A small add-on for Applied Energistics 2 that points out where a pattern lives.
If your base has dozens of pattern providers and you can't remember which one runs a given recipe, this mod adds a quick locate action. Open the Pattern Access Terminal, hold Shift+Alt on a pattern, and the block gets highlighted in the world.
The outline is drawn through walls, so the block stays visible even if it's behind a few layers of concrete. An arrow orbits the crosshair when the block is off-screen, so you know which way to turn.
The marker fades after a configurable timeout (30 seconds by default). Multiple markers can stay up at once.
