ColonyLink connects your MineColonies builders to an Applied Energistics 2 network. Instead of hauling materials to every construction site by hand, you link a builder once and send them what they need straight from your ME system.

The mod is built for NeoForge 1.21.1 and needs both MineColonies and Applied Energistics 2 installed.

What it actually does

You carry a ColonyLink Clipboard, link it to a Builder's Hut, and place a Colony Link Redirector on your ME network. From that point the Clipboard shows you what each builder is missing, whether your network can supply it, and lets you send materials or queue crafts without leaving the spot you are standing on.

It also handles the parts of MineColonies that are normally tedious:

  • Domum Ornamentum blocks can be encoded as AE2 patterns and autocrafted.
  • The Warehouse and your ME network can be browsed side by side and moved between.
  • Builders that request a tool get one from your network, upgraded to something sensible for their level.

Where to start

If you have never used the mod, read [Getting Started](Getting-Started). It covers the first Clipboard through to a builder pulling materials out of your network.

If you are setting the mod up for a server or a modpack, [Configuration] and [For Modpack Authors](For-Modpack-Authors) are the two pages you want.

Compatibility

Required:

  • MineColonies
  • Applied Energistics 2

Optional, supported when present:

  • Domum Ornamentum (pattern encoding and autocrafting)
  • AdvancedAE (quantum computer craft submission)
  • Curios (the Clipboard fits in a charm, bracelet or hands slot)
  • Jade (Redirector tooltips)
