There are 46,913,768,005,632 different drone combinations you can create!
Are companions with 2 legs and 2 arms too boring?
Are you sick of having just 36 inventory slots, but TOO MANY ITEMS TO CARRY?
Are you tired of not knowing if there are monsters around you when you are digging for 'em diamonds?
Do you want to have A FLYING ROBOT COMPANION THAT CAN SHOOT kind-of-LASER????
Then you need a CustomDrone!
---*---
This mod aims to add fully functioning drones to aid the lovely players (that's you) with all kinds of stuffs, from simple tasks like collecting dropped items, carrying items around like a flying backpack, and shooting at monsters to bizarre tasks like scanning the environment for ores and monsters, picking up mobs or even picking up yourself and fly around, and maybe one day teleport like an Enderman.
Or maybe you can start a race with your fellow friends to see who can fly a drone better and faster?
The possibilities are almost endless with drones. In fact, it goes around 46,913,768,005,632possible drones, down to the very specific abilities that you can install to each of your drone. And that number will continue to rise.

Thanks! This mod should be in my pack next update
I assume I don't need permission due to it being on the curse 3rd-party mod list.
Oh wait XD it's on curse and the list, wierd.

Soooo how much memory does this use to load? Because I ran out with it in a modpack with 165 mods.
And 4 gigs of ram.

BTW the crash is during model baking.

NVM! Updating to 1.0.3 fixed it somehow, maybe the model size changes? Dunno, and I was on a client so the server fix probably wasn't it.

And AFAIK because your mod is on curse you don't actually need to say whether or not it can be in a modpack, because of how curse downloads packs.
But wanted to let you know that it's in the pack next update.

Um, why do I have premium!?
What does "Complementary premium" mean?

My modpack that goes beyond Vanilla
Pretty much since the model is quite complicated to load at first but I dont know exactly how much it costs (yet?)
There are some minor tweaks but im not sure what fixed it either xD
I just wanted to be thorough
Will be glad to see this in a nice modpack
Idk, but it seems pretty common to get that
The mod needs better Docs and examples of how to ... .
How do you break the drone ? where is the hit box ?
how do you pick up stuff ? How do you get it to pick you up ?
Only a level 1 drone is available in creative , can you add the other 3 ?
So far I can fly the drone via the cross hair and I'm surprised I got the far . seriously you need a Doc page
