PlayerDrones
PlayerDrones gives players a craftable drone they can fly through the world to scout terrain from above, and it is delivered as a data pack.
What it does
A drone is made by crafting and then flown after the player is ready to take off. Pressing Left Shift for a moment exits drone mode and returns the player to normal control. Armor worn while piloting stays visible to other players, and removing it beforehand makes the pilot fully invisible. The mod is distributed as a data pack for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds for 1.21.2 – 1.21.4 and 1.1.0+mod for 1.21.4 as the latest file. The server needs it, but players may add it too.
Key features
Craftable drone
The drone is crafted from ordinary materials, so players earn the ability to fly it through normal play.
Scouting flight
Flying the drone lets players survey terrain and structures from above, a view that is hard to get on foot.
Exit drone mode
Holding Left Shift for a moment ends drone mode and gives control back to the player at once.
