Universal Drone addon
The Universal Drone addon introduces an advanced automation system to Minecraft PE by providing players with configurable robotic helpers that can perform virtually any repetitive task in the game. These drones function as programmable assistants that can be assigned specific jobs like mining particular ores, harvesting wood, hunting mobs for loot, or farming crops - essentially automating the most time-consuming aspects of Minecraft survival and building projects.

The drone system operates through a sophisticated coordinate-based configuration system similar to WorldEdit tools. Players define work areas by setting two coordinate points that create an imaginary cube or rectangular zone where the drone will operate. This allows for precise control over where drones work, whether you want them to strip-mine a specific underground area, clear a forest section, or patrol a designated hunting ground for hostile mobs. The ability to create drone swarms means players can scale up their automation efforts by deploying multiple units across different areas or tasks simultaneously.
What makes this addon particularly powerful is its infrastructure support through the Antenna system, which serves as both a command center and a charging station for the drones. The Antenna allows remote control and status monitoring of drones, while also providing a power management system where drones can be recharged using resources like Redstone or Lapis Lazuli stored in adjacent chests. This creates a complete automation ecosystem where drones can operate semi-independently while being maintained and directed through a centralized control system.
The addon essentially transforms Minecraft from a manual labor-intensive game into one where players can focus on planning, designing, and managing automated systems, similar to industrial automation mods but simplified for mobile play. It's particularly valuable for large-scale projects where resource gathering would otherwise consume enormous amounts of time.
