What it does

Fossils&Archaeology Origins is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 built around the excavation of ancient relics. Players uncover fossils, extract DNA from them and use the material to bring prehistoric species back into the world. The creatures are tamed and kept in a player-managed ecosystem, and each species has its own behaviors, habitats and challenges. Specialized tools and equipment support the digging and the revival process.

The project was reworked from the original Fossils and Archaeology mod with the aim of keeping its vision while expanding the content. It requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its latest Forge file is 2.0.6, published on 2023-04-20.
