What it does

Prehistoric Revival is a world generation mod for Forge 1.20.1, released under All rights reserved and not open source. It works as an add-on to Unusual Prehistory 2 and is updated alongside that main mod. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must run the same build.

Key features

  1. Revived dinosaurs spawn in the world

    Once a revived species is available, it can spawn naturally in the world near blocks that meet the mod's requirement.

  2. Chat message on each species

    When a species first appears, a message is shown in chat to announce it.

  3. Revival task

    Reviving dinosaurs is a task the player works through, following the same steps as a standard mod with one difference.
