About this Mod

Note:

If installing as a datapack, make sure to download the Required Resource Pack from the Versions tab.

Big Beak

In trail ruins, you can find a Big Beak egg.

The egg will hatch in 5 minutes, or 2.5m if placed next to other eggs.

Tame the big beak to ride it. It will slowly glide to ground, and can maneuver in-air.

You can summon a Big Beak with the command:
/function prehistoric_mobs:summon/big_beak

Hungry Dripleaf

Sniffers can find this plant in lush caves.

The hungry dripleaf is a prehistoric variant of the big dripleaf. It will poison any mob standing on it. Sneak to avoid its attack.

If the mob dies, the dripleaf will grow.

You can give yourself a Hungry Dripleaf with the command:
/function prehistoric_mobs:hungry_dripleaf/give
