Description

🦖 Ark Craft Jurassic: Dinosaurs

Transform your Minecraft world into an intense pre-historic survival experience inspired by ARK: Survival Evolved. Tame, breed, and gear up iconic dinosaurs, unlock level-based Engram tech trees, build fortified structures guarded by automated turrets, and conquer the wilderness!

🦖 Dinosaurs & Taming

Torpor & Taming System: Knock out creatures using Tranq Arrows and Darts, then feed them their preferred food to tame them.
Expandable Dino Storage: Craftable multi-tier saddlebags that attach directly to your saddles for massive inventory expansion on the go!
Breeding & Mutations: Breed tamed creatures, regulate egg incubation temperatures, and hatch offspring with stat boosts or rare color mutations.

📜 Engram Progression Tree

Earn Engram Points (EP) as you level up.
Unlock recipes progressively across distinct tech eras: Primitive → Wood → Stone → Metal → TEK.

🏰 Structure Tiers & Base Defense

Custom snap-logic structure tiers (Thatch, Wood, Stone, Metal) with durability and damage resistance logic.
Auto-Turrets: Powered, hitscan automated turrets to defend your territory from wild beasts and hostile players.

🔮 Crystals & Teleportation

Crystal Resource Nodes: Harvest crystals in mountain peaks and deep caves for mid-to-late game recipes.
Global Teleporter Network: Link Crystal Teleporters across your world.
Teleport Remote & Death Recovery: Access teleporters from anywhere using a hand-held remote. If you die with the remote in your inventory, your items are safely cached and can be retrieved at any Teleporter Pad!

🎒 Crafting & Progression

1. Harvesting: Use specialized tools (Picks vs. Hatchets) or wild creatures like Ankylo and Castoroides to maximize resource yields.
2. Crafting Stations: Build Mortar & Pestles, Smithies, and Fabricators to produce advanced gear and ammunition.
3. Equip Your Tames: Craft saddles and attach Saddlebags (Pocket → Double Pocket → Large Saddlebag) to turn your dinos into ultimate resource carriers.
