Applied Energistics 2

Highlights

[Forge only] Changes to the config system

The AE2 config was moved to the appliedenergistics2/client.json and appliedenergistics/common.json files, and it is now using a custom system instead of the usual Forge .toml config system. This should be just as easy to configure as before, however please make sure to migrate your config files from the old format to this new format. This was done to fix various issues caused by Forge loading configs too late for our needs, and explicitly refusing to load them earlier when asked about it.

Fortune annihilation plane

The annihilation plane is now enchantable with mining tool enchantments, and will keep its enchants when placed. In particular, this includes Fortune and Silk Touch enchantments. The old Identity Annihilation Plane is deprecated, but it will still work in 1.18, and it will only be removed in 1.19.

• Fix #6194 by making the ME Annihilation Plane enchantable by @62832 in https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/pull/6203

Keybinds to open Wireless Terminals and Portable Cells

• Add keybinds for Wireless (Crafting) Terminal and Portable Storage Cells by @Mari023 in https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/pull/6251

Performance

This release vastly improves autocrafting performance. Previously, autocrafting would simulate extraction of the entire contents of the network every time it started a crafting calculation. Now, it uses the cached item list. **In particular, if you set a storage bus to show non-extractable items, this might lead to incorrect results. The old behavior of simulating a full network extraction can be enabled in the config, but doing so is not recommended for performance reasons, and that option will probably be removed eventually.

• Fix #6307: Make crafting calculations use the cached inventory by default by @Technici4n in https://github.com/AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2/pull/6310.
