Morphology
The meaning 'a modification that increases power or performance' is directly compositional from 'power' (energy/performance) + 'mod' (modification), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the sense. Although 'mod' is informal/abbreviated, in gaming and technical contexts the noun phrase clearly denotes a modification related to power, making the expression predictable for a B1 learner.
Etymology
Power mod: The name power mod comes from people who change cars, gaming consoles, or other devices to give them more power, and mod is short for 'modification'. So today power mod means a change made 'to increase performance' or output.
