🎮 FPV Control

Drones are controlled using a dedicated Drone Monitor.

To enter FPV mode and fly the drone, the player must wear FPV Goggles. This creates a proper first-person drone experience with dedicated controls, camera effects, and flight feedback.


🎒 Drone Inventories

Different drones have their own inventories.

Depending on the drone type, these inventories can be used for:

  • Batteries
  • Gasoline
  • Fiber-optic modules
  • Spotlights
  • Cargo
  • Explosive payloads
  • Rockets
  • Missiles
  • Drone upgrades

Each drone has its own supported items, modules, and functions.


⛽ Fuel System

Larger drones require fuel before they can operate.

The following drones use Gasoline Jerrycans:

  • LUCAS Drone
  • Geranium-2
  • Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2

Without enough gasoline, these drones cannot take off or continue flying.


🧵 Fiber-Optic Control

FPV drones can be equipped with a Fiber Optic Spool.

This allows the drone to be controlled through a physical fiber-optic cable instead of a normal wireless signal.

The cable:

  • Remains visible during flight
  • Follows the route traveled by the drone
  • Can be damaged or broken
  • Can remain visible after the drone is destroyed
  • Is visible as a spool or module on the drone
  • Can provide protection against certain types of signal jamming

Fiber-optic drones are therefore harder to disrupt electronically, but they depend on their physical cable connection.

🔦 Drone Modules

Drones can be upgraded with different modules and components.

Examples include:

  • Battery modules
  • Spotlight modules
  • Fiber Optic Spools
  • Fuel containers
  • Payload modules
  • Cargo upgrades
  • Other drone-specific components

Available slots and supported modules depend on the drone type.


📦 Delivery System

The Delivery Drone can carry an Extraction Crate underneath it.

The drone can:

  • Pick up a crate
  • Transport the crate to another location
  • Safely place the crate on the ground
  • Pick the same crate back up later
  • Fly toward specified coordinates

All items inside the Extraction Crate remain stored while it is being transported.


💥 Payload System

The Heavy Bomber Drone can drop explosive payloads from its inventory.

This allows players to choose which ammunition the drone carries and deploys during a mission.

Supported payloads can include:

  • Mines
  • Mortar ammunition
  • RPG rockets
  • C4
  • Javelin missiles

🚀 Missile System

The Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 can fire missiles stored inside its inventory.

The drone supports:

  • Yasin 105 TBG Missiles
  • Precision attacks
  • Long-range missions
  • Attacks using waypoint navigation

📍 Waypoints and Coordinates

Some drones can automatically travel toward specified coordinates or waypoints.

This system is used by drones such as:

  • Delivery Drone
  • Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2

Waypoints can be used for:

  • Automated transport flights
  • Attack routes
  • Reconnaissance missions
  • Supply locations
  • Return points

🕸️ Anti-Drone Nets

The mod adds multiple types of anti-drone defenses:

  • Anti-Drone Net
  • Anti-Drone Net Panel
  • Anti-Drone Net Carpet

These nets can block, trap, or damage drones that collide with them.

They are ideal for:

  • Vehicle protection
  • Base defense
  • Covered positions
  • Checkpoints
  • Important military installations

📐 Bulk Net Placement

Large anti-drone net structures do not need to be placed one block at a time.

Using the POS1/POS2 system, you can:

  1. Select the first position
  2. Select the second position
  3. View a preview of the selected area
  4. Confirm the placement
  5. Instantly place the full net structure

This system works with multiple anti-drone net types.


🚙 Vehicle Anti-Drone Net Upgrade

Vehicles can be equipped with a visible anti-drone net upgrade.

  • The net is rendered around the vehicle
  • It moves together with the vehicle
  • Other players can also see the net
  • Helps protect vehicles against low-flying drones
  • Works as a proper visible vehicle upgrade

📡 Drone Detection

The mod includes portable detection systems that can help players locate enemy drones.

Portable FPV Detector

  • Detects nearby drones
  • Provides distance and directional feedback
  • Helps locate hidden FPV drones
  • Useful for mobile anti-drone units

Signal Interceptor

A handheld scanner designed to detect drones and active signals.

  • Produces beeping sounds when a signal is detected
  • Feedback becomes stronger as the drone gets closer
  • Can help locate drones and active drone signals

📶 Jamming Systems

Multiple jammer systems can disrupt drones and their control signals.

The mod includes systems such as:

  • Drone Jammers
  • Radar Jammers
  • Jammer Towers
  • Portable jammer systems
  • Signal disruption mechanics

Depending on the configuration, jammers can:

  • Disrupt wireless drone control
  • Reduce the maximum control range
  • Completely block signals
  • Make drone control unstable
  • Disable drones or cause them to crash

Fiber-optic drones can react differently to jamming compared to wirelessly controlled drones.


🔊 Realistic Drone Audio

Each drone has its own external sounds and audio feedback.

The mod includes:

  • Propeller sounds
  • Fixed-wing engine sounds
  • Electric motor sounds
  • Explosion sounds
  • Impact sounds
  • Detection beeps
  • Jammer sounds
  • Unique audio for individual drone types

This makes drones easier to hear and identify from the ground.


💥 Damage, Crashes, and Explosions

Drones can:

  • Take damage
  • Be shot down
  • Lose control
  • Crash
  • Explode on impact
  • Detonate their payload
  • Be stopped by anti-drone nets
  • Be affected by jammer systems

Each drone has its own health, speed, weight, behavior, and explosive power.


⚙️ Extensive Configuration Menu

Many parts of the mod can be adjusted through the configuration menu.

Available settings can include:

  • Drone speed
  • Drone health
  • Fuel consumption
  • Wireless control range
  • Fiber-optic behavior
  • Jammer range
  • Radar detection
  • Spotlight strength
  • Weather effects
  • FPV Drone settings
  • New drone settings
  • Explosion strength
  • Payload behavior
  • Anti-drone systems

This allows the mod to be customized for survival, multiplayer, roleplay, or large-scale warfare servers.


📖 Crafting and JEI Support

The mod includes crafting recipes for drones, components, modules, weapons, and anti-drone equipment.

With JEI, players can easily see:

  • How drones are crafted
  • Which modules are available
  • Which fuel is required
  • Which payloads are supported
  • How detectors and jammers are crafted
