About Marvelous Menagerie: Paradoxical
Marvelous Menagerie: Paradoxical is a conjoined remake of Marvelous Menagerie and Odd Organisms, the old Unusual Prehistory addons, now turned into a singular stand-alone mod!
This mod adds new mobs to the world of Minecraft that can be obtained through brand new innovative prehistoric creature "revival" system using rifts in time and space to bring these creatures back from the depths of time! But not everything is smooth sailing, as there are naturally occuring rifts that conjure abominations from within; Do you dare challenge these mighty foes to build the prehistoric park of your dreams?
Getting Started
Craft a Paleontology Toolkit and the Paleonomicon! Uncover fossils without breaking them within the time limit in a brand new minigame and defeat mighty foes emerging from natural Time Fractures to obtain the resources necessary to build an altar and summon creatures! Once you have summoned at least two of them it will be easier to build the park of your dreams, as you can begin to repopulate these marvelous creatures!
