Mekanism Unleashed
by WhitePhantom
Mekanism Unleashed raises the upgrade limits of Mekanism's machines, letting speed and energy upgrades go further than the defaults.
What it does
Speed and energy upgrades in Mekanism machines are capped at 8 by default. With this mod the cap is 32. Once a machine reaches one operation per tick, extra speed upgrades make it run several operations in a single tick instead of stopping there. Every change can be turned off or adjusted in the config, and changes take effect after a restart.
Mekanism Unleashed is for NeoForge and needs Mekanism itself to run. The server is required and the client is optional, so a server owner installs it and players may still join without it. Files exist for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 0.3.2 for 1.21.1 as the latest release. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the mod is credited to nin8995 for Mekanism Tweaks, which the upgrade-limit change was first copied from before being adapted to NeoForge and newer Mekanism versions.
Key features
Higher upgrade cap
The limit for speed and energy upgrades rises from 8 to 32 by default, and the value can be changed in the config.
Multiple operations per tick
Once a machine runs one operation per tick, additional speed upgrades start performing several operations at once.
Enchantable Meka gear option
A config option allows Meka Armor and Meka Tools to be enchanted. It is off by default and adds no item tags, so those must be added by hand.
Configurable tweaks
Each change can be enabled, disabled or tuned in the config, and a restart applies the new values.

How it compares
REI - Mekanism Integration is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, for 1.21.1, so it adds recipe viewer support on the client and does not change machine behavior. Mekanism Output Faster is server-side only, under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and not open source, for 1.21.1, and speeds up machine output. Mekanism Unleashed is server required with the client optional, under the MIT License, and raises the upgrade limits.
