by thedrathe1

With Jurassic Additions installed, dinosaurs from the Jurassic Park franchise appear in a vanilla-styled Minecraft world, and the mod is built around recreating John Hammond's dream park.

What it does

The mod adds dinosaurs drawn from the Jurassic Park films, and the author describes it as an attempt to recreate the park Hammond envisioned. Species such as Velociraptor, Gallimimus and Parasaurolophus are among those named in the notes. The creatures keep a vanilla look and feel rather than a realistic one.

Jurassic Additions requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. The mod is a Forge build for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files were first published on 2025-03-05, and the latest Forge file is 0.2.0, dated 2025-05-30. The code is released under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Franchise dinosaurs

    Creatures inspired by the Jurassic Park franchise are added as mobs for players to encounter and build around.

  2. Vanilla-style creatures

    The dinosaurs are styled to sit alongside vanilla Minecraft mobs rather than appear as a separate realistic set.

  3. Staged species roster

    The full roster is built up through five or six betas, with individual updates shipped as species are finished.

  4. Park-building theme

    The content supports recreating a full Jurassic Park build, with dinosaurs placed in player-made enclosures.
