FPV Drone

by GSV

FPV Drone lets a player fly a tactical quadcopter and see the world through its camera, with a heads-up display showing its condition.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Once a drone is linked through the Drone Controller, the camera switches to the drone's point of view and the player steers it from there. The mod adds a custom heads-up display that reports location, hull integrity, battery level, signal strength and payload status in real time. The drone cannot fly forever: battery charge runs down, and past about 100 blocks from the pilot the video feed begins to degrade with static and glitching, followed by a WEAK SIGNAL warning. The mod is for players who want aerial scouting, exploration or dropping explosives on targets, and it is built around these systems rather than around combat stats.

The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, with a single game version: 1.20.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source, and the first file appeared on 2026-02-24, the same day the mod was last updated.

Key features

  1. First-person drone camera

    Linking a drone to the controller moves the view to the drone, so the pilot sees what the quadcopter sees.

  2. Telemetry heads-up display

    A custom display shows exact coordinates, percentage hull health, remaining battery and connection quality.

  3. Signal range limit

    The video feed weakens as the drone moves past about 100 blocks from the pilot, with visual static and a warning.

  4. Battery and payload

    Battery drains during flight, and a payload status shows when a bomb is armed and ready to drop.

Questions

Does FPV Drone need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside FPV Drone on Fabric 1.20.1.

Does the server need FPV Drone?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

What happens when the drone flies too far?

Past about 100 blocks from the pilot the video feed begins to degrade, and a WEAK SIGNAL warning appears once the signal is lost.

Which game versions does FPV Drone support?

The mod has a Fabric file for 1.20.1 only.
