PaleoCraft Revival
by Beefus3385
PaleoCraft Revival brings back the classic PaleoCraft dinosaur mod for Minecraft Java, updated to the 1.20.1 game version, with new features added along the way.
What it does
The mod adds dinosaurs such as the Tyrannosaurus, Protoceratops, Sauroposeidon and Baryonyx, and several smaller species like the Dromaeosaurus, Troodon and Masospondylus. The Dromaeosaurus can be tamed with raw beef. A new dimension is planned, with a few biomes named PaleoPlains, PaleoDesert and PaleoForest, a feature the original PaleoCraft never shipped.
The mod is built with MCreator, and the author asks players to report any bug, even a small one, so it can be fixed. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 0.0.7 as the latest file, released 2025-01-24 on the alpha channel. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it, and the code is under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Classic dinosaurs
Large predators and herbivores from the original PaleoCraft return, including the Tyrannosaurus and Protoceratops.
Tameable smaller species
Dromaeosaurus, Troodon and Masospondylus join the roster, and the Dromaeosaurus can be tamed with raw beef.
Planned dimension
A dimension with PaleoPlains, PaleoDesert and PaleoForest biomes is planned as a new addition.
Bug reports welcome
The author asks players to report bugs immediately, including small ones, since the code is still being refined.
