click again to cycle HUD modes (Off → Normal → Scientific). The HUD automatically shows realtime EU/t, average EU/t, and grid energy.

Step 6 (Optional): Craft the Network Info Panel to view trend charts

Craft the Network Info Panel in a crafting table using a cross structure (center = Wireless Energy Monitor):

Slot Col 1 Col 2 Col 3
Row 1 LV Sensor Glass LV Sensor
Row 2 Glass Wireless Energy Monitor Glass
Row 3 LV Sensor Glass LV Sensor

Materials: LV Sensor ×4 + Glass ×4 + Wireless Energy Monitor ×1 (glass accepts plain and stained glass)

Place the panel and right-click to open the GUI. You can switch between 4 time windows (5m / 1h / 8h / 24h) and configure spline smoothing, display mode, etc. Extender panels can be added to enlarge the display area; multiple panels share data per player UUID.
