• Direct Page Navigation: Enter a page number to instantly jump to the desired pattern section.

• Instant Upload: Transfer all patterns from your inventory directly to the provider with a single click.

• Pattern Editing Mode: Precise parameter adjustment for individual patterns with individual control over multiplication settings.

• Smart Balancing: Automatic calculation of maximum compatible multipliers for related patterns, ensuring balance across entire recipe chains.

⚙️ Configuration Settings

To change the number of pattern slots in Extended ME Pattern Provider:

Version 1.20.1: The mod adds a configuration screen (may not look perfect). Settings can be changed after launching the game or by editing the configuration file in the config folder.

Version 1.21.1: In-game configuration or manual file editing is supported.

❗ Important: After making changes, be sure to restart the game!

⚠️ Important Warnings
