CrazyAE Nyonification
If you have ever built a sprawling Applied Energistics 2 (AE2) network in Minecraft 1.12.2, you know the pain of juggling multiple storage systems. You have one ME drive for your items, another for your Botania mana, and yet another for your Flux energy cells. Keeping track of which cell holds what, and why your terminal numbers never seem to add up, is a recipe for frustration. That is where CrazyAE Nyonification steps in. This compatibility mod acts as a digital diplomat, forcing CrazyAE, Botania Applied, and Flux Applied to play nicely together on the same ME network.
What Does CrazyAE Nyonification Actually Do?
At its core, this mod unifies the storage channels for mana and FE/RF (Forge Energy / Redstone Flux). Instead of having separate, isolated pools of resources, CrazyAE Nyonification merges them into a single, coherent system. Think of it as a universal translator for your storage cells. A mana cell from Botania Applied and a mana cell from CrazyAE no longer compete; they become part of the same combined pool. The same logic applies to energy cells from Flux Applied and CrazyAE.
Unified Mana Storage with Botania Applied
When Botania Applied is installed, the mod gets to work immediately. It unifies the mana storage channels, allowing both CrazyAE and Botania Applied mana cells to coexist on the same ME network. The mana stored in both types of cells is combined into one accessible pool. You can automatically store and extract mana across all compatible cells without worrying about which mod they came from. The mod supports both regular and creative mana cells. One of the most appreciated fixes is the elimination of missing, duplicated, doubled, or stale mana values in your ME terminals. No more phantom numbers that make you think you have more mana than you actually do.
Unified FE/RF Storage with Flux Applied
Similarly, when Flux Applied is present, CrazyAE Nyonification unifies the FE/RF storage channels. Energy cells from both Flux Applied and CrazyAE can work together on the same network. Energy is transparently stored and extracted from any compatible cell, and again, both regular and creative cells are supported. This means your AE2 system can finally act as a single, reliable power buffer.
AE2 Terminal Compatibility and Better Cell Management
The mod also includes compatibility with Terminal Interaction Integration. This is where the user experience really shines. The ME terminal will now display the combined CrazyAE and Botania Applied/Flux Applied resource total. The data refreshes whenever storage cells enter or leave the network, and the displayed values are recalculated from the network's real storage contents. This prevents stale caches, duplicated totals, and incorrect creative-cell values. You can also insert and extract unified resources directly through the terminal, making management a breeze.
Improved Tooltips and Cell Workbench Support
Storage cells from Botania Applied and Flux Applied now get CrazyAE-style tooltips. You can see capacity, resource usage, type usage, and partitioning hints at a glance. Flux Applied energy cells can also be configured in the AE2 Cell Workbench, giving you finer control over their behavior. The mod supports creative cells from all three mods, ensuring nothing is left out.
Aura Card Compatibility
For those who use Botania Applied, there is a special treat. Aura Cards can now be installed in CrazyAE mana cells. This gives those cells two upgrade slots. The Aura Cards generate mana while the cell is hosted by an online ME Drive. Cell tooltips will display the number of installed Aura Cards and their total mana generation rate, so you can monitor your passive mana income easily.
How to Install and Which Versions to Use
This mod is built specifically for Minecraft 1.12.2, and it requires the Forge loader. It is not a standalone mod; you will need CrazyAE, as well as Botania Applied and/or Flux Applied, for the unification features to activate. To get started, you need to download CrazyAE Nyonification from a trusted mod repository. The process is straightforward: place the downloaded JAR file into your mods folder. For a more streamlined experience, many players use a dedicated launcher. For instance, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for CrazyAE Nyonification, automatically handling version compatibility and dependency checks so you can skip the manual file shuffling. This is a great option if you manage multiple modpacks or want to avoid the hassle of tracking down the right versions.
