Connector Extras
Overview
Connector Extras is an additional module for Connector that provides integration with third-party APIs and other mods, extending the functionality of the main system.
System Modules
The mod is organized as a set of independent modules, each responsible for a specific type of integration.
Energy System Bridge
Provides compatibility between Forge's energy system (FE) and Team Reborn's Energy API (E). Supports two-way conversion of energy units for blocks and items. The default ratio is set to 1 E : 10 FE, but both conversion directions can be configured separately. Setting a value to 0 disables conversion in that direction.
Universal REI Support
Runs REI's plugin detection system for Fabric on the Forge platform alongside the standard detector. This allows loading plugins from mods of both platforms simultaneously. Includes components of REI Fabric code distributed under the MIT license.
EMI Integration
Similar to REI Bridge, this module loads EMI plugins from Fabric mods in the Forge environment. Contains parts of the EMI API code licensed under MIT.
Reach Attributes for Forge
A port of the Reach Entity Attributes library from Fabric to Forge, implemented alongside Forge's own reach attribute system. Provides compatibility with Fabric mods that require this library but cannot work due to mixin conflicts in the original version.
Architectury API Bridge
Registers Fabric mod event buses in Architectury Forge, preventing registry initialization issues.
TerraBlender Compatibility
Runs the terrablender system from Fabric mods on Forge, making it possible to use them with the Forge version of TerraBlender.
ModMenu Integration
Links ModMenu's configuration screen factory with Forge's mod list GUI.
Amecs API Port
A version of Amecs API for Forge, implemented alongside Forge's key modifier system. Provides compatibility with Fabric mods that require this library.
Configuration Bridge
A clean implementation of Forge Config API Port on Forge, allowing Fabric mods to easily access Forge's configuration system and register their own settings.
