Nomad Horizon Expanded FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I get to the Pangea dimension?
You must visit the Nether first to unlock access to Pangea. Once you've been to the Nether, you can return to the Overworld and find the portal to Pangea, which will now be available for travel.
What's the best way to start with this mod?
Craft the Paleopedia book first—it contains essential information about all prehistoric mobs and mechanics. Then visit the Nether to unlock Pangea, where you can begin exploring ancient biomes and encountering dinosaurs.
Where do I find cooksonia plants?
Cooksonia plants spawn naturally across the ancient biomes in the Pangea dimension. Search through grassy fields and prehistoric areas to locate them for taming Xuwulongs.
How do I get different types of DNA?
Hunt Amber Mosquitos in Lush Caves, Deep Dark, and Dripstone Caves—they drop different DNA types (plant, fungus, water, or animal) depending on their variant. Giant Fleas in caves also yield valuable genetic material.
Can I ride dinosaurs other than the Xuwulong?
Yes, the Iberospinus is a rideable river predator found in Pangea's waterways. You can mount it directly, and shearing its scales provides materials for crafting the Swamp Macuahuitl weapon.
What does the Carved status effect do?
The Carved effect is a wither-like debuff inflicted by dangerous predators like the Carcharodontosaurus. It damages you over time, so avoid prolonged exposure to these apex predators or use shields to block their attacks.
How do I get Carcharodontosaurus teeth for weapons?
Block attacks from a Carcharodontosaurus using a shield—when it bites the shield, it will drop sharp teeth that you can collect and craft into weapons.
Do Herrerasaurus attack in groups?
Yes, Herrerasaurus pack together and will hunt coordinated targets when provoked. Avoid engaging multiple Herrerasaurus at once, or use terrain to separate them.
What happens if I attack an Eotriceratops?
Eotriceratops use their heavy body weight to deliver massive knockback attacks when threatened. Be prepared to be pushed back forcefully if you engage one in combat.
Can I find prehistoric creatures in the regular Overworld?
Most prehistoric creatures spawn exclusively in the Pangea dimension's ancient biomes. Amber Mosquitos and Giant Fleas are exceptions, spawning in specific cave types in the regular Overworld.
