⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.16.5 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
Below the turf is a mod that expands upon minecrafts mysterious and unknown past, this mod includes a new type of block called "till" that can spawn in deposits around the world and is needed to revive creatures, a new tool used in collecting fossils from this new block, new enchantments that increase your chances of fossils, two new mobs that can be revived to help you, an entirely new structure to beat and loot, and more!
How do I begin, you say?
Create a Chisel with 1 iron ingot and a stick, then find some till and mine some with your pickaxe to get amber, and some with the chisel to get fossil.
Then, create the incubator and put a chicken egg on it, then a fossil, and you are set to go!
Mobs
Thumper
The Thumper is a prehistoric relative of the overworlds spiders, it is usually nice but if you provoke it then you will get a deadly bite which packs a punch, however the thumper actually has a use, which is its love for amber, if you place some amber next to some blocks in range of a thumper, the thumper will snatch the amber so fast it breaks the blocks around it, being useful for mining!
Trampler
The Trampler is a prehistoric creature with a mysterious origin, some speculate a connection to modern-day ravagers, Trampler's are very territorial mobs, if you get close to them they will defend themselves, but if you feed them enough beetroot, they will trust you for a bit, and if you have a beetroot on a stick, you can ride them around, and if you want to cause chaos the Trampler does a ram attack if you press the R key, it has a 1 minute cooldown!
