Neural Exosuit

Neural Exosuit

BETA — The mod is fully playable, but balance may still change and multiplayer has not been fully tested yet. Please report bugs in the comments!

A high-tech modular armor for NeoForge. Craft a neural band, wear it on your head, press V and the full exosuit deploys around you, plate by plate.

✅## Supported Versions

• Minecraft 26.1.2 · NeoForge — Tested with All the Mods 11 (ATM11).
• Minecraft 1.21.1 · NeoForge · Java 21 — Beta backport of Neural Exosuit 0.40.3.47, tested in single-player with NeoForge 21.1.259. ATM10 and multiplayer are still untested, so you may encounter bugs.

Both builds are listed in the Files tab. If you run into an issue, please include your Minecraft version, NeoForge version, and modpack name if applicable.

Why this mod?

I always wanted a mod like this: an armor that becomes part of you instead of just four pieces in your inventory slots. Something that adds real fun — flying over your base, grappling up a cliff, watching your visor light up — without being overpowered. Everything runs on energy and fuel, and has to be earned.

Let’s be honest: we’ve all dreamed of being Iron Man at least once. 🚀

Features

• 6 armors, 6 visors: ORIGIN, HELIOS, VIGIL, ASTRA, SPECTRE and ZENITH (chest-worn core with articulated wings). Each armor has its own helmet visor frame, with an optional digital visor effect.
• ORACLE, the helmet AI: voice lines in English and French (deployment, low energy, shield, grapple, charging…), plus ORACLE’s Manual, an in-game guide.
• Helmet HUD: altitude, vertical speed, compass with base/target markers, position panel, block & mob scanner, armor status, energy, fuel and Aegis gauges. Sits under minimaps and Jade.
• Central Reactor (I → III): the armor’s only power source. It never recharges by itself: use stations, solar or your Backup Cell when you’re far from base.
• Flight: jetpack (bursts → hover → boost), upward dash, and glide with retractable wings when you’re out of fuel. Jetpack and dash burn FE + fuel.
• Propellant plasma: a new glowing fluid.
  • The Refiner turns lava + blaze powder + FE into plasma, with hopper automation and per-face pipe configuration (works with any mod’s pipes).
  • Carry it in reusable Fuel Capsules.
• Armor Station, Accessory Dock, Recharge Pad: store, display, recharge and refuel your armor automatically. Hook them to the Hybrid Cable (energy + plasma only).
• Workshop: customize neons, jetpack flames, glide wings, HUD tint and hull tint with dyes. Save 3 presets. Other players see your colors.
• Upgrade chips (rank I → III) per armor piece:
  • Head: Night Vision, Scanner, Water Breathing, Solar Cell
  • Torso: Jetpack, Shield, Aegis (blue energy hearts), Energy Cell
  • Legs: Sprint, Jump, Anchor (knockback resistance)
  • Feet: Water Walking
• Gauntlet tools: install your own pickaxe, shovel, axe and sword in the armor and project them from the gauntlet. Their enchantments stay active (Fortune, Silk Touch, Efficiency, Sharpness…).
• Grapple launcher: pull small creatures to you, get towed by big ones.
• Energy (FE): Energy Cube (4M FE), Solar Panel, Recharge Pad, Energy and Hybrid Cables. Works with any FE mod (Powah, Mekanism…).
• Advancements, a server config for balancing (costs, speeds, glide, fuel, reactor capacity), and the option to hide your skin’s outer layers under the armor.
• One neural system at a time: no other armor can be worn alongside it.
• Full English and French translation.

Progression

Circuit → Neural Matrix (Nether quartz, amethyst, diamond) → ORIGIN Neural Band → Central Reactor I (the armor won’t work without it) → change armor with a dye in a crafting table (modules and energy are kept) → ZENITH at a smithing table (phantom membrane + band + diamond) → Reactor II / III for more capacity and higher module ranks.

Then: Refiner and Fuel Capsules for the jetpack, Armor Stations and Hybrid Cables for an automated base, and the Workshop to make it yours. Fast to get started, but not free.

About AI

Part of this mod was made with the help of AI (some code, some textures and models, the visor frame artwork, and ORACLE’s voice, generated with Microsoft Azure Speech). Everything was then tested, tuned and assembled by hand in-game. Mentioned here for transparency, for the purists. 🙂

J’ai toujours voulu un mod comme ça : une armure qui fait vraiment partie de soi, qui ajoute du fun sans être abusée. Et puis avouons-le, on a tous rêvé d’être Iron Man au moins une fois. 🚀

Pour les puristes : une partie du mod (code, certaines textures et modèles, les cadres de visière et la voix d’ORACLE, générée avec Microsoft Azure Speech) a été réalisée avec l’aide de l’IA, puis testée, réglée et assemblée à la main en jeu.
