This Minecraft mod is for those who want to explore the world of Minecraft but prefer a prehistoric style! Whether it's digging up fossils to resurrect, or letting them spawn naturally around the world (configuration tutorial below).
This mod has two modes of play: paleontologist and nature.
Paleontologist: This method requires players to dig up fossils themselves and then use the fossils to resurrect ancient creatures. It's a more challenging way to play, but also more rewarding.
Natural: This method allows ancient creatures to spawn naturally around the world. It's a more relaxed way to play, but also has fewer surprises.
I personally prefer paleontology because I enjoy exploring and discovering fossils on my own. However, the final choice is yours.
You can choose how to play according to your preference. If you enjoy a challenge and a sense of accomplishment, paleontology may be the career for you. If you like a relaxing gaming experience, Nature may be the best choice for you.
Explore the Prehistoric!
Embrace your inner paleontologist:
Open the settings menu.
Equip the fossil brush and unearth hidden fossils.
