Things to know before starting:
Once you will setup the drone using the Drone Installation kit (Crafting given below) it won't do anything other than sitting on the ground. You will be needed to power it up by feeding-in a Redstone Block. Once powered up, it would start to move around, don't worry, it would still stay in a 20 block radius to you, if it moves away that radius, it would get teleported to you or will follow you. If you don't want it to move anywhere and stay still in the air, right click or hold with a Controller (Crafting given below) and you will hear a pop, meaning it will stay still. do it again then it will again start following you. If it is none still (Still mode is not active) and you want it to come close to you, then simply hold a controller in your hand so all the nearby drones will come close to you. It can be healed using Redstone as well as Iron ingots if it is damaged.
