Shaded War / FPV / SHAHED
by fullfud
Shaded War adds FPV drones, loitering munitions and electronic warfare systems for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge, with a Shahed-136 style strike weapon.
What it does
Players fly first-person-view drones with flight physics meant to feel closer to real aircraft handling, and can carry out long-range strikes with loitering munitions that circle a target area before a strike. Signal simulation sits at the centre of the design: remote control links can be disrupted by jamming, so operators have to manage range and interference while they fly.
The mod is aimed at players who want a military technology theme with a focus on signal behaviour and aerial combat, rather than a light weapons add-on. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the latest build is a beta.
Installation needs Forge for 1.20.1. The latest file, 2.4.0-BETA.309, was published on 2026-04-23 on the beta channel, and the author warns that the beta may contain bugs and recommends backing up worlds first. The source code is public, while the license is a custom one and the mod is not open source.
Key features
FPV drones
First-person-view drones that the player flies with physics aimed at a realistic feel, instead of simple scripted movement.
Loitering munitions
Long-range strike weapons modeled on the Shahed-136 concept, which keep circling a designated area until they hit a target.
Jamming and remote control
Signal simulation lets remote control links be jammed, so operators must consider interference when flying a drone.
Electronic warfare
Jamming and signal interference form the electronic warfare side of the mod, making control of drones a tactical problem.
