Snipers and Spies

Mod that adds a sniper rifle, ghillie suit, thermal binoculars and a remote controlled surveillance drone to the game.

All items are currently available from the Creative inventory.

A fully animated 3D bolt-action rifle.

Hold right-click to aim through a 10× scope with a custom crosshair overlay.
Left-click while aiming to fire. Each shot hits instantly along your line of sight, up to 128 blocks away, for 10 hearts of damage.
5-round magazine. Firing on empty reloads automatically, and sneak + right-click reloads at any time.
Animated firing with recoil and a bullet ejecting from the chamber, plus an animated magazine reload.
Realistic carry poses: a two-handed aiming stance, a “low ready” stance at rest, and a prone hold while crawling.

Hold right-click to look through them at 6× zoom.
Thermal vision: the world turns into cold shades of blue, and living creatures in your line of sight (up to 128 blocks) glow as solid reddish-orange heat shapes. Undead mobs show up icy white, because they’re cold.
Camera-style view: a rounded frame with subtle TV static, scanlines and flicker, plus a blinking REC indicator, a rangefinder and a running time code.
Players hold them up to their eyes with both hands.

Right-click to launch it, and you instantly start flying it from its own camera.
Controls: WASD to move, Space and Shift to climb and descend, the mouse to look, and V to return to your body. The return key can be changed in Controls.
Your body stays exactly where you left it while you fly, and it’s still vulnerable. If you’re attacked, you snap back.
96-block signal range. The camera feed gets noisier near the edge, and a WEAK SIGNAL warning appears.
4 health points, with a solid hitbox. It can be shot down and drops back as an item when destroyed.
Right-click it to fly it again, or sneak + right-click to pick it up. Only its owner can control or collect it.
Spinning animated fans and a gentle hover.

Three pieces: a Ghillie Hood, Ghillie Jacket and Ghillie Trousers, with light, leather-like protection.
Changes colour automatically to match the biome you’re in:
- Green: forests, plains and jungles
- Tan: deserts, badlands and beaches
- White: snowy and icy biomes
- Dark olive: swamps, dark forests and caves
- Dark red: the Nether
Worn over your own skin, and the hood leaves your face visible.

Press Left Ctrl to toggle a prone crawl, using Minecraft’s own crawling pose. You fit through one-block gaps and stay crawling if there’s no room to stand.
Note: to avoid a key clash, the mod unbinds Sprint from Left Ctrl on first launch. You can still sprint by double-tapping W, or rebind Sprint in Controls.

Install on both the client and the server. The mod has features on both sides, and it works in singleplayer and multiplayer.

The binoculars’ blue thermal colouring uses a vanilla-style post-processing effect. It may not display correctly alongside shader mods.
No crafting recipes yet. All items are in the Creative tabs (Combat, and Tools & Utilities).
