Getting Started

The beginning of Dragon Block C is very similar to vanilla Minecraft, getting food, building a shelter, and getting equipment. But there are a few differences that we will go over here.

## Spawning in

When you spawn into the world for the first time, everything will most likely look exactly like a regular minecraft world. If you were to wander off right now, nothing would be different than a standard vanilla playthrough.

In order to actually start playing the Dragon Block C mod, you will need to open your Character Sheet *(V by default)*. Once you have opened the Character Sheet, you will notice many buttons and your character might even shrink down if you are playing with the Jinryuu Years C mod.

From this point on, we will assume you are using the following mods:

**Dragon Block C**

**Years C**

**Family C**

You can download all these mods here

## Making Your Character

Once you have opened the Character Sheet, you have the option to pick between 5 different races:

**Humans**:
-A race with high stamina and ki, their attacks are on the weaker side however.
-Has 2 Transformations that get stronger as you level them up.

**Arcosians**:
-Known for their high defense and speed. Their attack power is about average.
-Has 2 Transformations, with the ability to give themselves a temporary boost at 100% power.

**Saiyans**:
-Saiyans have very low stamina and mediocre defense, but they have the strongest attacks in the game.
-Access to 8 different forms, that start small but become very powerful.

**Namekians**:
-Has low physical might, but with massive ki damage that surpasses all other races.
-Has 2 forms that get stronger as you level them up.

**Half-Saiyans**:
-Has a less extreme version of the Saiyan stat spread, with less strength but more stamina and defense.
-Access to the same transformations the Saiyans do.

You can find more detailed explanations of the various races on their respective pages.

Once your character is complete, you should click the next button. On the next page you will find something like this/

You must change the power type from Natural, to Ki. After that, you will get to select your class and ki color. There are 3 classes in Dragon Block C:

**Warrior**:
-The warrior class has the highest strength and health.
-You will start out with stats geared to close combat, and will gain more benefit from those stats.

**Spiritualist**:
-The spiritualist class has more ki and ki power than the other 2.
-You will start out with stats that are fit for ki control, and will gain more benefit from those stats.

**Martial Artist**:
-The martial artist class has a balance between strength and ki control.
-You will start out with a balanced stat spread, and will have a smaller bonus for both ki and physical stats.

Once you have chosen your class you can choose the color of your aura. Once chosen you should click the next button to reach the next page.

On this page you will get a summary of your character and their class:

This is your last chance to change your character as, aside from hair and hair color, none of this can be changed later. Once you are satisfied you can click the accept button to create your character.

## Character Menu

Once you have confirmed your character, you will notice some things will change.

A blue bar will be at the top left of your screen, as well as your health missing, and a red and yellow bar at the far right. This new red and yellow bar is representing your health(red) and stamina(yellow), and the blue bar up top is your ki. once you have memorized these you will need to open your Character Sheet once again.

You will notice this time the Character Sheet has been replaced with the Character Menu, along with many other icons along the bottom. For right now let's focus on the current page.

Currently, this page will show you many things:
-Your DBC Level
-The amount of Training Points (TP) you have
-Your Race and Gender
-Your Class
-Your Alignment
-Your current transformation
-Your Attributes
-Your current power release
-Your Statistics
-The Difficulty Menu
-The Help Menu
-The Client Settings

You will mainly be looking at your Attributes, and TP as you play Dragon Block C. So for now we will be going over those, starting with TP.

TP, short for Training Points, is how you will be leveling up your Attributes and acquiring new skills. TP is gained by punching other entities in the world, training in the training menu, or completing missions in the story. If you punch a mob you may notice nothing has happened to your TP, that is because you only have a 20% chance to gain TP per hit. This can be changed later but for now we will leave it as is.

Attributes are how you raise your stats, and in some cases acquire skills. You have 6 Attributes, these being:

**STR**:
Strength will increase your melee damage, the energy drain of all transformations as well as your stamina drain will increase with this stat.

**DEX**:
Dexterity increases your defense and speed, the amount your speed increases depends on your current Attribute Limit. The default limit is 500.

**CON**:
Constitution increases your Health and Stamina (called "Body" and "Action Time" in game). Keeping your Constitution higher than your Strength is highly recommended, otherwise you may run out of stamina mid-fight.

**WIL**:
Willpower will increase you ki power, which increases the damage your ki attacks will do.

**MND**:
Mind will increase the chance of gaining TP, as well as allow you to acquire skills. The amount that your TP Chance will increase depends on the Attribute Limit.

