About Unusual Prehistory 2
Unusual Prehistory 2 is a complete remake of Unusual Prehistory! This mod adds the ability to revive a variety of prehistoric creatures and plants with various ways to interact with them.
Quick Start Guide
To begin your journey to resurrect prehistoric plants and animals, you need to find fossils found throughout the world. Search through mineshafts, jungle temples, desert temples, or dungeons to find fossil site maps and machine parts. Follow the map and dig down to find a buried fossil! Using a brush, you can find fossils in suspicious blocks around the fossil site. Once you have fossils and machine parts, you can craft a transmogrifier and fuel it with organic ooze to revive extinct plants and animals!
