RC Vehicles
RC Vehicles lets players build remote-controlled cars, planes, boats and helicopters from parts, then drive each one with a remote and a first-person camera.
What it does
Vehicles are assembled from frames, wheels, wings, rotors, pontoons, engines and seats. Frames set the structure and weight, and bigger builds are heavier. A rotor lets a craft hover and climb, a wing gives lift for flight, and pontoons allow floating on water. Each extra wheel turns sharper, and each added engine raises speed. Cargo blocks add storage for hauling goods. The assemble step reports what fuel and parts a vehicle still needs, and a wrench disassembles a vehicle to return its parts.
A seat is required so a player can ride and control a vehicle. The remote runs on a battery whose durability drains while driving, and it accepts Unbreaking and Mending. It has limited range, so a vehicle sent too far loses signal. Press V to cycle between first-person and third-person views. The mod requires Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11.
Key features
Five vehicle types
Cars, planes, boats and helicopters can all be built from parts, along with any custom assembled design.
Remote control with camera
A bindable remote steers each vehicle, and the view switches to a first-person camera from the vehicle.
Assembly and disassembly
A status readout shows what a vehicle needs before it runs, and a wrench takes it apart to recover the parts.
Survival crafting
The paintbrush is craftable in survival, so players can begin building right away.
