The phrase “Meet iRemote: The Only Controller You Will Ever Need” is a slight misremembering of a highly popular community phrase and tutorial guide within the Minecraft modding community. It refers to the ME Controller from the Applied Energistics 2 (AE2) tech mod.
The exact guide you are thinking of is titled “The only AE2 ME controller you’ll ever need!!”, popularized by content creators like KSAW. It provides a blueprint for an endgame, massive multiblock routing hub designed to manage network channels. What is the ME Controller?
In the AE2 mod, an ME Controller acts as the central CPU or “brain” of an advanced digital storage and automation network.
The Channel Problem: Without a controller, your network is “ad-hoc” and can only link 8 devices before breaking down.
The Solution: Adding an ME Controller block unlocks 32 channels per block face, allowing you to scale up massive automated factories. The “Only One You Will Ever Need” Build
The specific community build featured in these guides maximizes the strict mechanical rules of Minecraft’s mod engine to create a mega-controller:
[Standard 7x7x7 Hollow Cube Frame] +—————–+ / /| / P2P Tunnels / | <– Emits 21,504 Channels! +—————–+ | | | + | No Crosses (+) | / | Allowed |/ +—————–+
Size Constraints: A controller multiblock cannot exceed a 7x7x7 block size.
The Layout: It must be built as a hollow structure or intersecting lines; it cannot be a solid block, and “cross” (+) shapes are illegal.
Channel Capacity: This optimal design uses hundreds of individual controller blocks lined with P2P Tunnels to output a massive 21,504 channels. Community Reception
