Extinct Animals
by Hyperreal
Extinct Animals brings three prehistoric creatures into the world: the Woolly Mammoth, the Megalodon and the Dodo, each with custom animations, textures, sounds and drops.
What it does
The Woolly Mammoth is a large land mammal that wanders cold plains and snowy biomes. Players who hit one make it hostile, whatever they wear. A Woolly Tunic crafted from the mammoth's drops protects against freezing damage and keeps mammoths neutral toward the wearer. Mammoth Meat is edible and gives high saturation, regeneration and strength.
The Megalodon is a giant ocean predator that swims fast through deep ocean biomes and attacks players. It can swallow a player whole before spitting them back out, and its attacks deal enough damage to kill a fully enchanted player in netherite armor in one blow. A Megalodon tooth drops when it is defeated and forms the Mega Block, which is used for the Mega Sword and other crafted equipment.
Extinct Animals depends on GeckoLib, which must be installed alongside it. The mod runs on Fabric and is released for game version 26.2 only, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it.
