About Unusual Prehistory
Unusual Prehistory is a mod that adds ways to revive a variety of prehistoric creatures and plants and various ways to use them!
This mod requires Geckolib!
Quick Start Guide
To begin your journey to resurrect prehistoric plants and animals, you need to find fossils found throughout the world. Stone fossils yield mesozoic fossils while deepslate fossils yield paleozoic fossils, there are other types of fossils to be found as well!
Once you have fossils you will need an analyzer to extract DNA from them, and from there you can use a cultivator to create eggs, embryos, or plants using the DNA and organic ooze as fuel. Every prehistoric creature and plant has something to offer, whether it be useful items or simple ambience. You can learn more about them and the rest of the mod through the Encyclopedia of Prehistory, which you can craft with any fossil and a book!
Mod Loader and Version
This mod is available for Forge 1.18.2-1.20.1. We will no longer be updating this mod because we have moved on to its sequel mod, Unusual Prehistory 2!
