Prehistorum
Prehistorum adds paleontology and prehistoric creatures to NeoForge worlds, with fossils that can be revived into mobs.
What it does
Players find fossils in the world and revive them into prehistoric creatures. The mod also adds new dimensions, new bosses, 55 new mobs, armor and tools, with updates on a regular basis. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it.
Files are published for NeoForge across eight game versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.8. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
