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
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.

Spinosaurus, a semi-aquatic large theropod that was home to North Africa 93 million years ago. This mod aims to bring back the spinosaurus in a neat way. Need a semi-aquatic iron golem equivelant? This mod can do the job!

Spinosaurus is a relatively tanky, breedable animal that spawns rarely in rivers, and can be bred with cooked salmon. Spinosaurus is a neutral mob and will not attack the player unless provoked

The spinosaurus has 2 attacks: a grabbing bite and a tail swipe. It is also, as previously mentioned, semi aquatic, capable of swimming, although fairly unpredictably admittedly.

Spinosaurus is tamable with onchopristis spawn eggs. A tamed spinosaurus becomes a good way to defend oneself against monsters, as most become unable to reach you atop the sail of a spinosaurus, and it will attack entities the player attacks when tamed.

Spinosaurus has 3 texture variants, so be on the lookout!

Onchopristis is a fish that now spawns in rivers, and when killed drops a spawn egg of itself. This spawn egg can be fed to spinosaurus to tame it as previously mentioned

Additional: Spinosaurus can be revived via totems of undying, so you now have yet another use for your totems!

Enjoy the mod!

(REQUIRES GECKOLIB)
