🐉 DRAGONMINEZ – BETTER DRAGON BALL COOLDOWNS

Better Dragon Ball Cooldowns is a DragonMineZ addon that completely improves how Dragon Ball cooldowns work.

No more weird cooldown behavior, no more being forced to stay inside the world for hours, and no more server-wide waiting unless you actually want it that way.

This addon gives you full control over Earth, Namekian and Super Dragon Ball cooldowns.

⚡ DEFAULT COOLDOWNS

By default:

• 🟠 Earth Dragon Balls: 24 Hours
• 🟢 Namekian Dragon Balls: 48 Hours
• 🔵 Super Dragon Balls: 72 Hours

The cooldown starts only after a successful wish.

👤 PERSONAL COOLDOWNS BY DEFAULT

By default, every player has their own cooldown.

That means:

Player A uses the Earth Dragon Balls
→ Player A gets a 24h cooldown

Player B can still use the Earth Dragon Balls immediately
→ Player B then gets their own separate 24h cooldown

This works independently for:

• Earth Dragon Balls
• Namekian Dragon Balls
• Super Dragon Balls

So one player does not automatically block everyone else.

🌍 OPTIONAL SHARED COOLDOWNS

Server owners can switch to a shared cooldown system at any time.

Use:

/dragonball scope shared

Now everyone shares the same cooldown for each Dragon Ball set.

Example:

One player uses Earth Dragon Balls
→ all players must now wait until the shared Earth cooldown is over

You can switch back with:

/dragonball scope personal

⏱️ REALTIME MODE

Default mode:

/dragonball timemode realtime

In Realtime mode, cooldowns continue even while you are offline.

Example:

You use the Earth Dragon Balls.

You have:

24h remaining

You leave Minecraft for 10 real hours.

When you come back:

about 14h remaining

The timer also continues when:

• Minecraft is closed
• the server is stopped
• nobody is online

Real time actually counts.

🎮 PLAYTIME MODE

You can also switch to:

/dragonball timemode playtime

In Playtime mode, cooldowns only decrease while players are actually playing.

If cooldown scope is PERSONAL:

→ your cooldown only decreases while you are online

If cooldown scope is SHARED:

→ the shared cooldown decreases as long as at least one player is online

This gives server owners much more control over progression speed.

🔄 FOUR DIFFERENT COOLDOWN STYLES

You can combine Scope and Time Mode however you want:

PERSONAL + REALTIME
Each player has their own cooldown and it keeps running while offline.

PERSONAL + PLAYTIME
Each player has their own cooldown and it only decreases while that player is online.

SHARED + REALTIME
Everyone shares the cooldown and it continues even when nobody is online.

SHARED + PLAYTIME
Everyone shares the cooldown and it only decreases while at least one player is online.

Default:

PERSONAL + REALTIME

🚫 NO MORE USELESS DRAGON SUMMONS

One of the biggest improvements:

If you are still on cooldown, the dragon is not summoned at all.

You will not:

• spawn Shenron for nothing
• spawn Porunga for nothing
• open Super Shenron wish menus while blocked
• lose Dragon Balls
• waste your time

Instead, you immediately get a message telling you how much time is left.

Example:

The Earth Dragon Balls are still recovering.
You must wait 13h 42m before summoning Shenron again.

🛠️ FULL ADMIN CONTROL

Server owners and OPs can fully control the cooldown system.

Check current cooldown:

/dragonball cooldown get earth
/dragonball cooldown get namek
/dragonball cooldown get super

Reset a cooldown:

/dragonball cooldown reset earth
/dragonball cooldown reset namek
/dragonball cooldown reset super

Set the current remaining cooldown:

/dragonball cooldown set earth 5m
/dragonball cooldown set namek 2h
/dragonball cooldown set super 30m

Change future default cooldown durations:

/dragonball duration set earth 24h
/dragonball duration set namek 48h
/dragonball duration set super 72h

Check the configured duration:

/dragonball duration get earth
/dragonball duration get namek
/dragonball duration get super

⌛ FLEXIBLE TIME FORMATS

Commands support easy time formats like:

30s
5m
2h
24h
72h
1d
2d
1h30m
2d12h

So you can tune cooldowns exactly how you want.

🌌 NOEA SUPPORT

Dragon Block Noea is supported.

Super Dragon Balls are fully integrated into the cooldown system.

That means:

• 72h default Super cooldown
• Personal or Shared mode
• Realtime or Playtime mode
• Cooldown protection before wish use
• Admin controls

Noea is optional.

The addon will still work without it.

➕ DRAGONMINEZ PLUS SUPPORT

DragonMineZ Plus is also supported.

Its Super Dragon Ball / Super Shenron system is also respected by Better Dragon Ball Cooldowns.

If both Noea and DragonMineZ Plus are installed, they use the same logical Super Dragon Ball cooldown system.

That means you cannot bypass the cooldown by simply switching between different Super Dragon Ball implementations.

🔗 COMPATIBILITY

Required:

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge
• Java 17
• DragonMineZ 2.1.3

Optional:

• Dragon Block Noea
• DragonMineZ Plus
• DragonMineZ – Better Dragon Balls

⭐ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I highly recommend using this addon together with my other DragonMineZ addons.

Especially:

DragonMineZ – Better Dragon Balls
Adds improved TP wishes, stronger Super Dragon Ball rewards, and progressive Potential Unlocks.

DragonMineZ – Battle Power TP Multiplier
Makes TP scaling depend on your Battle Power and keeps training rewarding even in the late game.

Together, these addons create a much better progression system:

Better wishes + better cooldowns + better TP scaling.
