Fossils and Archeology Revival
Thank you all for the continued patience! We are proud to have made the jump to 1.12.2 after 2.5 years of what basically amounts to rewriting everything from scratch. We are very thankful for everyone that continued to have hope in us even when in times everything seemed hopeless. As for the people who gave up, we hope that we'll see you again when you rediscover our mod! Next update should take much less time... hopefully haha!
Fossils and Archeology first started off in Minecraft beta 1.7.2 under the original author, Flammarilva and Team July. Since going open source at the end of 2012, the Revival project started under a new team and has been going since.
The mod offers a variety of dinosaurs that are brought back to life through discovering bones, extracting DNA, creating Embryos, and making eggs. Along with dinosaurs there are other prehistoric creatures such as mammoths, smilodons, terror birds, dodos, and more.
Alongside with the new mobs you are able to make, there is an archaeological aspect for the people who like to explore more or collect beautiful new blocks.

Hey, love this mod, have added it into every modpack I played since 1.7.10. Honestly bang up job. Love the DNA system, love the sheer variety, love the archaelogical aspect sprinkled in. But while this mod is onee of my all time favourites, it does have its drawbacks. Please note that these are all issues which ahve been with the mod for a while now, and getting them fixed would immensely improve the mod.
- The world generation is extremely disrespectful. Temples spawn with no regard to anything, same with the tents and dig sites. Making them have better checks would make it a much more smoother experience.
- Lack of config options, especially for the culture vats. I like how there is a chance of failure, but for me it feels like that chance is too damn high. I wish I could lower the chance or get rid of it completely. That, and having other config options in regard to the vats would be great.
-Some plants are bonemealable, some are not. It feels almost random which is which. Personally I would prefer that they all would be, but if a different mechanic of replicating plants could be added, that would be great as well. Maybe add an ancient vine as well?
These are the issues that have ailed me, especailly in the early game. I really do love this mod, but fixing these would make it that much more enjoyable for everyone else. Keep up the good work <3
Pls make this mod Minecraft version 1.14 - 1.14.4
In reply to nedforhunt_:
That won't happen for a while. It took the developers of the mod a few years to update from 1.7.10 to 1.12. The first 1.12 version was added last year. Also, most mods are on 1.12. It's the version that many developers have decided to update to or make mods for. I recommend you should use Forge 1.12 because it has WAY more mods that 1.14 or 1.13. If, however, you still want the Fossils and Archeology on 1.14, you're gonna be waiting a while.
please make it for 1.7.10 its easily the best version of Minecraft when it comes to mods!!! and its the only one I use and love this mod ;w;
In reply to partywolfishere:
They already have a 1.7.10 version. Actually they have many. But if you are asking that they go back and update it, it's very unlikely that would happen. They have moved to 1.12 now, which is the version that most mods have updated to and are on.
When I press play, it loads up Minecraft but then says "You must include the right dependencies for LLibrary: Requires Minecraft Forge 14.23.5.2772 or above (you have 14.23.5.2768)" if someone could help me out, that would be great
In reply to oerlikonmm:
Search for Minecraft Forge 14.23.5.2772 and download that. Going below that doesn't work because that forge doesn't support the mod
In reply to oerlikonmm: this mod need this https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/llibrary
dinopedia on mood doesn't work
I'm not sure if other people are experiencing this, I don't comment on forums much but whenever I load the game the cusom menu goes bonkers. It's flashing the screen with all the different sub titles and the buttons don't work. When I remove the mod the screen works and I can click on the buttons. Is there a fix to this or a way to remove the custom main menu?
Is there a new version? i got a reply on the github that the dinopedia bug was fixed but i deleted and redownloaded and nothing.
Can you add titanoboa
wheres the .jar folder
Hello, I've been playing on the 1.12.2 version of this and I noticed when I create a flat world with Generated Structures off, archaeology tents still pop up? I'm pretty sure this is a glitch and I'm hoping you can fix it!
I wanted to leave a complaint, I tried to play this mod that I always played in 1.7.10, and when I tried to play in 1.12.2 gave java error because my java is the last version released and the mod does not accept this version.In reply to otufozy:
You're aware Minecraft doesn't even support java newer than java 9 right (and even then, barely)? And MC just barely supports java 9, and with mods? definitely not! - If you aren't using Java 8, you shouldn't expect things to work. Also, you've written this message in possibly the most annoying to read format ever. Stop complaining, get off your a**, and install Java 8.
ffs
Apologies to you great devs up there, mod is pretty epic :)
eu queria deixar uma reclamação, eu tentei jogar esse mod que eu sempre joguei na 1.7.10, e quando tentei jogar na 1.12.2 deu erro de java pq o meu java é a ultima versão lançada e o mod não aceita essa versão
