Paojiao134's Airdrop
by Paojiao134
Paojiao134's Airdrop lets server owners and operators drop supply crates into a world, and each crate descends slowly from the sky to deliver its loot.
What it does
Players summon airdrop crates with flare guns, or an operator can summon one at their own position with a right-click. A crate descends slowly, taking about two minutes, and the contents come from a random loot pool chosen when the drop spawns. Each pool holds up to 27 item slots, and at least one pool must exist before drops can happen. Airdrops can also be scheduled so the server generates them automatically at set times of day, with a chance value 0.0 – 1.0 to control how often a scheduled drop actually appears. The mod checks world borders so crates always land inside them, and range restrictions can keep drops within chosen limits.
Commands need operator level 2 or higher. Loot pool configurations are stored with the world data and can be exported and shared. Changing the descent speed or the core airdrop entity requires editing the AirdropEntity.java source code, since that speed is fixed at about two minutes in the released builds. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 and the latest builds for 1.21.11. It runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Flare gun summons
Players call an airdrop crate by firing a flare gun, which brings the drop to their current area.
Custom loot pools
Each loot pool holds up to 27 item slots, and the mod picks one at random when an airdrop spawns.
Scheduled airdrops
The server can generate drops automatically at set in-game times, such as noon, with a configurable trigger chance.
Range and border checks
Crates are placed within world borders and can be limited to set ranges, so drops stay inside the playable area.
Shared loot configurations
Loot pool setups are saved with the world and can be exported to share with other servers.
