Dragon Mine Z: Koala

Dragon Mine Z: Koala

Dragon Mine Z: Koala is a gameplay addon for Dragon Mine Z on Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge). It is a fork of DRAGON MINE Z: OVERHAUL by LirouMage (GPLv3), rebalanced and extended with new combat mechanics for the Koala Ball Z community.

It does NOT replace DMZ, it builds on top of it. No extra dependencies: just DMZ and Forge.

What Koala changes over Overhaul

⚡ SPD, focused on attack speed. SPD no longer boosts movement, swimming or flight speed. It keeps its core identity: higher SPD = faster attacks, while stacking STR makes your hits heavier and slower, pure attack-speed fencing. Sprinting still doesn’t drain hunger, and you can still run over water and lava, but only while sprinting with a high SPD level.

🛡️ PvP anti-one-shot damage cap. No single hit can wipe more than a configurable share of the victim’s maximum health (default 20%). The cap is applied inside DMZ’s mitigation step, which means it also governs two things that used to slip past it: Ki Protection now drains based on the capped damage instead of the raw hit, and the Friendly Fist sparring knockdown only triggers when the capped blow is genuinely lethal, no more activating friendly fist to one-shot people with giant hits. Ki techniques remain exempt from the cap.

💥 Piercing Ki Balls. Small, Medium and Giant Ball techniques no longer explode on the first impact. They drill through terrain and enemies for a few seconds (configurable), destroying blocks in their path and damaging everything they pass through, then they explode as usual.

🌊 Waves and Beams trap their victims. If a Wave or Beam damages you, you are locked inside the damage zone: no knockback, no escaping, held in place until the technique ends. Beams also no longer vanish when they hit a wall, they stay pinned there, dealing continuous damage for their full duration, and explode at the impact point when they expire.

🌀 Ki Interference. Getting damaged by any Ki ability disrupts your own Ki for 5 seconds (configurable): no sprinting, no Instant Transmission, no dashes. Flight still works, under DMZ’s normal Ki Slow.

🎯 Aimable multishot. Small/Medium Ball multishot now fires up to 5 projectiles launched one per second, each one aimed wherever you are looking at that moment, a real barrage you can steer, with the technique’s damage split between the balls.

Everything else from Overhaul is still here

The class system (Warrior, Berserker, Martial Artist, Speedster, Duelist and more), the reworked racial mechanics (canon Saiyan Zenkai, Majin Absorption, Frost Demon’s Dangerously Fast, Human Ki Boosting Body, Bio-Android Perfect DNA), Ki overcharge up to 400%, technique categories with equip limits, extra mob effects on custom techniques, the battle power rework and Ki Sense display, fusion cosmetics, and the server commands (/dmzkoala resetcooldowns).

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge
• Dragon Mine Z 2.1+ (built against 2.1.1b) and its dependencies (GeckoLib)
• ⚠️ If your modpack already has DMZ: Overhaul config files, delete the races config folder before starting the game (same note as the original addon)
• Do not install this together with DMZ: Overhaul, Koala replaces it
