Prehistoric Fauna Mechanics

Breeding and Growth

Dinosaurs in Prehistoric Fauna do not follow standard Minecraft breeding rules.

1. Feeding: Herbivores are bred using specific prehistoric plants (Cycads, Ferns). Carnivores are often bred using specific meats
2. Eggs: Most dinosaurs will lay eggs after breeding. These eggs must be placed on a suitable block (usually sand or mulch) and kept safe from predators to hatch
3. Growth: Hatchlings are very small and vulnerable. They will grow over several Minecraft days into their adult forms

Fossil Cleaning

Players can find Fossiliferous blocks in the Overworld or within the prehistoric dimensions. Placing these in a Paleontology Table starts a cleaning process. This is the primary way to obtain rare materials and the DNA required for advanced mod features.
