## What it is
Mekanism is an independent Minecraft mod adding high-tech machinery, energy systems, tiered factories, jetpacks, armor, and tools. It is written in Java, MIT-licensed, and offers an API via Maven for other mod developers.

## Use cases
- add industrial machinery and automation to a Minecraft world
- play with tiered energy storage and factories in Minecraft
- give players jetpacks, robots, and advanced armor in a modpack
- build a Minecraft modpack featuring tech progression
- develop another Minecraft mod using Mekanism's API

## When to choose
- you want a mature, feature-rich tech mod for modern Minecraft versions
- you need machinery, energy, and tiered upgrades that integrate with other mods
- you want an MIT-licensed mod that is safe to include in modpacks

## When to avoid
- you want vanilla-style gameplay without technology
- you play a Minecraft version the mod does not support
- you need a lightweight mod with minimal content
