Jurassic Revived
Jurassic Revived is a Technology mod that brings dinosaurs back to life by extracting ancient DNA from fossils, with machines, park-building tools and species-specific dinosaur behavior.
What it does
Fossils are dug up and processed, and the DNA recovered from them is used to bring dinosaurs back through high-tech machines. Each species then acts according to its own traits, and the dinosaur AI covers hostile, skittish, wandering and group-living creatures.
Park-building tools let players lay out enclosures, labs, research zones and viewing areas. The author states that the project is unofficial and not affiliated with the original creators. Installation requires Architectury API, Cloth Config API, Geckolib and Mod Menu. Jade and Just Enough Items (JEI) are optional. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, under a Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license, so the mod is not open source.

How it compares
Jurassic Returned is Forge-only, for 1.20.1, under All rights reserved and not open source.

Jurassic Revived differs by using a Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license and by being a fan project tied to JurassiCraft.
