Mesozoic Empire
by OmegaCleric
Mesozoic Empire adds prehistoric creatures and Wattieza wood to a Forge world, built around a dinosaur theme from the Dawn Era.
What it does
The mod adds extinct creatures to the world, including a Dimetrodon with an armour set and a spawn egg for placing it. Its wood set is made from Wattieza, with logs, stripped logs, planks, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, pressure plates, buttons and a branch block, so builders can use it in the same way as ordinary wood.
The mod needs to be installed on both the server and every player's client, since the environment is client and server. Credits list a number of contributors for models, textures, animation and concept art, including donor models for the Meganeura and Tarchia.
Files target Forge for 1.20.1 only. The latest file, 1.0.0, was published on 2025-10-06 in the alpha channel, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
