Magnetic Cells

by tmage · on Modrinth

Magnetic portable storage cells for AE2 with a built-in item magnet — automatically picks up dropped items into your ME storage.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

🧲 Magnetic Cells

Tired of items scattered on the ground? Magnetic Cells automatically pick up items from the floor directly into your AE2 storage — so you never miss a drop again.
