About this project

What does Bones to Life add?

Bones to Life is a paleontological mod that transforms your Minecraft exploration into a scientific adventure.

Your journey begins by searching for naturally generated Ancient Gravel deposits across the world.

Then, your next goal is to craft the three new machines that will help you bring your first prehistoric creature back to life. These machines are: the Fossil Sifter, the Analyzer, and the DNA Combiner.

After doing that, with a bit of prehistoric DNA and some Dripstone blocks, you will craft a Primordial Geode that, upon left-clicking, will give you a random DNA sample for an ancient creature.

Your last goal here is to combine the DNA you just got with some prehistoric DNA to get your first Egg, which will hatch upon left-clicking.

our first mob is the hylonomus. a small colourful reptile
