AE2 Objects

A NeoForge addon mod for Applied Energistics 2 that introduces high-density Deep Storage Cells with no type limits.

AE2Objects provides flexible, high-capacity storage solutions that remove the traditional AE2 63-type limit while maintaining balanced byte-based mechanics.

Features

• Deep Item Storage Cells: High-density storage cells with no item type limits—every item consumes exactly 1 byte.
• Multiple Capacity Tiers: Available in 1K, 4K, 16K, 64K, and 256K tiers.
• Full AE2 Integration: Works seamlessly with ME Drives, Cell Workbenches, Partitioning, Fuzzy Cards, and Inverter Cards.
• Safe Cell Disassembly: Sneak + right-click with an empty cell in hand (or on a block) to reclaim its storage housing and component.
• In-Game Management & Recovery: Built-in commands for checking cell UUIDs and recovering storage data.
• Dedicated Creative Tab Integration: Seamlessly integrated into Applied Energistics 2 creative tabs.

• Minecraft: 26.1.2
• NeoForge: 26.1.2.98 or compatible
