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. There are currently 50 different prehistoric creatures added by the mod!
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. Fossils and Archeology Revival also now has built-in support for Thaumcraft, Just Enough Items, CraftTweaker and Tinker's Construct.

Wow! It's been just over a year since 1.12.2 came out! Feels like yesterday! Amazing job to everyone on the team who has put so much effort and time into this mod. This mod has been around for so long it's almost a fossil itself! Actually though amazing job everyone. I do think I remember hearing about a giganotosaurus though, any news on that?
Is there any way to allow dinos to spawn naturally?
are they going to do this mod for version 1.15.1?
are they spawn natural?
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the block breaking restriction in anu's lair dimension? or at least restrict it to the dungeon?
I layered the dimension above the nether with the dimensional layers mod to create a "sky Nether" above the nether thanks to the end island style landscape it creates when you travel away from the actual dungeon. I'm also working on more worldgen to implement to expand the story into these islands and make them livable with the help of a few other mods.
Please add "Queztzalcoatlus" It would be great to add a giant meat eating flying bird. AND PLEASE MAKE TYRANOSAURUS AND SPINOSAURUS BIGGER AND WITH MORE TEXTURES.
In reply to auzarilz19:
Queztzalcoatlus its gona get added sooner or later its on their list ;)
I have a small, um, suggestion? ZAWA has special potions that let tamed critters reproduce. It may be something to consider?
(this is only a small portion of what I woke up to... o.o )
There seems to be a glitch with the most recent version (8.0.3) in where the water creatures from the mosasaur to the spinosaur, even the new amphibians, cant stop jumping which means for one if they are ever on land they die from fall damage which makes its difficult to keep amphibians, it also means that on sea creature can stay underwater which kinda just looks stupid as they just keep jumping on the waters surface. If course I have no idea why this happens but I hope you can fix it soon as I do love this mod but this glitch is making it difficult to play with it
The problem crashes on version 1.7.10: The game crashed whilst there was a problem during mod loading that has caused the game to fail
Error: cpw.mods.fml.common.LoaderException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: fossilsarcheology / client / model / prehistoric / ModelTriceratops
What should I do?
In reply to neikncz:
when i understand right then java cant find a definition for the tricerstops. i would recommend deleting the mod and redownload it.
In reply to Miner_Tech_:
Thanks a lot, it works :)
it's going to be open for the version 1.15.1?
In reply to holakasesoyjoaquin:
Given that they haven't updated it for 1.13 or 1.14, I don't think so. It sounds like it would just be too much trouble to rewrite it as much as would be needed to move it to a new version.
Will you add a "Titanoboa" in the game because it would be great input to the mod and would be the first snake (it's a great idea) :>
or you can add Megatherium (would be cool too)
please do something you were supposed to do with a time machine because this item is one of the most interesting items and nothing can be done with it so please screw something with it
please add a giganotosaurus
please I wait patiently for you to add time travel and I hope you add a new mob to be the boss for the new dimension which will then be tameable and the Jörmungandr would look after all the mod is very beautiful and I appreciate the commitmentSome configs to turn off mobgriefing would be nice
