Name: Simply Airdrops
Author: Random_Visitor

Simply Airdrops schedules timed supply drops that land at intervals players can set, and a radio controller can trigger one by hand.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.8

What it does

Airdrop events fall on a timer, and each crate's contents come from loot tables defined in JSON. The configuration covers the interval between drops, the crate types and their loot, so server owners can adjust the event to suit their world. A radio controller lets a player start a drop manually whenever it is wanted.

The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, with the latest Forge file at 2.1.0 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file at 2.0.0 for 1.21.1. It needs Cloth Config API and Geckolib for its block models and settings screens. Client and server both need it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the code is open source.

Key features

Timed airdrop events
Drops arrive at configurable intervals, so supply runs follow a schedule set by the server.
Manual radio controller
A radio controller lets a player trigger an airdrop at any moment instead of waiting for the timer.
JSON loot tables
Crate types and their contents are defined in JSON files, which allows custom loot without code changes.
