Dragon Block Unified

# Unified

**A story expansion for Dragon Mine Z.** Unified brings the sagas to life with custom-animated, fully voiced cutscenes for story missions. It also adds new quests, items and a hidden dimension, and rebalances progression so every system scales with where you are in the story.

## 🎬 Story Cutscenes & Quests

Cutscenes are the heart of Unified. Story saga missions come with custom cutscenes animated in-game, so the biggest moments of each saga play out right in front of you.

- Custom cutscenes for story saga missions, with more arriving in updates
- New custom quests and scenes alongside the main story
- Planned: NPC conversations and dialogue interactions

## 🧰 New Items

### ⏳ Time Ring
Any mob can drop a Time Ring. The chance rises inside Heat Zones (the higher the zone level, the higher the chance) and rises again for Elites. Zone Bosses and Planet Bosses drop one 50% of the time. Using it pulls you straight into a raid, so be ready. Clear the raid for TP and a chance at armor and other loot.

### 🌀 Unwinding Echo
Using it starts a boss fight. Win for a large TP payout.

### 🌱 Senzu Bean Plant
A Senzu Bean plant you can place in your world. Right-click it to harvest beans, and it regrows after every harvest.

### 🤖 Gero's Absorption Implants
*Humans and Androids only.* The implants change how Androids play:
- Your Ki now drains
- Stamina drain is no longer halved
- You can absorb energy from other fighters
- Absorbing blasts and Ki attacks grants a temporary stat boost

### 🔥 Hell Sigil
*Requires Dragon Block Noea.* You receive it when you enter Hell.

---

## 🌑 New Dimension: The Endless Echo

The Endless Echo is a hidden dimension, and finding it is up to you. Train against the special enemies inside. They drop an item you can use for extra TP.

## 🌍 Rebalanced Systems

Unified retunes systems from Dragon Mine Z and its companion mods so everything follows one story-based curve.

### 🌡️ Heat Zones
*Requires DMZ Combat Remade.* Heat Zones are back, and they now scale to you and your story progress:
- Zone 1: Saiyan Saga
- Zone 2: Frieza Saga
- Zone 3: Cell Saga
- Zone 4: Buu Saga
- Zone 5: End game

Enemies match each story point. Regular enemies give less TP than before, since there are now more ways to level. For big TP, hunt Elites and Zone Bosses.

### 🪐 Planets
*Requires Dragon Block Noea.* Planets and Heat Zones now share one scale:
- Tiers 1–2: Saiyan Saga
- Tiers 3–4: Frieza Saga
- Tiers 5–6: Android and Cell Sagas
- Tiers 7–8: Buu Saga and end game

Each bracket starts weaker than it ends. Starting the Cell Saga puts you around Tier 5, and finishing it puts you around Tier 6 until you reach early Buu Saga stats. Planets are balanced for parties. Solo is possible, but expect a fight. Conquering a planet below your level pays less TP.

### ☁️ Otherworld
When you die, you get a notification that King Kai has tasks for you. Visit him to earn TP while you wait. Tasks have a cooldown, so Otherworld can't be farmed, but the TP is worth the trip.

### ⛓️ Hell
Evil players now spend 5 minutes in Hell instead of 3. A special item gets you out immediately, but it has a 10-minute cooldown, so if you die again too soon you serve the full 5 minutes. Use it carefully: the warden may answer your call instead. [Note: Hell Warden fight now has custom cutscenes]

### ⏱️ Hyperbolic Time Chamber (Revamped)
- 30-minute sessions with a 12-hour cooldown
- Punching machines that measure your DPS
- Special missions from Mr. Popo that award a large TP boost

## 🔗 Better Together: Optional Companion Mods

Unified works with Dragon Mine Z alone. Each companion mod switches on extra Unified systems built around it:

- **Dragon Block Noea** enables planet scaling, Planet Boss, Hell Sigil, and future God form cutscenes
- **DMZ Combat Remade** enables story-scaled Heat Zones, Elites, Zone Bosses and Heat Zone. Combat Remade itself requires JourneyMap.

Run all three for the full Unified experience.

## 📦 Requirements & Installation

**Required**

- Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1
- Forge 47.4.10 or newer
- Java 17
- Dragon Mine Z 2.1.3 or newer, with its dependencies (GeckoLib, TerraBlender and Curios API)

**Optional**

- Dragon Block Noea
- DMZ Combat Remade (requires JourneyMap)

**How to install**

1. Install Dragon Mine Z and its dependencies. The CurseForge app handles this for you.
2. Add Unified, plus any optional companion mods you want.
3. Install Unified on both the client and the server. Players need it to see cutscenes.
4. Keep Unified and Dragon Mine Z versions matched between players and the server.
