Ability to set name on pattern provider

Describe the feature

Currently when you have sub networks for auto crafting the pattern provider show up in the pattern terminal as "AE2 Cable and/or Bus". It would be great if you could set a custom name on the pattern provider that would show up in the pattern terminal, for example "Ore Doubler" or "Steel Factory".

Reasons why it should be considered

It would make it easier to tell the different pattern providers apart instead of having many rows all named "AE2 Cable and/or Bus".

Ah I see! Hmm, but what part would I rename in this case? The pattern provider, the me interface connected to the pattern provider, or the storage bus that outputs the input items to the mekanism machine?

commented

This is already possible by renaming the inventory that the Pattern Provider is facing rather than the Pattern Provider itself.

commented

How do you rename an inventory? In my case, there's only storage buses and import/export buses connected to mekanism machines on the sub network. I can't find ways to rename anything there...

commented

Just as you would with any regular item, via an anvil or using an inscriber Name Press.

commented

Whatever sits immediately next to the Pattern Provider to receive crafting ingredients, as I've already said. In this case, it would be the Interface you mention.

commented

Tried it and actually I had to rename the pattern provider. But, it works! Thank you so much for the help :)

Renaming the adjacent inventory itself does not currently work [issue #6695], but renaming the pattern provider itself in an anvil does work.
