Diligent Stalker

The mod revolves around stalkers, controllable entities that provide a remote perspective. Drone Stalker is a remote camera drone: the player's view moves into it, so biomes can be explored from a distance and caves can be seen through it. Its controls mimic Creative Mode flight. The Arrow Stalker is a retrieving stalker that collects arrows fired from bows and crossbows and brings them back. Both need Sugar Fuel, and without energy they become unusable. Players refuel them by sneak-interacting with sugar. The stalker's signal range is configurable, and beyond it the stalker becomes uncontrollable.

The stalkers have a barrel-sized internal inventory that opens on sneak-interact, and they automatically collect nearby dropped items. A unique HUD shows signal status, fuel level and the operator's direction and distance. Because the stalkers bypass chunk limits, they load and render the surrounding chunks regardless of the user's distance. Movement is slower, so chunks load less frequently.

Diligent Stalker is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 across eight release versions, and the environment is client and server. Installation requires Sugar Fuel, and the server and every player need the mod. Telepathic Maid requires it.
