Details
This mod adds the whole of prehistoric natural history to Minecraft, from the very beginning through the age of dinosaurs to the ice age, along with game-play to revive or capture prehistoric life. Hundreds and hundreds of accurate prehistoric creatures and plants are included, and you can download separate dimension mods to explore beautiful, fully worked-out multi-biomed dimensions, each representing different periods of earth's prehistory in huge depth and detail. We build all content after in-depth research using the latest scientific publications and our modding team includes paleontological professionals to ensure that concepts, models, textures and behaviours are as accurate as possible.
When in the game itself, you should use the Palaeopedia item, which is the guidebook to the game and which contains everything you need to know. The Palaeopedia itself can be clicked onto prehistoric life to collect information about it and doing so will unlock more information in the entry for it in the book. The Palaeopedia can also be clicked onto nests to see who owns them. To open the Palaeopedia itself, use shift+click.
