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!<\/p>\n<p># The Legacy<br \/>\nOne 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&#8217;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&#8217;s on a difficult version of Minecraft. This mod is a remake of the mod, fixed up and experimenting with some of Team July&#8217;s ideas that have gone unused.<\/p>\n<p># Additions<br \/>\nThe 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!<\/p>\n<p># Forking<br \/>\nThis 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.<\/p>\n<p># FAQ<br \/>\n> How do I disable hunger?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;\/gamerule doAnimalHunger [true\/false]&#8221; or you can when creating the world as &#8220;Do animals get hungry&#8221;<br \/>\n> How do I disable block-breaking?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;\/gamerule doAnimalBlockBreaking [true\/false]&#8221; or you can when creating the world as &#8220;Do animals break blocks&#8221;<br \/>\n> How do I disable animals growing?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;\/gamerule doAnimalGrowth [true\/false]&#8221; or you can when creating the world as &#8220;Do animals grow&#8221;<br \/>\n> When will the next update\u2014<\/p>\n<p>When its done.<br \/>\n> Please make x.x.x version!<\/p>\n<p>No. If you want to make it, go ahead.<br \/>\n> Why doesn&#8217;t x have a legacy model?<\/p>\n<p>Because it doesn&#8217;t exist.<br \/>\n> Revival does x, are you going to?<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p># Built-In Support<br \/>\nThe mod comes in with built-in support for JEI.
