SBW Ping from Drone Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using pings while flying a drone?
Equip a drone from Superb Warfare and enter its camera view. Once you're looking through the drone camera, you can use your ping keybind (default is usually a mouse button or key you set in Ping Wheel) to mark locations on the map just like you would on foot.
Do I need Ping Wheel mod installed for this to work?
Yes, SBW Ping from Drone Mod is designed to work with Ping Wheel mod. Make sure both mods are installed and enabled for the ping system to function while flying drones.
Can I use pings with all drone types from Superb Warfare?
The mod supports drones from Superb Warfare that have a camera interface. If you can view through a drone's camera, you should be able to ping from it.
Why can't I ping while in drone camera mode?
Check that both Superb Warfare and Ping Wheel mods are installed and up to date. Also verify your ping keybind is set correctly in your controls settings—it may conflict with drone camera controls.
Do ping markers show up for my teammates when I mark them from a drone?
Yes, ping markers placed from drone camera are visible to all players on the server or in your world, just like pings placed on the ground.
Can I see other players' ping markers through the drone camera?
Yes, ping markers placed by you or teammates will display in the drone camera view, making it easy to coordinate targets and locations while flying.
Does this mod work with multiplayer servers?
Yes, the mod works in multiplayer. All players with the mod installed can ping and see markers from drone cameras on the same server.
What should I do if pings aren't appearing in my drone camera?
Make sure Ping Wheel is installed and that you've actually placed pings (they won't show if none exist). If still missing, try reloading your world or checking that both mods are compatible with your Minecraft version.
Can I customize the ping marker appearance in drone camera?
Ping marker appearance is controlled by Ping Wheel mod settings, not by this mod. Adjust your Ping Wheel configuration if you want to change how markers look.
Does using pings from a drone affect performance?
Pinging from drone camera should have minimal performance impact since it uses the same ping system as ground-level pings. If you experience lag, it's more likely from rendering the drone camera view itself.
