Fossiles
by Crifish
Fossiles brings prehistoric beasts into Minecraft, currently two creatures, along with ores and tools for Forge on 1.20.1.
What it does
Fossiles is a Forge mod by Crifish that focuses on prehistoric life. Its current release adds two creatures, Orodromeus and Sacabampaspis, along with two new foods: a raw Sacabampaspis and a cooked one. The mod also includes ores and tools, so items found in the mod can be gathered and crafted.
The author describes the project as early access, with plans to add more dinosaurs and Cenozoic animals in later updates. The mod is built for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so servers and every player need it installed. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
