AE2 Molecular Assembler Plus

AE2 Molecular Assembler Plus

AE2 Molecular Assembler Plus is a Quality-of-Life addon for Applied Energistics 2, developed by ChillCraft Team, focused on late-game automation and making complex modded crafting easier to use.

The mod adds dedicated pattern terminals and molecular assemblers for supported crafting systems. It is not limited to 9x9 recipes: integrations handle large grids, custom layouts, recipe tiers, catalysts, energy costs, and specialized crafting stations.

Features

• Extreme Pattern Encoding Terminal with a 9x9 crafting grid.
• Draconic Pattern Encoding Terminal for fusion crafting, with Wyvern, Draconic, and Chaotic Molecular Assemblers.
• Magical Pattern Encoding Terminal for Botania, with station-specific layouts and catalyst selection.
• Dedicated blank and encoded patterns, recipe tooltips, and AE2 autocrafting support.
• JEI + recipe transfer for supported recipe categories.
• Optional integrations: install only the crafting mods you want to use.

Supported Integrations

Applied Energistics 2 is required. All crafting integrations below are optional, including Botania, and activate only when their matching mod is installed.

• Extended Crafting
• Extended Crafting: Expanded, through compatible Extended Crafting categories
• Re:Avaritia / AvaritiaNeo, where supported by the installed fork and Minecraft version
• Draconic Evolution
• Botania — added in 1.2.0

JEI is optional and enables the recipe-transfer buttons. Without optional crafting mods, base AE2 recipes and the available core automation features remain usable.

Available for Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge and Minecraft 1.21.1 / NeoForge. Use the file matching your Minecraft version and loader, and install any dependencies required by AE2 or your chosen integrations.

Current Focus

• Easier automation for complex recipes.
• Clear, AE2-style crafting workflows.
• Optional compatibility with crafting and automation mods.
• Practical QoL features without unnecessary complexity.

Roadmap

Botania support is now available. Future work may expand into Blood Magic and other custom crafting stations, along with additional recipe coverage and compatibility improvements. Plans may change based on feedback and technical feasibility.
