Overview

Prehistoric Fauna is a comprehensive overhaul mod that focuses on paleontological accuracy and immersive time travel. Unlike many dinosaur mods that simply add creatures to the Overworld, Prehistoric Fauna introduces distinct dimensions representing specific geological formations. Players can explore the Triassic Ischigualasto, the Jurassic Morrison and Kayenta, and the Cretaceous Hell Creek and Djadochta formations. Each dimension features unique ecosystems, weather patterns, and a food web consisting of over 30 accurately modeled species.
