Integration with Mekanism MekaSuit and Jetpacks (NeoForge, MC 1.21.1) #45
Description
Mekanism improves Elytra flight experience in multiple ways.
HDPE Reinforced Elytra is an Elytra with higher durability. Luckily, FlightAssistant already supports calculating durability percentage of it.
MekaSuit Bodyarmor is a chest plate that you can customize its functionality by installing modules.
Elytra Module provides Elytra functionality with rechargeable durability. It consumes FE while flying. When MekaSuit Bodyarmor runs out of FE, Elytra forcefully closes even in midair.
Jetpack Module provides thrust for Elytra flight, either installed as Elytra Module, or equipped separately in some way. It burns Hydrogen as a source of thrust, but it doesn't need any FE, unlike Elytra Module.
As I noted in #44, Elytra Slot allows you to use any Elytra (HDPE Reinforced or otherwise) alongside other Jetpacks like (Armored) Jetpack. These Jetpacks also provide thrust for Elytra flight by burning Hydrogen, given Elytra equipped in the Back slot provided by Curios API.
My suggestions are:
- Jetpack/MekaSuit Bodyarmor Fuel alert
- MekaSuit Bodyarmor FE storage alert
- Jetpack/MekaSuit Bodyarmor Thrust Integration as a replacement of fireworks
- Throttling and reverser support for thrust integration (low priority, likely require large changes on Mekanism side as well)
Mekanism and FlightAssistant are already unironically amazing together.
These additions will likely make this combo even greater.
