FPV Drones
by marden14111
FPV Drones lets players fly a controllable first-person drone on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1, with WASD controls and a mouse-driven camera.
What it does
Once the drone is crafted and taken over, the player views the world through its camera and steers it with the keyboard and mouse. The flight model is meant to feel like a real first-person drone, with smooth WASD movement and a camera that follows the mouse. The drone can also strike the ground or a block and cause an explosion on impact.
The mod is a Transportation mod with Equipment and Technology tags. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.1. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
First-person drone view
The player sees the world from the drone's camera while flying, rather than from the character's position.
WASD flight controls
Movement uses the standard WASD keys, with the mouse controlling the camera direction.
Explosion on impact
The drone can detonate when it hits a surface, adding an explosive effect to flights.
Simple crafting recipe
The drone is made from ordinary materials with a short recipe, so it can be obtained early in a survival world.

Use cases
Exploring with a camera
Players can send the drone ahead of them to scout caves, valleys or buildings they cannot see from the ground.
Playing on a server
Because the environment is client and server, every player on a server running the mod can fly a drone together.
Who it’s for: Players of Minecraft 1.20.1 who want a drone they can pilot in first person, and server owners who want the same drones available to all players.
