[SW] Drone HUD++
by MrAkula
[SW] Drone HUD++ replaces the drone screen of Superb Warfare with an FPV interface built on analog signal behavior and live telemetry for pilots.
What it does
The mod overhauls how the drone screen looks and behaves in Superb Warfare. Instead of arcade-style overlays, the display shows an FPV view with analog signal interference, so a pilot has to read a noisy video feed to find targets. Automatic entity detection is disabled, which means reconnaissance depends on the pilot identifying targets by eye.
Telemetry is shown in real time: battery voltage, mAh consumption, GPS coordinates and the length of the current flight session. Entity markers are part of the interface but are not added automatically. The mod requires Superb Warfare, which provides the drone systems it extends, and it is published under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is not open source.
Files exist for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The latest files are version 2.1 for each loader, both dated 2026-09-06, and the mod was first published on 2026-03-01. It is a client-side only mod, so players install it and servers can run without it.
Key features
Analog FPV display
The drone view shows analog signal interference, so the video feed has static and noise as a pilot would see it.
Live flight telemetry
During a flight, the on-screen readout refreshes voltage, mAh draw, GPS position and elapsed session time.
Manual target recognition
Automatic entity detection is turned off, and reconnaissance relies on the pilot identifying targets in the video feed.
Simulation-style interface
Arcade elements are replaced with an interface that follows the behavior of real FPV equipment.

Use cases
Simulation-focused servers
Server owners who want Superb Warfare drones to feel closer to real FPV flying can install the HUD on the client side only.
Who it’s for: Players who run Superb Warfare drones and prefer a telemetry-heavy, deliberately difficult view over an assisted one. Each player installs it on their own client.
How it compares
Skyfront is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that needs both client and server, and it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. [SBW] Advanced CIWS is also open source, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 with the same client and server requirement. [SW] Drone HUD++ differs by being client-side only, so the server does not need it.
