About this project
What does [SBW] Drone Warfare add?

🚁 [SBW] Drone Warfare - The best drone warefare mod!
1.21.1 & 1.20.1 fully works with 0.8.9 & 0.8.8 Final
[SBW] Drone Warfare is a large-scale drone warfare addon for Superb Warfare. It adds controllable FPV drones, attack drones, transport drones, bombers, missiles, fiber-optic control, anti-drone defenses, detection systems, jammers, and extensive configuration options.
From small and fast FPV drones to large UAVs carrying missiles, this mod turns Superb Warfare into a complete modern drone combat system. 💥
🚁 Available Drones
📹 FPV Drone
A small, fast, and highly maneuverable drone designed for scouting and close-range attacks.
Controlled through the Drone Monitor
Requires FPV Goggles to fly
Supports multiple upgrade modules
Can use batteries, spotlights, and fiber-optic spools
Has low health and can be destroyed quickly
Ideal for reconnaissance and fast strike missions

✈️ LUCAS Drone
A fast fixed-wing attack drone that flies like a small aircraft.
Uses dedicated LUCAS controls
Requires gasoline to operate
Designed for high-speed and long-range attacks
Intended as a one-way attack drone
The drone itself acts as the explosive weapon

📦 Delivery Drone
A transport drone designed for cargo, logistics, and extraction missions.
Can carry an Extraction Crate
Can place the crate on the ground
Can pick the same crate back up
Items inside the crate remain محفوظ and are not deleted
Can be sent to specified coordinates
Useful for supply drops, extraction, and logistics operations

💣 Glide Bomb ( Super heavy damage! )
A fully controllable gliding bomb.
Fly the bomb directly toward its target
Explodes on impact
Does not use separate payloads
The drone itself is the bomb
Produces a stronger explosion than the FPV Drone

🛩️ Heavy Bomber Drone
A large and heavily built drone designed to carry and drop explosive payloads.
Has its own payload inventory
High health
Larger, heavier, and less maneuverable than smaller drones
Can drop multiple types of explosives onto targets
Supported payloads include:
Anti-tank mines
Mortar payloads
RPG rockets
C4
Javelin missiles

🔥 Geranium-2
A fast and powerful loitering-munition and kamikaze drone.
Requires gasoline
Cannot carry separate payloads
The entire drone acts as the explosive
More powerful than the LUCAS Drone
Effective against vehicles, buildings, and fortified targets

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2
A large fixed-wing UAV designed for long-range missions.
Requires gasoline
Has its own inventory
Can carry and fire Yasin 105 TBG Missiles
Supports waypoint and coordinate commands
Suitable for reconnaissance and precision missile attacks

🎮 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:
Select the first position
Select the second position
View a preview of the selected area
Confirm the placement
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

Available settings can include:
Drone speed
Drone health
Fuel consumption
Wireless control range
Fiber-optic behavior
Jammer range
Radar detection
Spotlight strength
