Prehistoric stuff
by slendygato
Prehistoric stuff adds tameable prehistoric and marine creatures, fossil blocks and a set of new items and structures to NeoForge worlds, and it needs Geckolib to run.
What it does
The mod covers several separate additions. Woolly Mice appear in cold biomes, and players can tame them by offering pumpkin seeds, after which they follow the player. Dire Wolves can be made from a Worg Soul, which is crafted with a Soul Potion brewed from Soul Sand, and a tamed Dire Wolf can wear Wolf Armor and attack hostile mobs nearby. New Dire Wolf Tooth Fossils are found in rocks in old growth pine, spruce and taiga biomes and are placed as a Fossil Tooth Block.
Nautilus mobs spawn in deep oceans and lush caves and leave shells when they die, and five shells combined with a turtle helmet and a conduit make a Nautilus Helmet. A Nautilus can be right-clicked to receive a bucket. Puffersaurus eggs can be placed to hatch a new mob, and its scales make an ancient spear that poisons mobs. The ancestral burrow is a new structure, and mangrove grasses are added on normal and sandy ground. Six achievements are tied to the mod's challenges. The mod needs Geckolib, which must be installed on NeoForge 1.21.1 next to it. It is for NeoForge only, runs client or server optional, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
