Description:
Residue Drone Cross adds two powerful items, a new dangerous Overworld biome, a hostile flying enemy, and a set of environmental hazard mechanics. The mod rewards players who seek out its content with extraordinary combat and utility power, while the Residue biome creates a genuine survival challenge tied to a creeping slowness effect and aerial ambushes.
| Content | Type | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Murder Drones Cross | Weapon / Tool | Superpowered hand weapon with passive buffs |
| Aztec Death Whistle | Usable Item | Area-kill and loot-magnet tool |
| Bismuth Ingot | Crafting Material | Intermediate ingredient |
| Computer Scrap | Crafting Material | Gathered from deposits or crafted |
| Computer Scrap Deposit | Block | Surface ore block, mines to Computer Scrap |
| Murder Drone | Hostile Entity | Flying enemy; spawns naturally and from Residue buildup |
| Residue Biome | Biome | Eerie Overworld biome with hazardous Residue Drag mechanic |
Computer Scrap Deposit blocks appear on the surface and drop 1–2 Computer Scrap when mined with a pickaxe. You can also craft one scrap at a crafting table:






Craft at a crafting table from common materials:


Requires Computer Scraps, a Bismuth Ingot, iron ingots, and a stick:


Craft from obsidian, bone, and an amethyst shard:


Defeated Murder Drones drop 1–3 Computer Scrap or 1–2 iron ingots — useful for stocking up on Cross ingredients.
Simply hold the Cross in your main hand or offhand to gain all of the following continuously:
The Residue biome is a new eerie Overworld region with unsettling ambient sounds. It is also a survival hazard — the longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes.
Every 15 seconds while you are in the Residue biome, the game rolls a 50% chance to apply or increase the Residue Drag effect on you. Each stack of Residue Drag reduces your movement speed by 10%. Watch the action bar — it will tell you when residue builds up or when you resist a check.
If your effective movement speed is reduced below 25% of normal by Residue Drag stacks, a Murder Drone spawns on you at 100% chance (a cooldown prevents constant re-spawning). This is the biome's most dangerous consequence of lingering too long.
When a Murder Drone spawns due to Residue buildup, there is a 75% chance you gain the Fearful debuff, which:
All of these events — buildup, resisted checks, drone spawns, and Fearful — produce action bar or chat messages so you always know what is happening.
Early game: Head to the surface and look for Computer Scrap Deposit blocks. Mine them with any pickaxe. Once you have three scraps, craft your Bismuth Ingot and then the Murder Drones Cross as quickly as possible — its regeneration and absorption alone make surviving much easier.
Combat: The Cross deals 128 damage per hit and passively restores health, so most normal mobs are trivial. The Aztec Death Whistle is best saved for mob-dense situations or when you want to clear an area and collect all drops at once without fighting.
Residue Biome: Treat it as a timed raid zone. Enter to gather resources from deposits and fight Murder Drones for loot, but move quickly — each 15-second tick has a 50% chance to add another Residue Drag stack. If you start seeing buildup warnings, retreat before you are slowed enough to trigger a drone swarm. Holding the Murder Drones Cross before entering gives you the best chance of surviving a surprise drone encounter thanks to its regeneration and damage output.
Murder Drone: With 80 health and 12 attack damage, Murder Drones are not trivially killed without the Cross. They fly, can path over water, and pursue players aggressively within 32 blocks. The Cross makes quick work of them; without it, kite and use ranged weapons. Kills reward Computer Scrap and iron ingots for future crafting.
