Druids & Dinosaurs
Druids & Dinosaurs adds a set of mobs and blocks themed on ancient and prehistoric creatures, along with decorative blocks for building.
What it does
The mod adds a range of creatures and blocks that bring back ancient mobs. Among the additions are a Tuff Totem Pole block for building a small house, decorative blocks such as the Hart Antler and the Pottery Trunk, and a Factory structure built from deepslate layers. The Factory is the setting for the Rustlings, a stationary mob that passes through four rust stages.
Several mobs can be shaped by the player. A Rustling at stage 0 is clean and at stage 4 is fully rusted, and shears remove rust from it, while smelting rust yields iron ingots. A Rustling can also be lured and bred, and it drops a moss block on death. Jade Elephants can be turned into Stone Jade Shards with a right-click, and they are immune to a number of damage types, including fall damage, fire and drowning.
Druids & Dinosaurs requires nothing beyond Forge. It is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved and the mod is not open source.
