Help Wanted: PrehistoriCraft – Paleoaccurate Dinosaur Mod

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m working on a Minecraft mod that aims to bring paleoaccurate prehistoric creatures into the game — think Fossils & Archeology + Jurassicraft, but with a focus on scientific accuracy.

So far, I’ve already:
✅ Created several models (Daspletosaurus, Arthropleura, Agnostida, Yohoia, and Anomalocaris)
✅ Designed a Fossil Analyzer with working GUI (doesn't have any working Procedures)
✅ Added hatching egg entities and growth stages

But this project is getting big and stressful for one develper, and I could use some help!


🔧 What I Need Help With:

  • Modeling & Animations: Adding more creatures (Argentinosaurus, Dire Wolf, etc.) with smooth animations
  • Textures: Paleoaccurate skins with shading/feathering/scales
  • Procedures & Logic: Complex behavior (growth stages, hunger system, breeding, ambient AI)
  • Testing: Balancing spawn rates, recipes, and making sure nothing breaks

🧪 The Goal:

Create a mod that:

  • Lets players discover fossils, extract DNA, and bring prehistoric creatures back to life
  • Features scientifically accurate designs (feathers, proper proportions, realistic behavior)
  • Adds a progression system (fossil digging → DNA analysis → hatching → caring for creatures)

🛠 What I’m Using:

  • MCreator 2025.2 for coding & procedures
  • Blockbench for models & animations

💬 How to Get Involved:

If you’re interested in helping — whether you’re a modeler, texture artist, coder, or just want to brainstorm ideas — reply to this post or DM me!


🦕 Why You Might Like This:

If you love dinosaurs, prehistoric life, and mods like Fossils & Archeology or Jurassicraft, you’ll probably have a blast working on this.
