Network Tool Plus
A Minecraft NeoForge mod that enhances AE2's Network Tool with auto-collection, expanded inventory, and toolbox improvements.
Features
- Collector Mode — Sneak + right-click to toggle. When active, the tool gains an enchantment glint and automatically pulls upgrade cards from your inventory into the tool
- Auto-Collect — Works whether the tool is in your inventory or a Curios slot. Scans your inventory every 10 ticks for AE2 upgrade cards and moves them into the tool
- 21 Upgrade Slots — Expanded from the vanilla 9 slots to 21 (7×3 grid), with custom GUI textures
- Toolbox Smart-Fill — Shift-clicking upgrade cards from the toolbox in a machine GUI directly fills upgrade slots. Incompatible cards stay put. Terminal GUIs retain original behavior
- Tool Slot Locking — When any AE2 menu is open, Network Tools in your inventory are locked to prevent accidental shift-click movement
- Curios Integration — (Optional) Wear the Network Tool in a Curios slot. Full collector mode and auto-collect support
