🎮 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
