About this Mod

Unearth the past. Create the future.

Prehistorica brings prehistoric life to Minecraft with a focus on exploration, discovery, and dinosaur creation. Venture into the wild to find ancient structures, fossils, and DNA samples. With the right tools and research, you can bring two incredible dinosaurs back to life: the swift Gallimimus and the fearsome Baryonyx.

Explore ruined labs, forgotten temples, and mysterious dig sites as you piece together the secrets of a lost age. Use fossil DNA to craft dino eggs, hatch them, and watch your prehistoric creatures roam the world once more!

Frequently Asked Questions

Prehistorica server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Prehistorica compatible with forge?

Prehistorica officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Prehistorica – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Prehistorica consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
