📖 DMZ Wiki

An in-game, current reference wiki for Dragon Mine Z — press a key, get every stat, race, skill, dimension, and item explained without leaving the game.

DMZ Wiki adds a full in-game wiki to any Dragon Mine Z install. Press F10 and browse a searchable, categorized reference covering Dragon Mine Z's characters, world, bestiary, and items — no browser tab, no outdated screenshot, no alt-tabbing mid-fight to check what a stat does.

It's built for three kinds of people, and does something real for each of them:

• 🛡️ Server owners running Dragon Mine Z who are tired of answering the same "how does X work" questions in chat.
• 🧑‍💻 Mod makers building their own Dragon Mine Z addons who want their content discoverable in the same wiki, with zero setup.
• ⚔️ Players who just want answers about DMZ without leaving the game.

🧭 How it works

DMZ Wiki doesn't ship a static, baked-in help screen. Every time you open the wiki, it builds the page list live by merging content from up to three places, so what you see is always current:

1. 📚 The 32 built-in DMZ articles, bundled inside DMZ Wiki itself.
2. 🧩 Pages contributed by your other Dragon Mine Z addons — read straight from each addon's own files, so any DMZ addon can add its own wiki section (see "For mod makers" below).
3. ✍️ Your own config/dmzwiki/ folder — a plain folder of Markdown files you control.

Those three layers stack like a resource pack. Your config/dmzwiki/ folder sits on top: a file you put there at the same name as a built-in or addon page replaces that page, and any brand-new file or folder you add there becomes a brand-new article or category. DMZ Wiki reads that folder but never overwrites it, so your edits are always safe — delete one of your custom files and the original underneath simply reappears.

Because everything is read fresh each time the wiki opens, there's nothing to install, migrate, or keep in sync. Update DMZ Wiki and the built-in articles update. Add or update a contributing addon and its pages update. Edit your own Markdown and it shows the next time you open the wiki — no rebuild, no restart.

✨ Features

📚 A real wiki, built in

Ships with 32 hand-written articles sourced from Dragon Mine Z's own official wiki, organized into four categories:

• Character — stats & attributes, races, player classes, skills & abilities, techniques, transformations & mastery, training points & mastery, fusions, weights, the gravity device.
• World — dimensions, Namek, the Sacred Planet, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Otherworld, structures, sagas, raids, dragons & wishes.
• Bestiary — wildlife, hostiles, NPCs, masters.
• Reference — menus, controls, items, armor, special weapons, enchantments, effects, commands.

🔍 Whole-wiki search

One search box on the home screen searches every category and article at once — matching page titles and the actual text inside them — not just whatever page you happen to be on.

✍️ Make it your own — edit the wiki like a resource pack

Your config/dmzwiki/ folder is a plain folder of Markdown files, and it's yours. Drop a file there at the same name as any built-in article and your version takes over; delete it and the original comes right back. Add brand-new files and folders and they become brand-new articles and categories. Open it in Notepad, edit, save, alt-tab back into the game — no rebuild, no restart. Perfect for a server owner who wants to sit server rules, custom command lists, or house lore right alongside the official DMZ reference.

🔗 Real wiki formatting

Headings, paragraphs, bullet lists, numbered lists, bold text, images, and two kinds of links:

• [[Article Title]] — link to any article or category by name, anywhere in the wiki, with optional custom label text.
• [label](path.md) — plain relative file links for the rare ambiguous case.

A broken image or a dead link never crashes the game — it just renders clearly as missing, so typos are obvious instead of silent.

🧩 Any DMZ addon can plug into it — zero dependency, zero API

This is the feature aimed squarely at mod makers. Another addon can ship its own wiki content — its own category, its own articles, its own images — and it appears in the player's wiki automatically whenever both mods are installed together, read live straight from that addon's own files. No dependency on this mod, no API to call, no Java code at all: just a manifest.txt and some Markdown files in the right folder inside your own mod's resources.

Since the pages are read live, updates just work: ship a new version of your addon and every player sees your latest articles immediately, and uninstalling your addon cleanly removes its pages. Players can still personalize on top — their own config/dmzwiki/ folder always wins — so nobody ends up stuck with an out-of-date copy of your content.

Full step-by-step instructions, with a complete worked example, ship in the mod itself (readable in-game, in the wiki's own "Contributing to the Wiki" category) and in CONTRIBUTING_WIKI_CONTENT.md on the project page. A live, working demo category is available by toggling one config option.

🖥️ Client-side only

Nothing to install on the server. Recommend it to your playerbase freely — it works whether or not the server operator runs it themselves, and it adds zero server-side load or dependency.

⌨️ Usage

Press F10 in-game to open the wiki. Fully rebindable from Controls > Key Binds > DMZ Wiki if F10 conflicts with something else in your modpack.

🧑‍💻 For mod makers — contribute your own content

Got a Dragon Mine Z addon and want it documented in the same wiki players already have open? Ship an assets/<your modid>/dmzwiki/ folder in your own jar — a manifest.txt plus your Markdown pages — and DMZ Wiki picks them up automatically whenever both mods are installed. No dependency, no API, no code.

See CONTIRUBTING_WIKI_CONTENT.md (or the in-game "Contributing to the Wiki" category) for the full guide — folder layout, the manifest.txt format, every supported Markdown feature explained with examples, a complete worked example mod from scratch, and exactly how the three content layers (your pages, DMZ Wiki's built-ins, and players' own overrides) stack together.

📋 Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge 47.4.10+
• Dragon Mine Z 2.1.3+ (required — DMZ Wiki is an addon for it, not a standalone mod)
• Client-side install (safe for servers to leave optional)
