Digital Frontier
by partatoes
Digital Frontier brings computer-themed additions to Minecraft, drawn largely from the TRON franchise, including Old-School light cycles and a Light Runner.
What it does
Digital Frontier is a Fabric mod that adds vehicles and related content inspired by the TRON films and their computer-world setting. The author describes the goal as bringing computer-themed additions into the world, with more vehicles planned beyond the current light cycles and Light Runner. Fabric API must be installed alongside it.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so a multiplayer server and each player both need it. It is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.21 and 1.21.4, with 0.1.1+1.21.4 for 1.21.4 as the latest file, published on 2024-12-17. The first release came on 2024-06-27.
Key features
Old-School light cycles
Light cycles modeled on the vehicles from the TRON franchise can be ridden in the world.
Light Runner
A Light Runner vehicle joins the light cycles as a second computer-themed transport option.
More vehicles planned

Sci-fi builds in survival
Players building digital or grid-themed bases can use the vehicles as part of a computer-world setup.
Who it’s for: Players who want computer-themed vehicles in a Fabric world, and server owners who run TRON-inspired content for groups. Both the server and each player need the mod, with Fabric API installed on each side.
