About this Modpack
Due to many requests, we have published most of our modpacks on Modrinth. But keep the following in mind:
- There are many content and optimization mods that can't be added to Modrinth (they don't allow it).
- The quests files have been added, but we cannot add FTB Quests to the modpack in Modrinth. You can add it yourself so you can play with them.
- We are also unable to upload serverpacks here.
If you want to play with the full experience, we strongly recommend that you download the CurseForge version.
Ready to build your Prehistoric Park?
You will start your adventure in a world where most of the dinosaurs are already extinct, although, there are still some alive in the world! Beware of the oceans, many dinosaurs have taken refuge there...
The goal of the modpack is for you to find fossils, extract the DNA, and use new machinery to bring the extinct dinosaurs back to life, as well as the prehistoric plants! In the quests section you will find a step-by-step guide.
Do you need a server to play with your friends?

Minecraft keeps loading? You enter the world but your FPS is low?
Please make sure to increase the RAM in case you need it, most problems are due to this. If you use the curseforge app, it's as easy as clicking on profile options, uncheck the option to use default memory system and move the bar to the right (at least we recommend 6GB or 6144 MB).
Is there an error with your server?
Unfortunately, when setting up a server on your own, or hiring a hosting that I have not recommended, the modpack may not work.
Please note that for this modpack, we recommend a minimum of 7GB of RAM. If you are a large number of players, you should consider increasing the amount of RAM even more.
