Mekanism Fission Meltdown Rework
by IDKDead
Mekanism Fission Meltdown Rework changes how a Mekanism Generators fission reactor destroys itself when its core collapses, replacing the simple explosion with a much larger blast.
What it does
A reactor that fails its safety limits collapses at the core, and a massive explosion erupts at the reactor center. The mod intentionally makes meltdowns far more destructive than vanilla Mekanism, so a reactor failure has a much wider environmental impact.
The mod requires Mekanism and Mekanism Generators, and is published for Forge only, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Radial destruction pattern
A meltdown sends blast spokes outward from the reactor, cutting dramatic paths through the surrounding land.
Larger meltdown impact
Terrain damage reaches well beyond what a standard Mekanism meltdown leaves behind.
Spectacular disaster moments
The result is a visually striking event that suits server stories and recorded replays.
Responsible reactor play
The author advises building reactors with care, since a failure here is considerably more destructive than usual.

Who it’s for: Server owners who run Mekanism Generators fission reactors and want meltdowns to have a larger effect on the world.
How it compares
Phoenix's Fission is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and needs both client and server for 1.20.1. Dea's Fission is licensed as All rights reserved, also needs both sides and targets 1.20.1. Mekanism Fission Meltdown Rework differs by being server-side only, so clients need nothing.

What the author says
A small addon that enhances the meltdown mechanics of the Mekanism Fission Reactor. Instead of a simple explosion, meltdowns now create a large-scale catastrophic event that leaves visible destruction across the landscape.
