a Billion Grains of Green Sand
by nagoy777
A Billion Grains of Green Sand sends players through a green sand dimension, where dinosaurs are revived, eggs are hatched and a wizard tower holds a magic staff.
What it does
Access to the green sand dimension is opened by a portal frame built from Chiseled Green Sand Stone Bricks, which are made by crafting and then shaped with a stonecutter. Inside, players search for fossils, some near the surface and others deeper underground. Bone blocks are found in the Boneyard dungeon, and once the needed bones are collected they are processed in the machines listed in the recipe section to bring a dinosaur back to life.
Eggs are placed in an open area with room around them, since a dinosaur hatches after about 15 minutes. Scrap blocks appear inside some structures and yield a range of different materials. Magic starts with a staff that is depowered after the dark wizard in the wizard tower basement is defeated. The staff is then taken to the top of the tower to be upgraded, and stronger staves gain access to better spells across three tiers.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Only Forge is supported, with builds for 1.16.5. Its license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
