Quadz adds flyable FPV drones to Minecraft using the Fabric Modloader and API. It also makes use of several libraries including Rayon, a rigid body simulation library for minecraft, which was developed with this mod in mind. Another library it uses is called Lattice which allows chunks to be loaded around the player's camera instead of just the player itself.

This mod began in late 2018 as a fun side project. Originally, it was just BlueVista developing it on his own whenever he had time. The original codebase was written to work with Forge but was later changed to Fabric due to its ease of use and other benefits. It wasn't until May 2020 during COVID-19 lockdown that this mod began to take shape, and the first release came the following September.
The old forge repository can be found here.
In order to use this mod, you'll have to download a few other things as well:
The following dependencies allow you to configure Quadz using its config screen. If you don't install these, you won't be able to change your controller or camera settings.
The following mods are incompatible with Quadz at the moment but will hopefully work later on in development.
We have a wiki now! It contains a list of known controller mappings. It can be found here.
