DRAGON BALL RE

MINECRAFT FORGE MOD · 1.20.1

A complete reimagining of Dragon Ball combat in Minecraft — not a power-level simulator, but a real fighting experience built around mastery, endurance, and the thrill of pushing past your limits.

⚡ What is Dragon Ball RE?

Dragon Ball RE is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that brings the full Dragon Ball experience into the game — not as a collection of power boosts, but as a deep combat system where how you fight matters as much as how strong you are. Every transformation has real drawbacks. Every form rewards mastery. Endurance is your most valuable resource — and losing it means losing the fight.

🔥 Form Mastery System Every transformation has 5 mastery tiers. At Tier 0 you're unstable and draining fast. At Tier 4 the form is part of you — no drawbacks, passive bonuses, exclusive abilities.	💪 Endurance & Strain A two-bar endurance system — Active Stamina for moment-to-moment combat, Endurance Core for long-term fatigue. Push too hard and you collapse.	⚡ Kaioken Not a transformation — a direct endurance burn for a power spike. Use it too early and you collapse later. At x20 you take self-damage. Pure risk/reward.
🧬 6 Playable Races Saiyan, Frieza Race, Namekian, Android, Bio-Android, and Majin — each with a completely distinct transformation tree and identity.	📈 You Get Stronger by Fighting No generic XP grind. Use ki → your ki pool grows. Survive near death → your Vital Core increases. Fight stronger enemies → you adapt. Stay transformed at low HP → massive mastery gain.	⚔️ Skill-Based PvP Endurance is the equalizer. Strong players burn it faster. A weaker player who manages their resources and forces mistakes can absolutely win. Not just who has the highest form.

🔄 Transformation System

Every transformation in Dragon Ball RE is a gameplay state shift, not a stat multiplier. Forms change your moveset, your speed profile, your combo structure — and every one of them has a cost.

📊 MASTERY TIERS — Each form has its own independent 0→100 mastery bar

Tier 0 — Unstable	0 – 20%	Huge ki drain, endurance burns, aura flickers, risk of self-damage

Tier 1 — Controlled	20 – 40%	Stable activation, basic combos unlock, drain still significant

Tier 2 — Efficient	40 – 60%	Drain noticeably reduced, new form-specific abilities unlock

Tier 3 — Refined	60 – 85%	Minimal drawbacks, advanced combos, cancels and chains unlock

Tier 4 — Mastered	85 – 100%	No drawbacks. Passive bonuses outside form, unique aura, exclusive ultimate ability

Mastery is earned through performance — fighting while transformed under pressure, surviving near death, landing perfect dodges, using ki efficiently. There is no shortcut. Committing to a form is a real choice.

🧬 Races & Transformation Trees

⚡ Saiyan SSJ → SSJ2 → SSJ3 → SSJ God → SSB → Ultra Instinct (later). Zenkai growth — you get stronger by nearly dying. Great Ape and Oozaru forms planned post-rendering milestone.	❄️ Frieza Race Unique reverse progression — Suppression Forms limit your power mid-fight, unlocking True Form and then Golden Form at peak. Fastest race, highest lethality baseline.
🟢 Namekian Regeneration-focused identity. Mystic Namekian, Regeneration Form, and eventually Giant Form. Fuse with NPCs for permanent stat boosts.	🤖 Android No ki drain — Infinite Energy Mode is the core identity. Overclock for speed bursts, Barrier Core for constant defense. Never runs out of resources, but endurance is still a factor.
🧪 Bio-Android Cell-style Absorption Stages — Imperfect → Semi-Perfect → Perfect. Choose your Perfect Form path: Speed, Tank, or Ki-Specialist. Near-immortal Regeneration Core as a fallback.	👾 Majin Elastic body, extreme regeneration, high unpredictability. Pure Chaos Form at low mastery is nearly uncontrollable. Absorption mechanics and Controlled Majin form planned.

🥊 Combat System

📈 Progression — You Grow by Doing

Dragon Ball RE replaces generic XP grinding with a system where every action trains the right stat. There are four progression currencies, each earned in a completely different way:

Currency	How You Earn It	What It Unlocks
🔵 Combat XP	Winning fights, missions, training	Core stat upgrades
🔥 Mastery Points	Perfect dodges, beam clashes, aggressive combos	Ability upgrades, advanced versions
💢 Breakthrough Points	Near-death victories, beating stronger enemies	Transformations, stat cap removal
🌌 Potential Points	Story events, mentors, sacred locations	Raises your maximum possible power

⚔️ PvP — Endurance is the Equalizer

PvP is built around one rule: skill and endurance management decide the fight, not power level. Strong players burn their endurance faster. Kaioken becomes a terrifying gamble. Transformations can be interrupted mid-activation. A weaker player who outlasts you wins.

🎭 ARCHETYPE COUNTER SYSTEM

💥 Overwhelmer	Burns endurance fast, bonuses at low endurance	→ Weak to Phantom
👻 Phantom	Efficiency-focused, dodges and counters	→ Weak to Absorber
🧪 Absorber	Adapts mid-fight, recovers endurance by fighting	→ Weak to God Candidate
✨ God Candidate	Extremely efficient, minimal drain, hard to exhaust	→ Balanced, no hard counter
