DragN's Deadly Dinos: Reconstructed
by DragN0007
In DragN's Deadly Dinos: Reconstructed, a post-apocalyptic 2071 world is overrun by prehistoric predators, and players hunt, tame and ride dinosaurs there.
What it does
The story is set in 2071, decades after a disease and an ecological collapse known as PRJKT-3K destroyed most of the human population. The mod adds 17 dinosaurs, 4 insects and other animals, each with custom sounds, models, textures and animations. The PRJCT-3K Apocalypse Journal works as an in-game wiki that records the setting.
Dinosaurs spawn naturally in the overworld, and some tamed babies appear with them. Their colors depend on gender and carry into breeding, and females drop unfertilized eggs about every 20 minutes. Mountable dinos can be saddled, and a ground tie keeps them still after the rider dismounts. Herbivores eat and destroy crops, predators hunt herbivores and players' animals, and dinosaurs eat edible foods such as meat and vegetables.
The mod is licensed All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code is public. It runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only, with client and server both needing it. The latest file is 1.0.2, published 2026-01-04 after the first release on 2025-12-30. Worlds from the earlier DDD build cannot be carried over to this port, and some items and blocks may be lost because of registry differences.
Key features
Hunting and fighting
Large dinosaurs resist arrows because of their tough hides, and new weapons and armor are added for combat.
Predatory behavior
Raptor-class dinos stalk prey before dashing, and herding pack dinos group up while hunting.
Block breaking by strength
Different dinosaurs break blocks depending on their strength, and craftable reinforced base blocks resist most of them.
Dino drops and food
Dinosaurs drop bones, used for bonemeal and equipment, plus new food items including dino meat.

How it compares
Dino Nugget BySaku is client and server, All rights reserved and not open source, with files for 1.20.1 on Forge. Prehistoric World By SpicySushiGamingYT is also client and server and All rights reserved, published for Forge 1.20.1. Dino Rumble shares the same Forge 1.20.1 target, client and server environment and All rights reserved license, so each of the three differs mainly in its dinosaur set and features.
