About Mods
Realistic Airdrop is a mod characterized by realism and customizability for airdrops.
Inspired by the battle royale genre, this mod aims to replicate the complete airdrop system while ensuring it fits well within the Minecraft environment.
Main Features
This mod primarily includes three elements:
1.Global Airdrop Events
Mimicking the airdrop supply systems of Dying Light and ARK: Survival Evolved, airdrop events are randomly triggered on the map. By default, every 10 in-game days, an airdrop will be deployed within approximately 100 blocks of a player. The loot in the airdrop will change over time. (Players can customize this trigger process through a configuration file).
2.Players use a flare gun to summon airdrops.
This replicates the airdrop summoning process from PUBG, allowing players to customize the type of airdrop and its internal loot through resource packs.
3.Airdrop Theft System
Airdrops may attract hostile mobs. If the airdrop is not found within a timely manner (default is 2 minutes), hostile mobs will spawn near the airdrop. If the airdrop remains unfound for an extended period (default is 5 minutes), it will be stolen.
4.Airdrop Password System
This feature is a test implementation inspired by the airdrop system from Cyberpunk 2077, introduced in version 0.9.1. To enable it, the enablelock option must be turned on in the configuration file (default is off). When enabled, players will need to guess and enter the correct password to open the supply crate, which is randomly generated in survival mode. Creative mode players can directly access or change the password.
Mod Configuration
commands
1.Random Airdrop Command (Recommended)
/setairdrop random @r [height] [length] [drift] [blockid] [loottable] [true/false]
This command can only be used in the overworld.
- [height]: The flight height of the airdrop plane; recommended to be above 200. A lower height may cause the plane to crash into mountains.
- [length]: The distance the plane will fly. A larger number means the plane will appear from further away. Note that if you disable force loading, this value must be less than the loading distance * 16, otherwise the plane may spawn in unloaded chunks, leading to airdrop failure.
- [drift]: The distance the plane can deviate from the target.
- [blockid]: The registered name of the airdrop box, currently only "dyairdrop" and "dyairdrop" are allowed; otherwise, it will cause animation loading errors.
- [loottable]: The name of the loot table used for the airdrop.
- [true/false]: A logical parameter indicating whether this airdrop requires a password to unlock. This parameter is new in version 0.9.1 and can only be set to true for "dyairdrop"; otherwise, default to false.
Example:
/setairdrop random @r 200 262 100 "dyairdrop:airdroplarge" "minecraft:chests/bastion_bridge" false
This command randomly releases an unlocked large airdrop with a loot table of Bastion Bridge at a distance of 100 blocks from a random player, with a plane height of 200 meters and an initial flight distance of 262 meters.
2.Free Airdrop Command
/setairdrop free [x] [z] [height] [length] [blockid] [loottable] [true/false]
- [x]: The expected landing point's x-coordinate; must be a number.
- [z]: The expected landing point's z-coordinate; must be a number.
- [height]: The flight height of the airdrop plane; recommended to be above 200.
- [length]: The distance the plane will fly; larger numbers mean the plane will appear from further away. Note that if you disable force loading, this value must be less than loading distance * 16 to prevent spawning in unloaded chunks.
- [blockid]: The registered name of the airdrop box.
- [loottable]: The name of the loot table used for the airdrop.
- [true/false]: A logical parameter indicating whether this airdrop requires a password to unlock. This parameter is new in version 0.9.1 and can only be set to true for "dyairdrop"; otherwise, default to false
Example:
/setairdrop free 100 100 200 262 "dyairdrop:airdropsmall""minecraft:chests/bastion_bridge" false
This command drops an unlocked small airdrop with a loot table of Bastion Bridge at the coordinates [100, 100], with a plane height of 200 meters and a flight distance of 262 meters.
Performance Related
- Since the airdrop process involves entity events, it’s essential to ensure that all relevant chunks are force-loaded. By default, this mod will force-load the corresponding chunks, but this may occasionally disrupt chunks that have already been force-loaded using /forceload, which generally affects server players (as single-player games do not use force loading). Therefore, when using this mod on a server with established force-loaded chunks, please disable the force-load function in the performance section of the configuration file and ensure that the plane's flight length is strictly within loaded chunks.
- If you are using optimization mods that may reduce entity rendering distances, such as Rubidium, please note that this may make the airdrop invisible and should be turned off.
Author's Note
About Versions and Future Directions:
- Currently, the latest test version 0.9.1 has been released, which will be the final test version before the official launch of this mod! This update allows the mod to be played in survival mode without additional configuration, and the new commands enable players to customize any aspect of the mod!
- As this mod is still in beta testing, while the basic processes are complete, there may still be shortcomings in details. In particular, models, artwork, configuration files, and localization may have certain flaws, and your understanding is appreciated.
- This mod currently only supports version 1.20.1 and will be ported to higher versions as well as 1.18.2 in the future.
- The mod is very much looking forward to collaborating and interacting with other mods, and players are welcome to port it to versions below 1.18.2 on their own.
- In the future, this mod will continue to focus on lightweight design and high realism, working on more refined processes, more realistic models, and more interesting airdrops, so stay tuned!
- This mod has confirmed collaboration with Doomsday Survival Toolkit and Eternal Firearms Workshop: Zero, with versions coming soon.
