Prehistoric Revival - A Prehistoric Fauna Add-On
Prehistoric Revival extends the Prehistoric Fauna dinosaur mod with a DNA extraction and cloning process that brings extinct animals and plants back into a world.
What it does
Prehistoric Revival is an add-on that depends on Prehistoric Fauna. Players collect DNA from Prehistoric Fauna fossils using a DNA Extractor, then combine that DNA with eggs, seeds, saplings, water buckets, milk buckets or fish in a Cultivator. The result is a dinosaur egg, an animal embryo or a plant, so extinct plants and animals can be produced in game.
Installation needs Prehistoric Fauna alongside this mod on Forge or NeoForge, for Minecraft 1.20.1. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It is published under All rights reserved and is not open source, and the license forbids recompiling or reuploading the mod, as well as using its assets elsewhere.
Key features
DNA extraction
A DNA Extractor pulls genetic material from Prehistoric Fauna fossils so players can store it for later cloning.
Cultivator recipes
The Cultivator combines extracted DNA with eggs, seeds, saplings, water buckets, milk buckets or fish to produce a result.
Dinosaur eggs and embryos
Cloning produces dinosaur eggs and animal embryos, which players can raise or place in the world.
Extinct plants
Plant results let players reintroduce plants that no longer exist in the base game or the fauna mod.
