Mesozoa: Dinosaur Fantasy

Explore a world filled with beasts and magic. The land of Mesozoa!

Mesozoa

Welcome to Mesozoa — a world filled with wonderous nature and magic!

Mesozoa is a prehistoric survival and exploration modpack inspired by the lost worlds of the Mesozoic and other ancient times, the strange ecosystems of deep time, and a darker fantasy world. Survive, tame and explore prehistoric creatures from top tier paleo mods like F&A Revival, Drag's Deadly Dinos Reconstructed, The Dawn Era, and others!

Explore vast, untamed landscapes filled with dinosaurs, prehistoric reptiles, ancient birds, and other creatures. Build your home among living fossils, venture into dangerous wilderness, and discover the remnants of civilisations that existed long before you arrived.

But Mesozoa is more than dinosaurs.

Ancient powers stir beneath the earth. Strange creatures lurk beyond the safety of civilisation. Corruption spreads through places that should be untouched.

A Living Prehistoric World

Encounter a diverse collection of prehistoric animals in a mixed ecosystem. Dinosaurs aren't simply decorations—they are part of the world around you, occupying different habitats and interacting with a living ecosystem.

🌎 Explore a World of Deep Time

Travel through dramatically varied landscapes, from dense forests and ancient swamps to mountains, oceans, and strange untouched wilderness. Every biome is an opportunity to discover something new.

🏛️ Discover the Ruins of the Past

Scattered across the world are remnants of forgotten peoples, ancient structures, and mysterious places that hint at a much larger history. What happened to those who came before?

☣️ Something Is Spreading

Not everything in Mesozoa is natural.

Something evil is stirring beneath the earth, the spiders are growing larger and more dangerous. Fight back against the corruption of The Sculk Horde, and face the night time waves of massive arthropods bosses and spiders from ArPhEx!

⚔️ Survive the Wilderness

This isn't a peaceful dinosaur park. Predators hunt. The environment is dangerous. Resources must be managed, and venturing too far from safety can have consequences.

Build, explore, hunt, tame, investigate, and survive in a world where humanity is only one small part of a much larger ecosystem.

The dinosaurs survived.

**The question is whether you will.

Beginning Survival Guide

First, it's a good idea to do a quick preload of your world. When creating your world, press the star (Genesis mod) in the top right corner of the world creation screen. When you are satisfied with your world seed, go ahead and press pregenerate. If you don't plan on exploring too far to begin, you can lower the chunk radius down to around 20-40 to save you some time (it can take a few minutes).
Once generation is complete, enter your world and it should be much smoother generation!

Step 1: Find Resources
All over the ground are random twigs, rocks, and bones to get you started. Some are right click to ick up, others are destroy. You CANNOT break trees without an axe or hatchet.

Step 2: Craft a Hatchet

Once you have those materials, you can craft either cobblestone or use a rock to craft a hatchet to chop trees. (recipe is the same for cobblestone, mossy cobblestone, and rock).

Step 3: Campfire

Use the things you have gathered to build a campfire, which will protect you from the cold, cook for you, and give you regeneration. Easier recipe without charcoal!

But wait! The campfire isn't lit! Good thing fire is much easier to make in survival with just two sticks! (Careful, fire is much more dangerous in this pack).

Step 4: Bed

Beds are an essential part of Minecraft. In this pack, wool is a little harder to come by without sheep. You can craft wool and/or a bed by sheering mammoths, Elasmotherium, or even goats!

By then, you should be good for survival! Watch out for the night, there's something out there...
