About this Mod
About
Drone Works is a Minecraft Fabric 1.21.8 mod that adds smart agricultural drones to automate your farming.
Farming is relaxing... but repetitive.
With Drone Works, you can craft drones that automatically harvest your carrots, wheat, potatoes, and beets, letting you focus on building, exploring, or trading instead.
Simply craft a drone using the Box Block, link it to a Station, and it will harvest crops within a 10-block radius, automatically depositing everything into the station’s inventory.
Stations are fully Hopper-compatible, allowing complete automation.
Sit back, relax, and let your drones handle the hard work . ✨
