DNS peer client

The client talks to Digitally Networked Storage when that pack is on the world. It does not require DNS: waitReady() is false if DNS is missing, and you keep using your own storage. If this addon is a DNS extension, you can still require the DNS pack yourself.

DNS does not run your machines. It connects them to a Machine Interface so items can move, and so you can receive power and talk to storage and autocraft.

You talk to DNS through a few blocks. The names are easy to mix up:

Block	What it is	Coordinates you pass
Gateway	Items, unique items, and autocraft on a data network	That Gateway
Machine Interface	Faces your machine. Inserts inputs, drains outputs, optional energy	Your machine, never the Interface
Power Adapter	Energy port on a power network	That Power Adapter (you subscribe there)
Power supply	Sneak-toggle on the Interface (Interface energy on/off)	Not a block you pass

Do not save Machine Interface coordinates — you never pass the Interface.

A Power Adapter is different: pull and push use that block’s coordinates. DNS does not follow your cables to find an Adapter for you. Remember the Adapter you use, or find it again with hasTag("xxdmogxx_dns:energy_port").

The client remembers which of your machines are paired in your pack’s world dynamic properties. Call forgetPair when your block breaks (Pairing, wake, outputs).

Copy mcbe-ipc into your pack next to the client.

Start with Installation (files, waitReady, world-load recipe).
