MekasuitXMagic
by luipebarreto
MekasuitXMagic is a server-side compatibility mod that lets magical attacks from Mekanism Cataclysm interact with the Mekanism Mekasuit.
What it does
Magical attacks from the Cataclysm mods normally ignore the protection that a Mekasuit provides, which a player can notice when fighting a boss in a suit. This mod applies magic damage against the suit's protection instead, so the suit keeps its defensive role. The author's stated reason is that bypassing the suit would undo the purpose of progressing through Mekanism, such as building fission reactors, generating polonium and producing antimatter.
The mod works only with vanilla magic and Cataclysm magic, and it charges the suit for magical hits. Magic consumes 150 times more energy than the suit normally uses, so a suit with energy upgrades loses a set amount per piece when struck by a boss like the Ender Guardian, which removes 4% to 5% of stored energy. Because only the server runs the logic, players join without installing anything.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, with the latest Forge file for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file for 1.21.11.
Key features
Magic applied against suit protection
Magical attacks from Cataclysm bosses are reduced by the Mekasuit's protection rather than passing through it.
Energy cost for magic hits
Each magical hit draws energy from the suit at 150 times the normal rate, so energy upgrades matter during boss fights.
Vanilla and Cataclysm magic support
The compatibility covers vanilla magic and Cataclysm magic, and no other magic source is changed.
Progression kept intact
The suit remains a meaningful stage in Mekanism progression, since boss magic no longer ignores it.

What the author says
This mod integrates magical attacks into the Mekanism suit. Magic isn't a big problem if you don't use mods that add it (like Cataclysm). But if you use Cataclysm and have tried to defeat a boss using the mekasuit, you probably noticed that… the attack simply ignores the suit's protection, which completely destroys…
