Swarm Drones
A one-tap swarm airdrop. Call in a heavy carrier that sweeps overhead and drops a swarm of **attack drones** and **ambient drones** — black clouds blot the sky, droning from every direction.

About this project
What does Swarm Drones add?
# Swarm Drones — Swarm Airdrop (Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge)
A one-tap swarm airdrop. Call in a heavy carrier that sweeps overhead and drops a swarm of **attack drones** and **ambient drones** — black clouds blot the sky, droning from every direction.
Author: **HE666zz** · License: **MIT**
## Features
**One-key call-in**: Use the「Swarm Drones」phone item. An 8-second countdown, then the carrier passes overhead and the swarm pours out of its tail like bees leaving the hive, then disperses.
**Attack drones**: Prioritize the hostile target nearest to the player, lock on, dive at speed and detonate in a hand-written realistic explosion. Kills count to the player.
**Ambient drones**: Tens-to-hundreds patrol across multiple altitudes, filling the sky with a "black clouds pressing on the city" pressure.
**Carrier**: Turbofan engine sound, night navigation lights, flare jettison before deployment, and a rumbling sky-thunder before the drop.
**Sky-wide audible drone hum**: after deployment, the whole sky drones continuously (procedurally synthesized low-frequency swarm sound).
**6 call-in announcement voices**: English / Chinese / Cute Girl / Cool Girl / Classical Chinese Male / English Female — configurable (default English).
**Head markers**: billboard diamond markers above attack drones; color (red/blue/yellow/purple/white/custom) and size configurable.
**In-game config screen**: adjust everything without editing JSON.
