Description

Inspired by popular medias such as Ark:SE, Jurassic Park, and my own love of Dinosaurs and prehistory!

I use the term "Dinosaur" quite loosely, as really these are just prehistoric creatures; Theropods, Pterosaurs, Invertebrates, and Fishes, but I hope you enjoy them!

This mod will add 13 naturally spawning Animals to the Overworld, that can be ridden, used as food or resources, breed, and interact with other entities. Further details can be found on the Wiki.

The source for this mod is here; as the page says I can reupload, I am doing so and crediting the original source (everyone say thank you NecroCrab).

The paragraph above has been pasted from the original modrinth page; be sure to send them a kofi if you get the chance!
