Supply Drops & Radio Tower

Radio tower structures, airdrop crates, flare guns and zombie wave events.

📡 Supply Drops & Radio Tower

What makes my mod different from other airdrop mods? Tbh the biggest difference is you can change almost everything in my mod. Other mods are not contain detailed customizable config and minigames.

🚧 Beta: This mod is still in beta. Bugs and balance changes are possible, please report anything you find.

The default settings may be a little weird, but almost everything can be changed from the config. If you will use it in your modpack, i recommend adjusting it before you add it.

Features

  • 2 kinds of airdrop: Locked Airdrop (zombie waves, best loot) and Medical Drop (lock picking, no waves)
  • Radio Tower structure that generates naturally, with 3 chests, a Fuse Box and a Signal Uplink on the roof
  • 2 minigames (Wire Matching and Lock Picking)
  • 6 defense waves by default, up to 70 zombies in the last wave. Modded mobs are supported
  • Flare Guns to call a drop to your position
  • Natural world events: drops fall on their own every few in-game days
  • HUD with direction indicator, wave status and a step-by-step tower guide
  • Highly customizable config
  • 2 different loot methods for airdrops (random loot pool and selection screen)

Airdrops

📦 Locked Airdrop

Locked Airdrop falling

Drop called with the Flare Gun, shown up to the moment it lands.

The crate falls from the sky and lands locked. Right click it to start the defense. Zombies come in waves and the crate only opens after you survive all of them.

🩹 Medical Drop

Medical Drop falling

Drop called with the Flare Gun, shown up to the moment it lands.

No zombies, no waves. The crate is locked behind a lock picking minigame. Click or press SPACE while the needle is in the green zone. You must catch 3 pins in a row. If you miss, you go back to the first pin and lose one of your 3 attempts. Each pin is faster and narrower than the last.

🗼 Radio Tower

Radio Tower

The tower in the video was recorded with all optional mods installed. Without them, some blocks are replaced with vanilla blocks.

This is the best way to get a Locked Airdrop. Steps:

  1. Find 2 Fuses. Search the 3 chests in the tower (one of them always has 2 Fuses) or craft them.
  2. Put the Fuses in the Fuse Box and finish the wire minigame. Don't move away from the box while the minigame is running, or the fuses blow and you get Nausea and Slowness.
  3. Climb to the roof and pull the lever on the Signal Uplink. The broadcast starts and the zombie waves arrive.
  4. Survive. A Locked Airdrop lands near the uplink.

The uplink needs 10 in-game days to recharge and every activation uses up the Fuse Box circuit, so it is an event, not a farm. The tower is also protected, its blocks can't be broken in survival.

If no tower generates in a new world, the mod places one about 1500 blocks from spawn. You can turn this off in the config.

🔌 Wire Matching (Fuse Box)

Wire mini-game

Match each colored wire on the left with its pair on the right. The right side is shuffled every time. If you win, the circuit powers up.

World Events

Drops also fall on their own. Defaults: a Medical Drop every 10 days, a Locked Airdrop every 15 days, only in the Overworld. Crates that nobody collects disappear after 20 minutes. All of this is configurable.

HUD

The HUD shows direction and distance to the drop, current wave, zombies remaining and time left. The tower guide tells you the next step. Position and visibility can be changed in the config.

Dependencies

Required

Mod Version Required on
Minecraft Forge 47+ (1.20.1) Client and server
GeckoLib 4.4+ Client and server

Optional

The tower was built with blocks from decoration mods. None of them are required. If a mod is missing, its blocks are replaced with vanilla blocks (or removed) and the tower still works the same. Install them if you want to see the tower as designed.

  • Doomsday Decoration (the most important one, 50+ blocks)
  • Heavy Bunker, Cuffed, Immersive Weathering, Minetraps, Simple Radio, Refurbished Furniture, Chisel, Immersive Engineering
  • JEI (info pages)

Block Fallbacks

If a decoration mod is not installed, its blocks are replaced with simple vanilla blocks, so the tower never breaks. You can change what each block turns into in the config (block_fallbacks section). Blocks of installed mods are never touched.

After editing, use /airdrop reload and then restart the server (or run /reload), because the game caches structures. Existing towers never change.

Config

The mod is highly customizable. Everything is in config/supplycrates. Apply changes with /airdrop reload. A broken file never crashes the game, defaults are used and your file is left untouched so you can fix it.

Custom Towers (Experimental)

This is not tested yet, bugs are possible.

Put a folder with your .nbt structure into config/supplycrates/customtowers/ and restart. The mod makes the worldgen files for you. You can add a tower.json for enabled, spacing, separation and weight, all optional.

FAQ

Can I use this in a modpack?
Yes, go ahead. Credit would be appreciated.

The tower has missing or strange blocks.
Normal without the optional mods. Install them or edit block_fallbacks.

I edited block_fallbacks but nothing changed.
Restart the server (or run /reload). Existing towers never change.

The uplink says it's recharging.
It needs 10 in-game days between uses. This is fixed and can't be changed in the config.

The Flare Gun disappears when I use it.
That is the default. Turn off consume_on_use in the flare_gun section.
