Seeker Drone
by Soul12
Seeker Drone is a Fabric Cursed mod that adds a throwable drone which locks onto the nearest creature after a right-click.
What it does
Throwing the drone starts a homing run. Once launched, it scans for the closest creature within a 10-block radius, locks onto it and closes in at high speed. On impact it detonates in a tightly focused 1-block explosion, aimed at dealing heavy damage to the target while limiting harm to what stands nearby.
If the drone finds no target or misses, it self-destructs 60 seconds after launch. Drones stack up to 16 per slot, so a player can carry a supply for boss fights, ambushes or controlled engagements. Installation needs only Fabric, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 and the latest build is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Automatic target lock
Within a 10-block radius, the drone picks out the closest creature and locks on by itself, so the player never has to aim.
Fast homing flight
After launch the drone tracks its locked target at high speed, so it reaches fast-moving creatures.
Precise 1-block explosion
Detonation is confined to a single block of radius, which keeps collateral damage low.
Self-destruct timer
A drone that has not hit anything within 60 seconds of launch destroys itself.
Stackable drones
Each slot holds up to 16 drones, so several can be carried in one stack.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Boss fights
Stacks of drones let a player strike a boss repeatedly from a distance without closing into melee range.
Ambushes
A drone launched at a creature the player has just spotted can start an engagement before the target reacts.
Who it’s for: Players who want tactical, precise combat in survival or adventure play, and players who prefer efficiency over chaos in their fights.
How it compares
TargetLock is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, and only the client needs it, so it does not change what the server runs. Buddy Drones is a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 mod for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server, so both sides need it. FPV Drone is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, and it also runs on client and server.
