Red Dinosaur
by Noyan
Red Dinosaur adds a tameable dinosaur mob that players find in jungles and raise by feeding it sweet berries.
What it does
A dinosaur-looking companion called Red spawns at random in jungle biomes. Players tame it by feeding it sweet berries, after which it becomes a friend that follows and defends its owner against hostile monsters. The mob is meant as a simple new companion for a survival run.
The mod also adds a Red Shell item, which crafts into red blocks. The author describes these as among the strongest blocks in the game, and says they can be used to build houses that other players cannot destroy, unlike obsidian. Red Dinosaur runs on Fabric and needs to be installed on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
