Tech Ascension
Tech Ascension is a NeoForge technology mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds machines, augmentation cards, advanced tools and a stellar reactor.
What it does
Machines are the core of the mod. Compact blue-and-white machine interfaces carry four upgrade slots and show power levels in real time, and their sides can be configured to control which face accepts items or energy. Automation covers matter synthesis, where cards are encoded, and neural calibration for tuning the results. Mechanical and genetic energy form the ascension paths that players follow as the progression grows.
Augmentation works through five domains, each with tiered cards that add abilities to equipment and machines. Advanced tools and weapons take a four-slot armament setup, and a charging station keeps them powered. A fixed 9×9×11 stellar reactor runs on hydrogen plasma, with separate stellar fuel modes that change how it produces power. Void mineral proliferation is supported alongside ore tags, so modded ores from other packs can take part.
The mod has NeoForge as its only required dependency, so no other library is needed to start. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
Eternal Ascension targets NeoForge for 1.21.4, so it does not run on 1.21.1 alongside Tech Ascension. Stellar Depths is client-side only on NeoForge 1.21.1, so servers do not need it, while Tech Ascension must run on both sides. Grimoire Ascension is also client and server on NeoForge 1.21.1 but has a different focus, and it is All rights reserved like Tech Ascension.
