About
AE2 Crafting Time helps players understand how long Applied Energistics 2 autocrafting jobs are likely to take and identify why they are slow or stalled; it observes an existing network rather than making machines craft faster. The server learns production rates from completed crafts, retains recent samples with the world for each network and output, and uses that history to estimate the time for individual outputs and whole jobs in AE2’s Crafting Plan and Crafting Status screens. Estimates are marked as uncertain when history is thin, and after a craft finishes the mod can compare its prediction with actual elapsed time, helping players judge how accurate its estimates have been. While a job runs, status labels distinguish work that is waiting to start from problems such as missing power, providers, channels, or machine destinations, and flag delays when expected production stops. Hover details and bottleneck advice can point to issues such as slow machines, too few Pattern Providers, or insufficient Crafting Co-Processors, while sorting and color-coded time estimates make the longest known tasks easier to spot. Optional integrations extend timing support to Applied Mekanistics chemicals and compatible crafting CPUs from AdvancedAE, NeoEco, and AE2 Lightning Tech; with ME Requester installed, request rows can also show estimates for the portion not already in storage.

No harmful code found
We checked its files without running them.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 2 files in your config folder.
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for Fabric 1.20.1; NeoForge 1.21.1; Forge 1.20.1. See Privacy
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.4 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. All 4 are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Not read yet
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We have not read its code yet
The file checks found no code that connects to the internet.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.None yet. See each file in Releases
AI
The author says no AI was used
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
- Code historyThe public code on GitHub: who made each change, credit lines such as "Co-authored-by", and its files.Not read yet
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.The author writes: “The mod does not use generative AI while running and does not include AI-generated visual assets.”14 of 40 changelogs read
- Its filesFiles that AI coding tools leave behind (like AGENTS.md), and the texts inside the files you download.Nothing found
- Images in its filesHidden data in the images of the files you download, where AI image tools write their name and settings.Nothing found48 images read
