Every species, its own rules.

Eight prehistoric species now live in the jungles, forests, plains, swamps, savannas and on the coasts of your world. Each one has its own diet, temper and way of being tamed.

Aggressive hunters are knocked out with a blowgun and tranquilizer darts, kept asleep with narcoberries, then fed their favourite food. Skittish species only trust players who sneak up and hand-feed them.

Tamed creatures follow, stay or wander on command. Saddle them and each mount brings its own ability. Breed pairs, keep the eggs warm by a campfire and raise the hatchlings.

Underground, Fossil and Amber ore wait in the stone. Combine them into Ancient DNA and a Hatchery brings a creature back as an egg.

What is inside.

Original models, textures, animations and sounds, with gameplay written on the Minecraft Script API.

  • Eight species

    Compsognathus, Gallimimus, Velociraptor, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Pteranodon and Tyrannosaurus, each with its own model and animations.

  • Two ways to tame

    Knock-out with darts and narcoberries, or trust earned by sneaking up and hand-feeding.

  • Mounts with abilities

    Gallimimus sprint, raptor pounce, Triceratops charge, Stegosaurus tail swipe, Parasaurolophus herd call and Tyrannosaurus roar, on a stamina bar.

  • Flight

    Saddle a Pteranodon: look to steer, hold jump to climb.

  • Eggs and hatchlings

    Pairs lay eggs that hatch near a campfire, and the young grow up over time.

  • Colour variants

    Four looks per species, including a rare albino that only 2% of them get.

  • Fossils and amber

    New ores in the stone. Mine them, craft Ancient DNA and revive a creature in the Hatchery.

  • Made for survival

    Every item is crafted from vanilla materials, creatures spawn in their biomes and narcoberry bushes grow in the wild.

  • Field Guide

    A journal that fills in as you discover each species, with its diet and how to tame it.

Renders made from the add-on's own models, blocks and textures. Select an image to see it full size.
