ME Bridge¶

Picture

The ME Bridge is able to interact with Applied Energistics 2. You can retrieve items, craft items, get all items as a list and more. The ME Bridge uses one channel.

Requirement

Requires the Applied Energistics 2 mod to be installed

Peripheral Name	Interfaces with	Has events	Introduced in
meBridge	ME System	Yes	0.3b

Failure

You need to place the inventory/tank you want to use to export/import stuff next to the ME Bridge and NOT next to the computer!

Events¶

crafting¶

Fires when a crafting job starts or fails.
Values:
1. success: boolean Indicates whether a crafting job has successfully started or not
2. message: string A message about the status of the crafting job
These values are equivalent to the return values of craftItem().

local event, success, message = os.pullEvent("crafting")
if success then
    print("A crafting job has successfully started")
else
    print("A crafting job has failed to start")
end

Warning

The crafting event will fire when the ME Bridge is connected to an active ME System that is performing crafting operations. These operations need to be started by the bridge itself!

Tip

You can use the command /advancedperipherals getHashItem with an item in your hand to get the MD5 hash of the NBT tags of the item. An MD5 Hash can look like this ae70053c97f877de546b0248b9ddf525.

Functions¶

Info

The item arguments(item: table) accepts our item filters, you can check the syntax of these filters here.

craftItem¶

craftItem(item: table[, craftingCpu: string]) -> boolean, err: string

Tries to craft the provided item. If a craftingCpu's name is provided then it will use that cpu to craft the item.

Item Properties¶

Check the item filters guide for more info!

item	Description
name: `string`	The registry name of the item or a tag
count: `number?`	The amount of the item to craft
nbt: `string?`	NBT to match the item on

OR

item	Description
fingerprint: `string`	A unique fingerprint which identifies the item to craft
count: `number?`	The amount of the item to craft

craftFluid¶

craftFluid(fluid: table[, craftingCpu: string]) -> boolean, err: string

Tries to craft the provided fluid. If a craftingCpu's name is provided then it will use that cpu to craft the fluid.

Fluid Properties¶

Check the fluid filters guide for more info!

fluid	Description
name: `string`	The registry name of the fluid or a tag
count: `number?`	The amount of the fluid to craft
nbt: `string?`	NBT to match the fluid on

OR

fluid	Description
fingerprint: `string`	A unique fingerprint which identifies the fluid to craft
count: `number?`	The amount of the fluid to craft
---

getItem¶

getItem(item: table) -> table, err: string

Returns a table with information about the item type in the system.

Properties¶

result	Description
name: `string`	The registry name of the item
fingerprint: `string?`	A unique fingerprint which identifies the item to craft
amount: `number`	The amount of the item in the system
displayName: `string`	The display name for the item
isCraftable: `boolean`	Whether the item has a crafting pattern or not
nbt: `string?`	NBT to match the item on
tags: `table`	A list of all of the item tags

importItem¶

importItem(item: table, direction: string) -> number, err: string

Imports an item from a container in the direction to the ME System.
Returns the number of the item imported into the system.

Since version 0.7r

You can now use both relative (right, left, front, back, top, bottom) and cardinal (north, south, east, west, up, down) directions for the direction argument.

local bridge = peripheral.find("meBridge")

-- Imports 32 dirt from the container above into the system
bridge.importItem({name="minecraft:dirt", count=1}, "up")

exportItem¶

exportItem(item: table, direction: string) -> number, err: string

Exports an item to a container in the direction from the ME bridge block.
Returns the number of the item exported into the container.

local bridge = peripheral.find("meBridge")

-- Exports 1 "Protection I" book into the container above
bridge.exportItem({name="minecraft:enchanted_book", count=1, nbt="ae70053c97f877de546b0248b9ddf525"}, "up")

importItemFromPeripheral¶

importItemFromPeripheral(item: table, container: string) -> number, err: string

Similar to importItem() it imports an item from a container which is connected to the peripheral network.
container should be the exact name of the container peripheral on the network.
Returns the number of the item imported from the container.

exportItemToPeripheral¶

exportItemToPeripheral(item: table, container: string) -> number, err: string

Similar to exportItem() it exports an item to a container which is connected to the peripheral network.
container should be the exact name of the container peripheral on the network.
Returns the number of the item exported into the container.

getEnergyStorage¶

getEnergyStorage() -> number, err: string

Returns the stored energy of the whole ME System in AE.

getMaxEnergyStorage¶

getMaxEnergyStorage() -> number, err: string

Returns the maximum energy storage capacity of the whole ME system in AE.

getEnergyUsage¶

getEnergyUsage() -> number, err: string

Returns the energy usage of the whole ME System in AE/t.

getCraftingCPUs¶

getCraftingCPUs() -> table, err: string

Returns a list of all connected crafting cpus.

CPU Properties¶

cpu	Description
storage: `number`	The amount of storage the CPU has
coProcessors: `number`	The number of coprocessors the CPU has
isBusy: `boolean`	If the cpu is currently crafting

isItemCrafting¶

isItemCrafting(item: table[, craftingCpu: string]) -> boolean, err: string

Returns true if a crafting job for the item exists. If a craftingCpu's name is provided then it will check only if that cpu is crafting the item.

isItemCraftable¶

isItemCraftable(item: table) -> boolean, err: string

Returns true if the item is craftable.

listCraftableItems¶

listCraftableItems() -> table, err: string

Returns a list of information about all craftable items

Properties¶

item / fluid	Description
name: `string`	The registry name of the item

nbt: `string?`	NBT to match the item on
tags: `table`	A list of all of the item tags

local bridge = peripheral.find("meBridge")

-- print out all craftable items
craftableItems = bridge.listCraftableItems()
for _, item in pairs(craftableItems) do
    print(item.name)
end

listCraftableFluid¶
