Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.19.4 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.19.2 · Forge
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

"Cenozoic creatures close to the vanilla style. Find fossils, analyze them to extract dna. Through the symbiosis of science and alchemy, revive long-lost creatures. Visit the echoes of ancient biomes, use the power of the Philosopher's stone for your own purposes, create natural armor and weapons, build farms and eat those who have long been extinct, or give them freedom and return them to the world that was lost to them, the choice is yours!"

The mod embodies these extinct species:

†woolly rhinoceros† !

†Western Amazonian manatee† !

†Dodo† !

†Odobenocetops† !

†Squalodon† !

†Andrias scheuchzeri† !

†Palaeobatrachus† !

†Thalassocnus† !

†Mammoth† !

Nautilus !

Beefalo !

Crab !

The mod also adds 3 new biomes, weapons, armor, items, blocks, food, plants

Here is a small fashion guide that will help you figure out how to create a Cainozoic mob:

**to make the mod work, you need a mod

GeckoLib** https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/geckolib

Half of the mobs have good animation, the rest will receive it as updates.The sounds will also be given to them. Download the updated versions, as there may be errors in the old ones at the moment and they are OUTDATED


I will be glad for suggestions, comments and any help. Let us know if any errors appear.
