The SpaceBalls (Planets)

[TheStarHawk]

Yesterday I was thought to myself “Hey, I want King Kai’s planet to be round (or at least as round as Minecraft allows)”, so I looked up an old gravity mod I used to use a couple years ago. StarMiner was the name, which sadly is now also the name of a crypto currency, so if ya Google it, you’ll find that first. Anyway, o was testing it with DBC and found that it works as it should, but JRMC’s flight mechanics don’t like the gravity changes and decidedly stick as if they were using normal gravity. While that may seem like a minor issue, which it is, I suppose, given the circumstances, it does rule out a possibility I longed for since you announced plans for one specific feature. Space.

Some people may dislike what I’m going to say next, but meh. I think instead of implementing Space into DBC, it should be it’s own mod, following the vein of the now dead StarMiner. “Why, though?”, some may ask. Well, let me tell give a few reasons, and if you’re not convinced, well, I can understand that.

1. It would flesh out Space more than being an empty void of death and despair by using unique gravity mechanics that create a new fighting experience.

2. It can draw more people into the community, because as big as DragonBall is, sci-fi junkies may outnumber us humble weebs and Saiyan-lovers. Now, you may think more people coming for a Space mod would distract from DBC, but I think it rather help shine a spotlight on Jin, making DBC more popular as well, due to it being his shining achievement in the Minecraft modding community.

3. Some of the best works of literature, art, and music have been umm “heavily inspired” by the work of others. I say that because I know Jin is doing this partially as a means to better his coding skills, and sometimes the best practice is to take what someone else has made and perfect it to be your own.

4. King Kai’s planet can be round, bootyful, and have it’s own functional gravitational field.

5. The ideas from StarMiner’s gravity can be combined with increased gravity to create Planets in Space that can be used for training (as well as King Kai’s planet, but now round and heavy, instead of just heavy).

6. Even as a standalone mod, if DBC is installed, if it ran a check to see if SpaceC (or SpaceBallsC, idc) is installed, it could still add DBC specific features, such as Frieda soldier patrols (random mob spawn on Planets, as well as ship spawns), and possibly Black Star DragonBalls if GT settings are activated. I would say Super DragonBalls, but I have no idea how one would move them to make a wish. Would be a cool planet to see though.

Well, I wanted 7 reasons, but I made that joke on another suggestion already. That’s all I got, adios.

As usual, your ideas are absolute genius. And with big enough planets, you could aim a large blast at the planet and if it was a strong enough blast the planet would start to deteriorate and explode after 5 minutes. some planets would just straight up explode though.

Also, since you’re such a legendary well of creativity, how about a group of really creative dudes who come up with great ideas comb the forums, looking for the absolute cream of the crop when it comes to mod ideas, and every week or so one of us makes a thread called ‘ideas of the week #1 (for the first thread)’ and I personally think we could all, as a community, pull this off.
