Adapter
The adapter allows computers to interact with blocks from vanilla Minecraft or other mods. Supported blocks adjacent to the adapter will show up as components in computers connected to the adapter.
In addition to this, the adapter provides a slot for a few select upgrades. For example, the inventory controller upgrade allows computers to query more information from an inventory adjacent to the adapter, similar to when the upgrade is installed in a device (such as a robot or drone), and a tank controller upgrade provides similar functionality for fluid tanks next to the adapter. Furthermore, you can insert a bound MFU to interact with blocks a few spaces away.
