Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader NeoForge1 build
Mod loader Forge1 build

⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · NeoForge ⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Our mod works great with these projects, we recommend installing them.:

[ME] Military equipment - Minecraft Mods - CurseForge

and

[SBW] Superb Warfare - Minecraft Mods - CurseForge

This mod allows you to create 3 new types of detectors that will help you identify approaching drones and bplas.

Feature of the work:
Create one of the 3 types of detectors
Turn it on by clicking the right mouse button
Ready! You can put the detector in any slot of the inventory and it will continue to work.

The technical side:
This mod is self-contained and does not require any dependencies. The recommended additions are described above.
After turning on the detector and approaching you, you will see a HUD on the bottom right and a characteristic electric sound that will be played more often when the drone approaches.

What is already there but is unstable:
Vertical and horizontal anti-drone networks have been added. After creating them on the workbench, you can place them in the world. When the drone comes into contact with the curtain, the drone will become entangled in the ropes and the operator will lose control of it, after which you can take the drone for yourself. You can safely walk and shoot through the network.
IMPORTANT: The network will not save you if the drone operator blows up the warhead in front of the grid!
