RC Toys
by nanorover59
With RC Toys, players drive remote-controlled cars and fly remote-controlled planes in modern Minecraft, steering them from a handheld controller item.
What it does
Remote-controlled toys come in two forms: RC cars and RC planes. A car steers forward, backward and sideways like a vehicle, and it can jump when it meets slab stairs or runs up a ramp at high speed. A plane gains speed on the ground, lifts off by pulling up, and can roll or climb and dive, with aerodynamic behavior that is loosely realistic and a throttle the player sets. Both are driven with a Remote Controller item that is crafted from ingredient items.
RC Toys draws heavily on the RC Mod by Sk3rpz from earlier Minecraft releases, filling a gap the modding community has largely left alone in recent years. It was made for the 2025 Modfest and fits its Toybox theme. Installation needs Fabric API on the Fabric loader.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it. It is published for Fabric only, in three game versions: 1.21.8, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11. The latest file is 1.1.3 for 1.21.11, released on 2026-01-11. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code is public.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want remote-controlled vehicles in survival or creative worlds, and server owners who run vehicle courses or event builds. Because the mod has to be installed on the server and by every player, it suits groups that agree on the same setup.

Amy's Industrious Mod is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.3, under the MIT License and open source, that runs on the client and server. Rc Creeper Mod is also a Fabric mod with the MIT License, but it is not open source and covers 1.21.10 – 1.21.11.

What the author says
Largely inspired by The RC Mod by Sk3rpz for older versions of the game, I felt like this fills a niche that has recieved little attention from the modding community in recent years and fits the 2025 Modfest: Toybox theme perfectly.
