Logistics Drones

Automated item transport for Minecraft. Drones fly a fixed route between two containers and move items back and forth on their own — no hoppers, no minecart rails, no redstone contraptions.

How it works

Craft a drone, place it, then right-click it with a Remote Control to set an input and an output container. Once both points are set, the drone flies to the input, picks up items, flies to the output, drops them off, and repeats — forever, or until it runs out of power.

Drone tiers

Five tiers, each faster and stronger than the last:

  • Stone Drone — the free starter tier. No energy required, but slow and only carries a couple of items at a time.
  • Iron Drone — needs Forge Energy (FE) to fly, larger inventory.
  • Gold Drone — faster and roomier still.
  • Diamond Drone — a serious hauler for late-game bases.
  • Netherite Drone — the fastest and highest-capacity tier.

Every tier above Stone runs on FE and needs recharging.

Upgrades

Two upgrade items slot into a drone to boost it further:

  • Speed Upgrade — increases flight speed.
  • Capacity Upgrade — increases how many items the drone carries per trip.

Charge Station

A dedicated block for keeping powered drones topped up. Feed it any furnace fuel and it generates FE, which it feeds into whichever drone is parked on its landing platform.

  • Call Drone / Release Drone button — recall a drone to the station from anywhere on its route with one click. The drone lands, holds position, and stays parked — even once fully charged — until you press the button again to send it back to work. No more drones taking off mid-charge or bouncing on and off the pad.
  • Visual FE and battery gauges so you can see exactly how much fuel and charge are left.

Drone Manual

An in-game guide item (right-click to read) covering every mechanic above, so new players don't need to leave the game to learn the mod.
