About Fossils and Archaeology: Legacy

From Modrinth

Adding dinosaurs since 2024! A fork of the original Fossils and Archaeology mod by Team July to the latest versions and patched up!

Not to Confuse with Fossils and Archeology Revival!

The Fossils and Archeology Revival team have struggled with people stealing their mod! This is not one of those projects. This is a remake of the original mod by Team July. Make sure to support the Revival Team and their efforts!

The Legacy

One of the most famous dinosaur mods of all times had such humble beginnings! A small mod by Team July. Unfortunetly, the lead had to abandon the mod due to time constrains. Leaving it open source, there are many who've tried to take up the mantle. However, few have tried to take up the original version of the mod. It is buggy. It is a bit broken. And for many, it's on a difficult version of Minecraft. This mod is a remake of the mod, fixed up and experimenting with some of Team July's ideas that have gone unused.

Additions

The mod adds a multitude of dinosaurs and machines to revive them. In addition, you can make skeletons out of their bones. A few new structures are added to explore and discover archaeological sites!

Forking

This mod, after release 1.0.0, not only updates the original mod, but also adds new things in vien of the original mod, including unused items and features planned.
