Fossil Mod
by exline
Fossil Mod places fossil blocks in the world and adds an Archeologist villager who trades fossils for emeralds on Fabric for 1.16.4.
What it does
Fossil blocks generate in the world and drop bones when mined, and bone ore can be smelted into fossils for decoration. Grass sometimes has random cracks that, when dug up with a shovel, yield a fossil. The Archeology Table and the Archeologist villager give players a trade route for fossil models. Client and server both need the mod, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is not open source.
