Mod Wiki
Neon Lightning Drifter
Quickstart
- Craft a Drifter Frame and Spray Paint Can, then combine them into a Painted Drifter Body.
- Craft a Drifter Seat and two Drifter Wheels. Assemble the racer with the recipe below.
- Place the Neon Lightning Drifter on clear ground. Right-click any part of its placed build with an empty hand to turn it into a rideable racer and climb aboard.
- Drive with movement controls. Try steering left or right while moving to kick up tire smoke. Use your Sprint control to dismount.
Overview
Neon Lightning Drifter is a craftable ground racer built from several parts. Placing its item creates a display build; using that build launches the racer as a vehicle. The racer supports one rider, who can drive, drift, and remount it after getting off.
What It Adds
| Item | Use |
|---|---|
| Neon Lightning Drifter | Place the racer build, then use it to start driving. |
| Drifter Frame | Base for the painted body. |
| Spray Paint Can | Combine with a Drifter Frame to make a Painted Drifter Body. |
| Painted Drifter Body | Used to assemble the racer. |
| Drifter Seat | Used to assemble the racer. |
| Drifter Wheel | Used to assemble the racer; each craft makes two. |
| Metal Plate | A craftable metal part. |
How To Use
- Leave enough clear space around the placement spot for the build. It faces away from you when placed; blocked spots may prevent some parts from appearing.
- Right-click any part of the placed build to start the vehicle. The build disappears as you take the wheel.
- Movement controls drive the racer: forward travel is quickest, while reversing and moving sideways are slower. Your facing sets the heading.
- Move left or right while traveling to make smoky drifts.
- The HUD shows speed, heading, and altitude. The camera switches to third-person while riding and returns to your previous view when you dismount.
- Use your Sprint control to get off. Sneak does not dismount you. The parked vehicle stays in the world and can be mounted again by right-clicking it.
- The vehicle can carry one rider. Destroying it ejects the rider and drops a Neon Lightning Drifter item.
Crafting And Obtaining
Make the parts for the body and chassis, then assemble the racer. Each shortcode opens the recipe details; the racer recipe is shown below.
| Craft | Recipe |
|---|---|
| Drifter Frame | |
| Drifter Seat | |
| Drifter Wheels (2) | |
| Metal Plate | |
| Spray Paint Can | |
| Painted Drifter Body |
Use a Spray Paint Can and Drifter Frame to make the Painted Drifter Body. Then craft the racer from the Painted Drifter Body, Drifter Seat, and two Drifter Wheels:


Abilities And Mechanics
- While you steer left or right at speed, the rear tires produce clouds of smoke.
- The racer slows down when left unattended, so it will not keep moving at full pace after you dismount.
- The racer has gravity and travels along the ground; it is not a flying vehicle.
Progression And Strategy
Start with the frame and spray can, then make the painted body, seat, and wheels. Choose an open, level area for the first ride, and practice combining forward movement with left or right steering to carve drifts.
