Building Gadget Refined Storage Bridge

Building Gadget Refined Storage Bridge

日本語版は README_ja.md を参照してください。

A Kotlin-based mod for NeoForge 1.21.1.

Adds the refined_storage_bridge block. By specifying this block as the bind to inventory target in Building Gadgets 2, the Building Gadget can insert and extract items and fluids from a Refined Storage 2 network.

Prerequisites

• Building Gadgets 2 >= 1.3.9
• Refined Storage 2 >= 2.0.1

Usage

1. Build a Refined Storage 2 network and connect the refined_storage_bridge block to a cable.
2. While holding a Building Gadget, right-click the bridge block to bind to inventory.
3. When placing or exchanging blocks with the Gadget, items will be pulled from the RS network.
4. Removed blocks are returned to the RS network.

Checking Status

Right-clicking the bridge block with an empty hand shows the current connection state.

| Display | State |
| ————- | —————————————————————- |
| Connected | Successfully connected to the RS network |
| Disconnected | The cable is disconnected or no network was found |
| Inactive | The network does not have enough power |

When power stops or the cable is cut, the bridge immediately halts operation (fail-closed).

Inventory layout rebuilds are batched at most once per ~1 second, even during continuous network updates. Actual item insertion and extraction continue to work normally in the meantime, but there may be a slight delay before the item count and sort order are reflected in the GUI.

Limitations

• No GUI.
• Only ItemHandler.BLOCK is used for the connection with Building Gadgets 2 (other interfaces are not supported).
• Connects to Refined Storage 2 via the official API. Runtime reflection is used only for display conversion of resource names.
• Owner restrictions and RS security integration are not implemented.
