Frequently asked questions

How do I find prehistoric creatures in my world?
Different creatures spawn in specific biomes: frozen biomes have Cryossaurus and Cryolodon, lush areas spawn Floraceratops, oceans contain PrimalSquid, forests have Megacat, and Pterohusher flies in the sky across most biomes. Explore these environments and you'll encounter them naturally as you travel.
What do I need to tame a creature?
Each creature has a favorite food—for example, Floraceratops wants Melon Blocks, Pterohusher wants Raw Salmon or Raw Chicken, and Megacat wants Raw Meat. Approach the wild creature and feed it repeatedly until you see heart particles appear, then it's tamed.
How do I control my tamed creature after taming it?
Hold a Stick in your main hand and right-click on your tamed companion to toggle between Follow Mode (pet follows you) and Stay Mode (pet remains in place). An on-screen message confirms which mode is active.
Can I have multiple tamed creatures at once?
Yes, you can tame multiple creatures and manage them all with the same Stick tool. Each pet can be individually toggled between following and staying, allowing you to build a full team of prehistoric companions.
Why won't a creature eat the food I'm offering?
Make sure you're feeding it the correct food for that species—each creature has specific dietary preferences listed in the taming guide. Also ensure you're close enough and approaching peacefully without attacking it.
Do tamed creatures fight other mobs or defend me?
Tamed creatures act as loyal companions that follow your commands via the Stick tool, but their combat behavior depends on the specific creature type and mod settings. Check whether your tamed pets will engage hostile mobs in your world.
What's the difference between Follow Mode and Stay Mode?
Follow Mode makes your pet move with you wherever you go, while Stay Mode locks them in place so they won't wander. Use Stay Mode to keep creatures at a sanctuary or base while you explore.
Can I breed tamed prehistoric creatures?
Breeding mechanics vary depending on mod configuration. Check your specific mod version's settings or documentation to see if tamed creatures can reproduce or if there are other ways to increase your creature population.
Do these creatures drop items when they die?
Prehistoric creatures may drop materials when defeated, but drops depend on the creature type and mod settings. Avoid killing your tamed companions unless you intend to—use Stay Mode to keep them safe at your base.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Large creatures with custom animations can impact performance depending on your system and how many spawn nearby. If you experience lag, try reducing creature spawn rates in mod settings or limiting the number of tamed pets you keep active at once.
