How the Minecraft Dungeons II Data Works

Where the data comes from

Five sources, all from the game itself or Steam.

• Game data tables. Items, enchantments, effects, mobs, areas, quests, vendors and loot tables from the installed game, version 1.1.1.0 (Steam build 25041023).
• The game's own text. Names, descriptions, quest objectives and the tutorial log come from the game's translation files, so official terms match what you see in game. Vietnamese isn't shipped by the game, so entity names there are English.
• Icons and portraits. Item icons are the game's textures. 181 mob portraits were rendered from the game's own 3D models.
• World map. The map art is the game's own world map texture, and each point is placed with the game's map calibration.
• Steam. Official achievement names in each language and global unlock rates, from Steam's public achievement pages and API.

Every derived number, and exactly how it's worked out.

• Melee DPS. The damage of every attack in the combo, added up, divided by the combo's animation length (read from the weapon's animation sections, adjusted by its attack speed). Single target, base stats. 56 of 58 melee weapons have exact timings; the others show no DPS.
• Ranged DPS. Damage of one shot, counting every projectile, divided by the seconds between shots. This is burst damage while ammo lasts; charged shots and ammo recharge are left out.
• Tiers. A weapon's DPS as a share of the best weapon in its class (weight class for melee, bow or crossbow for ranged): S at 90% or more, then A 80%, B 70%, C 60%, D below.
• Rarity and drop chances. The game's rarity weights for each source (chests, bosses, quests) are applied to its default weights and turned into percentages. Item pages only show odds for items with a Unique version, where the files say what a Unique roll becomes.
• Percentiles. A stat's percentile is the share of weapons in the same class with a lower value, counting ties as half.
• Enchantment and effect text. The game's description templates are filled with each tier's values from the ability data, in the game's own wording.

What the data doesn't cover

Known limits, stated so nothing on the site pretends otherwise.

• Some melee timings. 2 melee weapons (Short Spear, Spectral Spear) have combo animations that couldn't be read exactly, so they show no DPS and aren't ranked.
• Spawn lists. Mob lists per area are what the level spawn data places there (10 regions have spawn data). Procedural dungeons, rifts and soul storms add more.
• Levels and difficulty. Weapon and mob stats are base values. Item level, difficulty and the game's level-based damage curves change the numbers you see in a real fight.
• Drop rates. Drop chances come from the game's loot weights, not from counting real drops, and some loot pools depend on the area's level.
• Patches. The data reflects one game version (1.1.1.0 (Steam build 25041023)). When the game updates, the data is rebuilt from the new files and the version shown on every page changes.
• Vietnamese names. The game has no Vietnamese text, so item, mob and quest names on Vietnamese pages stay in English; the rest of the page is translated.
