Logistics Drones
by Guil12
Logistics Drones adds NeoForge drones that fly fixed routes between two containers and carry items back and forth between them without hoppers, minecart rails or redstone.
What it does
Once both points of a route are set, a drone picks items up at the input container, flies to the output container, drops them off and repeats the trip until its power runs out. Routes are set with a Remote Control: a drone is crafted, placed, and right-clicked with the remote to set its input and output containers. Two upgrade items can be slotted into a drone to boost it further, with a Speed Upgrade raising flight speed and a Capacity Upgrade increasing how many items it carries per trip.
Drones come in five tiers, from the free Stone Drone to the Netherite Drone, which is the fastest and highest-capacity. The Iron Drone and the tiers above it run on Forge Energy (FE) and need recharging, while the Stone Drone is slow and carries only a couple of items at a time. A dedicated charge station keeps drones powered, and a feed furnace generates FE from fuel for whichever drone is parked on the landing platform. Visual FE battery gauges show how much charge is left.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its files target 1.21.1 and 26.2, and it is distributed for NeoForge only.

Craft a drone, place it, then right-click it with a Remote Control to set an input and an output container. Once both points are…
