What it does

Dinosaur mobs from the Fossils and Archeology: Revival mod appear naturally in the world once the add-on is loaded on a server. The spawning rules are set through JSON files, and the author points to the mod's wiki for a guide to the spawn config. Players join without installing anything, since only the server needs the mod. The project is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Required dependencies are CorviCraft Spawn Utility and Fossils and Archeology: Revival.
