🧬 DotRaces

DotRaces is a modular RPG race system for Minecraft designed to give players meaningful racial differences without locking them into a specific class or playstyle.

Races are intended to provide small but meaningful advantages that complement the player's build rather than completely determine it.

🧬 Current Races

The current version includes 2 default races:

🧑 Human

A versatile race with balanced characteristics and no extreme specialization.

🧝 Elf

A more specialized race with its own racial bonuses.

The current racial bonuses use vanilla Minecraft attributes, such as:

• ❤️ Additional health
• ⚔️ Additional damage
• Other vanilla attribute-based bonuses

The exact bonuses may be expanded and balanced as development continues.

📊 Optional DotStats Integration

DotRaces has an optional dependency on DotStats.

When DotStats is installed, races can provide additional bonuses that interact directly with the DotStats progression system.

For example, a race may provide:

• 📈 Increased DotStats XP gain
• 💪 Stat-specific multipliers
• Other future interactions with the DotStats system

One current example is a racial bonus that provides 10% increased DotStats XP gain and a 1.1× multiplier to Strength.

This means the same race can have additional depth when used alongside DotStats, while still functioning normally without it.

⚔️ Race ≠ Class

Choosing a race is not intended to lock you into a particular playstyle.

An Elf can become a warrior.

A Human can become a mage.

Your stats, skills, equipment, and future systems will determine how your character develops.

Races simply provide their own characteristics and advantages.

🚧 Still in Development

DotRaces is currently an early/basic release.

Planned development may include:

• More playable races
• More unique racial mechanics
• Additional racial traits
• Better integration with DotStats
• Integration with DotSkills
• Integration with DotTraits
• Integration with future magic systems
• Racial interactions with NPCs and other intelligent races

The current version is primarily focused on establishing the core race system and API.

💬 Feedback

DotRaces is still being developed, so feedback, balance suggestions, and ideas for interesting races are welcome!

The goal isn't simply to make higher-tier races stronger, but to make different races feel unique and worth playing.
