# What is Networks?

Networks is a [Slimefun4](https://github.com/Slimefun/Slimefun4) addon that provides a simple-to-use yet incredibly powerful storage system to your Minecraft server.

Networks' main aim is to imitate great mods like AE2 and Refined Storage while requiring no mods to be installed on a local client or the server.

## What is a Network?

A Network is a series of blocks connected to one another - at it's core, that is it.

Any block in Networks, if placed next to one another, will extend the range of the Network.

Any item inside the Network (or exposed to the Network) can be 'seen' by any other Network block. This means if you have a stack of Cobblestone in a [Network Cell](/networks/network-nodes/network-cell.md), it will be available for use by any other [Network Node](/networks/network-nodes.md) that requires cobblestone.
