Shamrock Shores - St. Patrick’s Day Event
This mod is the first of its kind—a true passion project. I’ve always loved St. Patrick’s Day (not just because my name is Patrick or because of my Irish heritage), and I realized Ark was missing a proper event to celebrate it. So, I decided to create one. What started as a simple Lucky Dodo quickly grew into something much bigger than I ever imagined!
Features
This mod introduces a variety of festive additions to Ark, including:
- Three new dino variants (one of which is tamable)
- A new seed and crop, along with a specialized planter to grow them in
- >A new Beer Barrel variant that brews Green Beer, complete with unique buffs
- A Magical Loot Well that rewards players with valuable treasures if given the right item
- A new dino candy that prevents your creatures from being "pinched" for not wearing green
- Themed cosmetics like Shamrock Shades and a Leprechaun’s Top Hat
- And, of course, a Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow! 🌈
Creatures
Lucky Dodo
A festive green dodo donning a top hat. While untamable, it lays special Golden Eggs. Consuming one grants a:
- 50% XP boost for 15 minutes
- Temporarily enhances loot crate quality
🕒 Golden Eggs spoil in 30 minutes but can be refrigerated for up to two days.;
Leprechaun Bigfoot
A tiny, green version of the regular Bigfoot—just 30% of the original size.
- Tamable & ridable (yes, you shrink to fit!)
- Requires Shamrock Kibble to tame.
- will only eat Verdberries, Shamrocks, Green Beer, or Veggie Cakes
- Every time it poops, there’s a 20% chance it will drop Shamrock Dino Candy, which colors any dino green.
- Even if you don’t get candy, the sparkly green poop acts as powerful fertilizer for your Shamrock Garden.
Finnegan (Jerboa Variant)
A mischievous green Jerboa that cannot be tamed.
- It loves to steal Leprechaun Gold and can be tracked by following a trail of gold dust.
- If you manage to catch it, you can claim its Leprechaun Gold Coins—essential for crafting event items.
Items
Leprechaun Gold Coins
These special coins can be obtained by:
- Catching (or killing) Finnegan
- Finding a Pot 'O Gold at the end of a rainbow 🌈
🛠️ Used in the Smithy to craft all holiday items.
Loot Coins & Magical Loot Well
- Trade in Leprechaun Gold Coins to receive Loot Coins.
- Toss Loot Coins into the Magical Loot Well for a random loot reward.

Green Beer & Barrel
- The Green Beer Barrel brews Green Beer using:
- Verdberries
- Shamrocks
- Thatch
- Water
- Green Beer Buff: Grants the Luck of the Irish, which:
- Triples loot from Finnegan

Shamrock Shores Spawn Commands
Shamrock Shores LITE
When you are ready for the St. Patrick's season to be over on your server, you can simply shut down your server and replace this mod with the Shamrock Shores LITE version of the mod and all the creatures from this mod will no longer spawn, the green event colors on wild dinos will go away, the Pot'o'Gold will no longer spawn around the map, and the Magical Loot Well will no longer accept Loot Coins, as well as the Lucky Monkey Chibi will cease to give gifts and just function as a normal Chibi. However, all decorations, skins, and Leprechaun Bigfoot that have been tamed will all remain. Any Shamrocks, Shamrock Seeds, Golden Eggs, and Green Beer will continue to work until they are gone. Once gone, they cannot be acquired again until the full mod is added back to the server.
