RC Vehicles

🚗 RC Vehicles

Remote-control vehicles for Minecraft. Drive, sail and fly them yourself, control them from a distance with a handheld remote — or build your own from parts.

🔧 Build Your Own

Place part blocks — Controller, Engine, Wheel, Wing, Rotor, Pontoon, Seat, Cargo, and Frame — then use the Wrench on the Controller to assemble them into a working vehicle. How you build it decides how it behaves:

• Rotor — hovers like a helicopter, up and down with your view
• Wing — flies like a plane: build up airspeed for lift, stall if you slow down
• Pontoon — floats on water
• Wheels — drives on land; more wheels turn sharper
• Engines — more engines, more speed
• Seat — required to ride, or control any build with the RC Remote
• Cargo — adds a storage crate you can haul goods in
• Frames — structure and weight; bigger builds are heavier

When you assemble a vehicle it tells you how to fuel it up, so you're never left wondering why it won't move. Wrench the vehicle again to disassemble it and get every part back.

🏎️ Four Prebuilt Vehicles

Prefer to just drive? Four ready-made vehicles are included:

• RC Car — climbs blocks and handles rough terrain
• RC Boat — floats and cuts through water, and crawls if you beach it
• RC Plane — realistic flight: build up airspeed to stay airborne, and stall if you slow down too much
• RC Helicopter — hovers in place, takes off vertically, and rotates on the spot. No stall speed

👥 Passengers

Vehicles carry more than just the driver now. Build with multiple Seats and passengers ride along at their own spots while the driver steers. Bring your friends — or your animals — along for the ride.

---

📦 Cargo

Add a Cargo block to your build and it becomes a crate on the vehicle with its own 27-slot inventory. Right-click the crate to open it, load it up, and haul your goods wherever you drive. The crate rides locked to the vehicle and turns with it, and its contents drop when you disassemble.

🎨 Paint & Customize

Make every vehicle yours. Craft a Paintbrush, right-click any vehicle, and design its look pixel by pixel in a full painter.

• Mix any color with RGB sliders, or grab one of 16 presets
• Paint, fill, and erase straight onto the vehicle's texture
• Undo and redo every change, zoom in for fine detail, and right-drag to pan around
• Part outlines mark out the body, cabin, wheels, and other sections so you know exactly what you're painting
• Toggle the base texture — paint over the original design, or start from a blank canvas
• Every design saves to that specific vehicle and is visible to everyone in multiplayer

Works on all five vehicles — car, plane, boat, helicopter, and your own assembled builds. The Paintbrush is craftable in survival and unlocked from the start.

📡 The Remote

Craft an RC Remote, then right-click any vehicle to bind to it. Right-click it again to disconnect. Once bound, you control that vehicle from a distance.

Press V to cycle the camera: first-person from the vehicle, third-person behind it, then back to yourself.

The remote runs on a battery — its durability drains while you're driving, and it accepts Unbreaking and Mending.

Like a real RC, the remote has a limited range. Send a vehicle too far and you'll lose the signal.

📊 Info HUD

Press H to bring up an on-screen readout for the vehicle you're looking at — a quick tooltip showing its stats and status at a glance. Works on every vehicle, both the prebuilt ones and your own custom builds.

---

⚙️ Settings

Press K to open the RC Vehicles settings screen. Adjust the engine volume to your taste, toggle item tooltips on or off, and reset everything to defaults. Your settings are personal — each player controls their own.

---

⛽ Fuel

Every vehicle runs on coal, charcoal, or blaze powder — right-click a vehicle with fuel to top it up. A newly built vehicle tells you to fuel it, warns you when it's running dry, and shows its fuel level each time you refuel.

---

🎮 Controls

• Right-click a vehicle with the remote — bind or disconnect
• W / S — throttle and brake
• A / D — turn
• Space / Shift — climb and dive (plane, helicopter, rotor builds)
• V — cycle camera
• H — show the info HUD
• K — open settings
• Wrench a Controller to assemble, or a vehicle to disassemble
• Paintbrush a vehicle to customize its look
• Right-click a Cargo crate on a vehicle to open its storage

🛠️ Crafting

Every vehicle, every part, the remote, the paintbrush, and the cargo container are crafted from common survival materials — iron, redstone, and more — and all recipes unlock in your recipe book automatically.
