NanoTiers
by Quirlox
NanoTiers is a Forge technology mod about exoskeletons, wearable suits that players obtain through a progression system.
What it does
The mod adds exoskeletons along with a progression system that players work through to obtain them. Two exoskeletons are available in the current build. The author notes that development was paused to learn Java and rewrite the mod from scratch, because MCreator could not properly implement the planned 0.7 update. The 0.6.7 file includes a portion of what is planned, and the author plans to add five different types of exoskeletons in a later release.
The author notes that the energy systems are being reworked, textures are being added, and many components are being finalized to complete the progression. The author describes the current build as having almost no bugs, but the mod is still in alpha. Installation needs only Forge, and the environment is client and server, so servers and every player need the mod. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source.
