Universal Drone Mod (1.21) – MCPE/Bedrock Mod

How does it work?

To start using a drone, you must first place a packaged drone block and interact with it, after which a small drone will appear.

When you interact with a drone, a multi-option menu opens where you can customize the tasks you want the drone to perform, order it to follow you, change the motion mode, open the camera, open the settings, or disassemble it.

Drone Options:

• Current Task: Here you can see the name and settings of the current drone task to reconfigure or cancel it.
• Tasks: Here you can see a list of all the tasks that can be performed by the drone.
• Simple tasks: In this option you can set up small tasks, such as sending a drone to a certain location, ordering it to pick up items from the chest, resetting inventory, and others.
• Follow player: In this option you can order him to follow you or not. (Drone teleports to you when it goes too far: set in drone settings)
• Flight mode and Walk mode: In this option you can change the drone's movement mode between flight and walking.
• Drone camera: By clicking on this option, you activate the drone camera so you can see yourself from its perspective.
• Settings: Here you can configure various parameters for the drone, such as its name and visibility, its recreation area, its owner, automatic flight and others. (The drone owner can be set up in the drone's settings to prevent other players from accessing its menu)
• Self-destruct: Here you can disassemble a drone. (You don't have to worry about accidentally tapping it because you need confirmation)

Antenna Options:

An antenna is a unit that can be configured to charge a drone’s battery and set new tasks for nearby drones.

The antenna options perform the same functions as the drone, but after you set up the task, you will be asked to set the drone search radius for the antenna and the frequency at which the signal is sent again.

Simple tasks will unlock some tasks that have been locked on the drone, such as charging the battery and others.

You can configure the owner of the antenna in the antenna settings, so that other players cannot access the antenna menu.

Antennas without an owner can issue commands only to drones without an owner, while owner-owned antennas can issue commands to both orphan drones and drones owned by the same owner as the antenna.

One of the most important tasks of the antenna is charging the drone battery. To do this, you need to enter the "Simple tasks" option, select the task "Charge the battery" and select the charging radius in the units.

Next, place a chest or other container near the antenna and place the redstone or lapis that will be consumed by the antenna, converting them into 1% of the charge.

Remote drone control:

An item that allows you to control a large group of drones at the same time.

To create a drone group, simply select the first option, enter the name you want, and then select the option with the name you specify.

Then select the "Add Drone" option, where you will see a list of nearby drones that do not belong to any swarm, that do not have an owner, or that belong to you.

Then select the drone options option and the same menu as all drones will open, only this time you will be able to give orders to the whole swarm.

Other functions:

Selection mode:

• A selection mode is a feature that you can activate using the Select Global Coordinates option in the Fill Location and Mine Location tasks.
• This is done to make it easier for players to select blocks and avoid using coordinates.
• (If this option is enabled, all other task settings will not be saved)

• After enabling the option and saving the settings, a message will appear in the player's action pane telling him to break the block to select the first position and then another to select the second. (Blocks will not actually break)

To select a rectangular or square area of blocks, you define two points. These two points represent the opposite angles of the area you want to highlight.

• From:

• To:

You can then break any block again to deselect it, or interact with a drone or swarm to place these coordinates on the selected task.

Drones that are involved in the task will move from left to right, indicating that they are in standby mode, and those that are not involved in the task will deny you access to their menu.

Durability of the drone:

• The drone has a life system equal to that of an iron golem, the more damage it takes, the more damage it damages its appearance.

• To fix it, just use iron bars on a drone in a crouch.

Drone battery:

• There is nothing much to say about the drone's battery, it simply decreases by 0.1% every two seconds if the drone moves or has an active task.
• When it falls below 10%, the drone will no longer be able to fly and will only be able to walk. When it reaches 0%, it will shut down and will not move or obey orders.

Drone inventory:

• The drone inventory is a small 5-slot container, this inventory is public, meaning that any player can access it even if they have an owner.
• To access the drone inventory, you need to sit down and interact with the drone.

Elements:

• Packed drone (drone box)
• Remote drone control (a device that allows you to manage drone groups)
• Drone control antenna (an antenna that can charge drone batteries and configure new tasks for nearby drones)

Available jobs:

• Extract blocks: Harvest
• Attack the mobs.
• Fill location: Crop cultivation
• Bring the mobs.
• Throttle nearby blocks.
• Collect items.
• Ore detector.
• Move items between chests.

Other, simpler tasks, such as moving to a location, saving inventory, retrieving items from a chest, and more, are available.
