Me-Beam-Former

# ME-Beam-Former A lightweight Applied Energistics 2 addon that links two cable-bus parts with a visible, colored beam. It provides a clean, visual way to bridge ME network nodes across a short gap without extra cables. ## Features - Connect two Beam Former parts facing each other (up to 32 blocks). - Real-time visibility of the link as a colored beam (inherits the cable color). - Quick toggle: shift-right-click to hide or show the beam per pair. - Respects occlusion and part collisions; beam auto-disconnects if blocked. - Works with AE2’s grid and uses proper ticking/connection logic. - Performance-friendly dynamic rendering with emissive visuals. ## Requirements - Minecraft: 1.20.1 - Forge: 47.x - Applied Energistics 2: 15.4.x ## Notes - Designed to match AE2’s look-and-feel and part rendering pipeline. - Client-only visuals; server logic stays minimal and safe. - Compatible with common rendering optimizers. If you encounter visual glitches with shader/optimization mods, try disabling the specific beam-related setting. ## Getting Started 1. Craft two Beam Formers. 2. Place them facing each other on cable buses. 3. Power your ME network and enjoy the link. Use Shift+Right Click on either end to toggle beam visibility. Enjoy a cleaner ME setup with clear, elegant links between nodes!
