What Is AE2 Web Integration?
Imagine checking your Applied Energistics 2 storage from your phone while you are away from your base. AE2 Web Integration turns that idea into reality. This server-side add-on for AE2 hosts a lightweight website directly on your Minecraft server, giving you a fully functional terminal inside any web browser. You can browse items, filter and sort them, monitor multiple networks, and even place or cancel crafting orders without ever launching the game. The mod adds no new blocks or items to the game, so your gameplay stays vanilla-friendly while your logistics become incredibly flexible.
Key Features That Change How You Manage AE2 Networks
The mod packs a surprising amount of power into a simple web interface. Here are the standout capabilities you can expect once everything is set up.
- Full AE2 terminal in a browser — view all items in your storage, apply filters, and sort by name, quantity, or mod just like the in-game terminal.
- Multi-network monitoring — keep an eye on as many AE2 networks as you want, all from a single dashboard.
- Remote crafting management — start a new crafting job, check the status of any CPU, or cancel a stuck order instantly.
- Public mode for multiplayer servers — each player can create their own account and access only the networks they have authorized, making the mod safe for large communities.
- Order tracking — follow your crafting tasks in real time, so you always know when that stack of processors will be ready.
- Discord integration — receive crafting notifications or manage orders through a Discord webhook (available when public mode is disabled).
How the Web Panel Identifies Your AE2 Network
Since the mod adds no physical blocks, it relies on existing AE2 components to link a player to a network. On modern versions, you simply place a wireless access point on the network you want to control. Any player who placed that access point will see that network in their web panel. If you log in with an admin account, you automatically gain access to every network that has at least one wireless access point, regardless of who placed it. On older Minecraft versions that use a security terminal, the mod looks for bio cards inside the terminal to grant access — wild cards are ignored for security. This clever design means no extra crafting, just a small setup step that blends naturally into your existing base.
Installation and Setup: A Straightforward Process
Getting AE2 Web Integration running is surprisingly simple, especially since it only needs to be installed on the server. You do not drop anything into your client mods folder. Start by downloading the correct version for your game from the mod's releases page — 1.21.1 NeoForge, 1.20.1, 1.12.2, and 1.7.10 are all supported. Place the JAR file in your server's mods folder and boot up the server. The mod automatically generates a configuration file inside /configs/ae2webintegration/. Open that TOML (or CFG on older versions) file and set the port number you want the web server to use. If you play alone, disable public mode and set a strong admin password. For a modern, streamlined approach, you can install this mod effortlessly via the foxygame.net launcher — a convenient, flexible launcher that lets you download server-side mods directly from its menu, saving you the manual file hunt. After any config changes, run /ae2webintegration reload or restart the server. Finally, make sure the chosen port is open in your firewall if you plan to access the terminal from outside your local network. Then just open http://your-server-ip:configured-port/ in a browser and log in.
Quick Setup Checklist
- Download the mod JAR for your Minecraft version.
- Place it in the server's
modsfolder (server-side only). - Start the server to generate the config file.
- Edit the port, toggle public mode, and set passwords.
- Reload the config or restart the server.
- Open the port on your firewall if needed.
- Visit the web address and enjoy your remote terminal.
Security That Keeps Your Networks Safe
The mod takes account protection seriously, especially in public mode where multiple players share a server. All passwords are stored as PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 hashes, never in plain text. Once you log in, the server issues a token valid for one hour or seven days (configurable), and that token verifies every subsequent request. Localhost connections are automatically authenticated by default, which is handy for testing, but you can disable that in the config if you prefer. Admin accounts bypass network ownership restrictions, so treat those credentials with care. This layered security ensures that even on a busy public server, only the right people can peek into your ME drives.
Discord Integration for Real-Time Alerts
If you run a private server with public mode turned off, you can connect the web panel to a Discord channel. Create a webhook in your Discord server, paste the URL into the mod's config, and the integration will forward crafting updates and other notifications directly to your community. This is perfect for small teams who want to stay informed about long crafting jobs without constantly refreshing a browser tab.
Compatibility and Version Support
AE2 Web Integration currently works on four major Minecraft versions: 1.21.1 (NeoForge), 1.20.1, 1.12.2, and 1.7.10. The 1.7.10 build relies on the GTNH fork of AE2 and AE2FC, while 1.12.2 uses AE2-UEL and AE2FC. Always double-check that your AE2 version matches the mod's requirements. Because the mod is entirely server-side, it does not interfere with client-only mods and can be added or removed without affecting existing worlds — just remember that any stored account data lives on the server.
Why This Mod Belongs in Every Serious AE2 Setup
AE2 Web Integration removes the barrier between you and your storage system. Whether you are monitoring autocrafting from your second monitor, checking stock while at work, or giving your server members a convenient way to manage their networks without logging in, this add-on delivers. The installation is painless, the security is robust, and the feature set covers everything from simple item browsing to full crafting queue control. Pair it with a custom web proxy if you already run a web server, and you can embed the terminal right into your existing dashboard. For anyone who has ever wished they could access their ME system from anywhere, this mod is the answer.
