Sauros Skoteinos
Sauros Skoteinos adds obscure dinosaur creatures with goofy models, along with food, cards and equipment built around them.
What it does
The mod spawns a small set of less common dinosaurs in jungle, sparse jungle, bamboo jungle, badlands, desert and forest biomes. Its only mob drop listed is an Intrepidus Claw, which is used to craft an Intrepidus Dagger. Food items come in two kinds: a Herbivore Meal made from wheat, carrot, potato and kelp, and a Carnivore Meal made from chicken, beef, porkchop and mutton.
Equipment ties the dinosaur theme together. A blank card is crafted from iron, lapis, paper and stone, and it becomes a Saltasaurus Card with herbivore meal and Saltasaurus plates. Salta Infused Ingots are made from Saltasaurus plates and iron, and a Salta shield is smithed from them. The mod requires GeckoLib, and the Forge build targets Minecraft 1.20.1.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed. The latest Forge file is 1.2 for 1.20.1, published on 2025-05-29, and the first release dates from 2025-04-14.
