Modern industrialization FE compat

MI-FE-Compat

Bridges Modern Industrialization (EU) and NeoForge Forge Energy (FE) — allowing FE generators to power MI cables and FE cables to connect to MI machines.

---

What it does

MI machines only speak the MI energy API (EnergyApi.SIDED). Mods speak NeoForge FE (IEnergyStorage). Without this mod, the two systems are invisible to each other. MI-FE-Compat registers two transparent bridges so energy flows freely in both directions.

---

Two bridge directions

| Direction | Use case |
|-----------|----------|
| FE → MI | FE generators (Mekanism, Thermal, etc.) supply power to MI cables |
| MI → FE | FE cables (Mekanism Universal Cable, PowerGrid) connect to MI machines |

Both bridges are registered via NeoForge's RegisterCapabilitiesEvent and cached by BlockCapabilityCache — they are created once per block position on cache miss, not every tick. A shared recursion guard (ThreadLocal) prevents infinite loops when the two bridges would otherwise trigger each other.

---

Configuration

No separate config file. The EU ↔ FE conversion ratio is read directly from Modern Industrialization's own config (forgeEnergyPerEu, default: 1 EU = 10 FE). Changing the ratio in MI's config automatically applies to this mod.

Commands

All commands require permission level 0 (any player).

/mifecompat status
Shows how many bridges have been created for each direction. Use this to verify the mod is working after placing cables.

/mifecompat check
Inspects the 6 blocks adjacent to your position and reports which energy APIs each one exposes: [FE] (NeoForge), [GP] (GrandPower), [MI] (Modern Industrialization).

/mifecompat scan
Scans a 5-block radius around you and lists all energy-capable block types found. Useful for diagnosing why a connection is not forming.

Compatibility

Tested with Modern Industrialization 1.7+, Mekanism, and PowerGrid on NeoForge 21.1 (Minecraft 1.21.1). Any mod that uses standard NeoForge IEnergyStorage should work automatically.

Does not conflict with GrandPower-based bridges already built into MI — this mod only activates for blocks that MI does not natively handle.