**SPI**:
Spirit is the measure of your Ki Pool, increasing this stat raises your ki.

You may notice another button bellow these 6 Attributes, that is the Upgrade Multiplier. If you click on it you will notice that it will go from x1 to x10, x100, and x1000. If you were to select x10 you would upgrade an Attribute 10 times instead of just once, it will also adjust the cost accordingly, this goes for the x100 and x1000 as well.

## Skills Menu

After learning the Character Menu, you will need to click the icon to the right of the character icon. This will bring you to the Skills Menu, where you can see which skills you have bought and level them up. For right now you will only have the Super Form skill at level 0, you can use 100TP and 5 Mind to purchase this skill later. Currently the only way to acquire more skills is to find a Master NPC and learn from them, different masters will give you different skills.

As you acquire more and more skills the page will start to fill up, at which point you can use the slider on the far right to scroll through all of your available skills. You can also delete skills to refund the Mind points you spent on them, you won't get the TP back however.

## Ki Attack Menu

Once you are familiar with the Skills Menu, you should navigate to the next menu over, the Ki Attack Menu.

You will see 4 "Create" buttons once you open this menu, these are the 4 slots you have to create your own custom ki attacks. If you click the create button you will be brought to the creation menu, but we won't go over that in this tutorial. If you were to click the next button at the top of the menu you will be brought to the learned attacks page, this is where you will find information about the ki attacks you have learned from the masters around the world.

## Training Menu

Once you have finished with the Ki Attack Menu you need to navigate to the Training Menu, which is right next to the Ki Attack Menu.

You will find 3 buttons here: Shadow Dummy, Concentration, and Battle Power. The first 2 are some of your training methods, while Battle Power is a cosmetic change to the BP reader on your Ki Bar. The first option, Shadow Dummy, will spawn a black humanoid with slightly higher stats than you. Shadow Dummy is not recommended, as the dummy will quickly reduce your health and despawn before you can get any substantial TP gain. Concentration is a minigame where you will click on blue orbs as they appear while avoiding the black and red orbs, this minigame will give you a set amount of TP which will reset every MC day.

## Story Menu

After finishing up with the Training Menu go to the next page over, which is the Story Menu.

When opening the Story Menu, you will notice that there is a greeting along with a next button at the bottom. Pressing the next button will start the story mode of Dragon Block C, which will give you missions to complete in exchange for TP. If you navigate the tabs at the top, you will notice the Side Quests are empty. Currently the default Dragon Block C saga has no sidequests, this tab is for custom sagas made by users. The Groups tab will allow you to create a party with other players, if you complete a mission with a party all party members will receive TP even if they didn't participate in the mission. Keep in mind that when you create a party the strength and/or number of enemies in the saga will increase by 50% for each party member.

## Client Settings

Once you have gotten used to the Story Menu, click on the gear to the left of your menu and open the Client Settings.

Here you will find a lot of customization options, most of which are self explanatory. There are multiple pages to the Client Setting Menu, it is recommended you look through them and adjust them to your liking. There is also a User Interface tab which will allow you to customize the position of your ki and health bars, it also allows the use of custom UIs if you have downloaded any.

## Help Menu

After you have customized your settings, go back and click on the Help Menu right above the Client Settings.

You will see 2 options here: Guides, and Recipes. The first option will open up a list of guides that will give you informations about various topics, some of which we have already covered here. If you open up the recipes tab you will get a short list of some of Dragon Block C's crafting recipes. It is recommended you look through both of these pages after completing this tutorial, and then using the wiki for any material that is not covered by the in game guides.

## Power Unleash

Now that you are acquainted with the various menus, the last thing you need to know to get started is how to unleash your characters power.
In order to make use of your Attributes and Skills you have to be above 0% release, in order to power up you will need to hold C. After doing this you will get an aura of the color you picked while making your character and the release level on your Ki Bar will rise, it will currently be capped at 50% at the moment. In order to increase your maximum release you have to purchase the Potential Unlock skill from a master.

## Ending Notes

Now that you know the basics of Dragon Block C you are free to play the game as you see fit. If you ever need to know anymore information you are encouraged to read the in game guides, or look through our wiki for any information you need. As you play you will learn more and more in the hopes that you will no longer need to look at the wiki and can play for yourself, and when that time comes we ask that you give back to the community and update this wiki with any missing information you find.
