About this Mod
🧲 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.

Magnetic Cells server crashes on startup – what to do?

Magnetic Cells officially supports forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.6. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Magnetic Cells – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Magnetic Cells consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
