ME Requester Mod is a storage and utility mod that keeps items and fluids stocked inside an Applied Energistics 2 ME System for Minecraft on Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge.
The real appeal here is convenience: large AE2 setups are powerful, but they can become annoying when common items or fluids quietly run out right when you need them. ME Requester solves that maintenance problem by giving you dedicated request blocks and a remote terminal for managing stock levels, and its 1.1 million+ Modrinth downloads suggest plenty of players have found that workflow worth adding to their pack.
Key Features of ME Requester
- Automatic item restocking — The core idea is simple: keep important items available in your AE2 network without repeatedly checking storage by hand. That matters most in long-running worlds where crafting parts, automation ingredients, or building supplies are used constantly and missing stock slows everything down.
- Fluid stock support — This mod is not limited to items, because the rewritten system also supports fluids. That makes it more practical for modern tech packs where fluid handling matters just as much as solid materials in automated production chains.
- Five request slots by default — Each ME Requester starts with five requests out of the box, which gives you a clear and manageable entry point instead of overwhelming setup. For many players, that default is enough to cover the most important supplies first and expand only when the network really needs it.
- Scale with multiple Requesters — You can place as many Requesters on the same system as you like, so the mod scales with the size of your base. That flexibility is useful because a compact starter network and a late-game factory do not need the same stock plan.
- Remote control through the ME Requester Terminal — The terminal lets you configure requests and monitor their status remotely instead of walking to every block. In practice, that means less friction when you are tuning a busy system and faster visibility into what your network is trying to keep in stock.
- Configurable slots, channel use, and idle energy — The mod allows its slot count, channel usage, and idle energy usage to be configured. That is important for pack makers and careful survival players because it gives you room to match the mod to the balance and rules of a specific setup rather than accepting one fixed behavior.

How to Install ME Requester
- Choose the build that matches both your Minecraft version and your preferred loader: Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge. The available combinations differ by version, so check the compatibility table below before downloading.
- Install the correct mod loader for your instance: Fabric Mod Loader, Minecraft Forge, or NeoForge.
- Make sure your pack already includes Applied Energistics 2, because ME Requester is built around an AE2 ME System and is meant to keep that network stocked.
- Place the ME Requester file into your Minecraft
modsfolder, then start the game with the same loader and version the file was made for. - Open your world, connect the Requester to your ME setup, and use the ME Requester Terminal to configure requests and check their status remotely.

Alternatives to ME Requester
- Applied Energistics 2 — The core storage network mod that ME Requester is designed to work with, making it the first place to look if you want a full ME-based setup.
- Lazier AE2 — A related option worth checking if you already know the older Requester concept and want to compare where these features originally came from.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ME Requester actually do?
ME Requester keeps items and fluids in stock inside an Applied Energistics 2 ME System. Instead of relying on manual checks, it gives you request blocks that maintain target supplies and a terminal that helps you manage those requests remotely.
Does ME Requester support fluids as well as items?
Yes — the rewritten system supports fluids in addition to items. That makes the mod more useful in automation-heavy worlds where your ME network is responsible for more than simple item storage.
How many requests can one ME Requester handle by default?
One ME Requester can host five requests by default. That starting point keeps the system simple to understand, and the mod also allows the number of supported slots to be configured.
Can I manage Requesters without standing next to every block?
Yes — the ME Requester Terminal is made for remote access. You can use it to configure requests and monitor their status, which is much more comfortable once your AE2 base starts spreading out.
Which versions and loaders are supported?
The supported Minecraft versions are 1.21.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.1, 1.19.2, and 1.18.2. Loader support includes Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge, although the exact loader options depend on the Minecraft version you choose.
Is ME Requester connected to Lazier AE2?
Yes — the mod description says players who used Lazier AE2 may already recognize the Requester idea. The Requester features were separated into this standalone mod, and the system was rewritten afterward.
