🐉 DragonMineZ – Better Dragon Ball Cooldowns

⏳ Dragon Ball Cooldowns That Actually Survive Restarts

Have you ever used the Dragon Balls, restarted your server, logged out or closed your world and suddenly the cooldown behaved differently?

DragonMineZ – Better Dragon Ball Cooldowns introduces a complete persistent cooldown system for DragonMineZ.

Cooldowns can remain active across:

🔄 Server restarts

🚪 Player reconnects

💾 World reloads

🌙 Offline time

and much more.

🐲 Three Independent Dragon Ball Systems

Each Dragon Ball set has its own cooldown.

🌍 Earth Dragon Balls

Default cooldown:

24 Hours

🟢 Namekian Dragon Balls

Default cooldown:

48 Hours

🌌 Super Dragon Balls

Default cooldown:

72 Hours

Every duration can be changed by the server.

👤 Personal Cooldowns — Default

With PERSONAL mode, every player receives their own cooldown.

Example

Player A summons Shenron.

Player A now has a cooldown.

Player B can still collect the Dragon Balls and make their own wish.

This makes Dragon Balls much more practical on multiplayer servers where many players are progressing independently.

🌍 Shared Cooldowns

Want a more traditional system?

Switch to SHARED mode.

When one player uses a Dragon Ball set, the cooldown applies to everyone.

This makes the Dragon Balls feel like a shared server resource.

🕒 Realtime Mode — Default

REALTIME cooldowns use actual real-world time.

That means the timer continues even when:

🚪 You log out

🔄 The server restarts

💻 The server shuts down

🌙 The world stays offline

Example

Your Earth Dragon Ball cooldown is 24 hours.

You shut the server down for 20 hours.

When the server starts again, approximately 4 hours remain.

No artificial timer reset. ✅

🎮 Playtime Mode

Prefer cooldowns that only progress while playing?

Use PLAYTIME mode.

Instead of using the real-world clock, cooldown progression is connected to active game time.

This can be useful for servers that do not want players to simply wait offline.

💾 Persistent Cooldown Data

The addon saves important cooldown information with the world.

This includes:

Active cooldowns

Personal cooldown data

Shared cooldown data

Cooldown durations

Selected scope

Selected time mode

Timing information

Restarting Minecraft does not simply wipe the cooldown.

🔄 Safe Mode Switching

You can switch between supported cooldown modes without intentionally destroying the entire cooldown system.

The addon attempts to preserve meaningful remaining cooldown information whenever possible.

🚫 Cooldown Enforcement

Cooldown checks are integrated directly into the Dragon Ball system.

If a Dragon Ball set is still on cooldown, the addon prevents players from bypassing it simply by restarting or reconnecting.

Players can also receive information about how much cooldown time remains.

🛠️ Full Admin Control

Server operators get commands for managing the complete system.

Main Command

/dragonball

Alias

/dbcooldown

You can manage:

⏳ Remaining cooldowns

🔄 Cooldown resets

🕒 Manual cooldown values

⚙️ Default durations

👤 Personal mode

🌍 Shared mode

🕰️ Realtime mode

🎮 Playtime mode

⏱️ Easy Time Formats

Cooldown durations can use convenient formats such as:

5m → 5 minutes

2h → 2 hours

1d → 1 day

1d12h → 1 day and 12 hours

No need to calculate everything manually in ticks or seconds.

🐉 Dragon Block Noea Support

Dragon Block Noea is fully optional.

When Noea is installed, the addon can also work with its Super Dragon Ball / Super Shenron systems.

🌟 Noea 1.2.0 Super Shenron Compatibility

Noea introduced major changes to Super Shenron Immortality and Critical Recovery.

Better Dragon Ball Cooldowns is designed to remain separate from those mechanics.

It does not intentionally modify:

❤️ HP Recovery

🛡️ Critical Recovery protection

⏱️ The 10-second Critical Recovery cooldown

⚡ Ki behavior

🏃 Stamina behavior

💫 Stun clearing

♾️ Immortality itself

This addon is focused specifically on Dragon Ball and Wish cooldowns.

➕ DMZ Plus Support

DMZ Plus is optional.

Supported Super Dragon Ball systems can use the same persistent cooldown framework.

DMZ Plus does not need to be installed for the base mod to work.

🔗 Compatibility

⚠️ Future Compatibility

Newer Noea, DMZ Plus and DragonMineZ releases are intentionally not rejected only because their version number changed.

That means small addon updates should no longer automatically prevent Minecraft from starting.

Future versions can still introduce breaking internal changes, so absolute compatibility with every future release cannot be guaranteed.
