What does Magnetic Cells add?

🧲 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.


✨ How It Works

Craft a Magnetic Cell, charge it with Forge Energy, and carry it in your inventory. The built-in magnet will automatically collect nearby items and store them directly in the cell — no ME network required.

  • Built-in item magnet — automatically picks up nearby dropped items
  • Whitelist / Blacklist filter — control exactly what gets collected
  • ME Drive compatible — works as a standard AE2 storage cell in any ME Drive
  • Multiple cells work in parallel — carry as many as you want
  • Forge Energy powered — charge with any FE-compatible charger
  • 63 item types per cell across all tiers
