Introducing the new Minecraft mod for CurseForge: "Prehistoric Legacy"! This updated version, designed for Minecraft 1.20.1, is a complete remake of the original mod released for version 1.12.2. While several species have been discarded in this alpha phase, we have included exciting features and mechanics to make this an exceptional experience.
This mod requires GeckoLib
In this mod, you will find four carnivorous species:
Velociraptor
Dilophosaurus
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Spinosaurus
Tylosaurus
Pteranodon
Carnotaurus
Baryonyx
Compsognathus
Cryolophosaurus
Additionally, we have added four herbivorous species:
Brachiosaurus
Triceratops
Stegosaurus
Gallimimus
Dodo
Archelon
Parasaurolophus
Pachycephalosaurus
Ankylosaurus
Prehistoric Legacy is a mod that adds a variety of 18 new species to the world. Species that existed (or not exactly) in the world millions of years ago. That said, this mod adds a variety of items, objects, and mechanics that make the vanilla experience more enriching.
If you want to learn more about the mechanics, items, and how to get started, we recommend visiting the Prehistoric Legacy Wiki.
If you prefer to experience dinosaurs coexisting with the Minecraft world without being revived, you can activate the game rule called "doDinoSpawn" and the dinosaurs will appear in the main world (Overworld).
Get ready to explore the age of dinosaurs in Minecraft with our exciting "Prehistoric Legacy" mod!
