Prehistoric Legacy FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get my first dinosaur?
You need to find fossils by mining or exploring, then use the mod's revival mechanics to bring them back to life. Alternatively, enable the doDinoSpawn gamerule to make dinosaurs spawn naturally in the Overworld without needing fossils.
What's the difference between reviving fossils and natural spawning?
Reviving fossils requires you to collect them and use special items/mechanics to restore dinosaurs, giving you more control. Natural spawning (via doDinoSpawn gamerule) makes dinosaurs appear randomly in the world without any extra work.
How do I breed dinosaurs?
Refer to the breeding guide for detailed mechanics, but generally you'll need to feed dinosaurs specific foods and ensure they're in suitable conditions before they can produce offspring.
Why are my dinosaurs dying or disappearing?
Dinosaurs can be killed by hostile mobs, fall damage, or starvation if not fed properly. Use the protection guide to learn how to keep them safe in enclosures or with defensive measures.
Can I tame dinosaurs like pets?
The mod focuses on raising and breeding dinosaurs rather than traditional taming, but you can control their behavior through feeding, breeding, and protective enclosures as covered in the raising guide.
Which dinosaurs are the most dangerous?
Meat-eating dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spinosaurus, and Velociraptor are aggressive hunters and will attack players and other creatures. Keep distance or build protective barriers if you want to keep herbivores safe.
Do dinosaurs need specific biomes to spawn or survive?
The mod adds dinosaurs to the Overworld naturally, though specific biome preferences may apply—check the species identification guide to learn where different dinosaurs are most likely to appear.
Can I keep water dinosaurs like the Tylosaurus in my base?
Yes, water dinosaurs like the Tylosaurus and Archelon can be managed in large water enclosures, but they require sufficient space and proper conditions to survive and breed.
What should I do if a dinosaur escapes my enclosure?
Aggressive dinosaurs can be dangerous to your base and other creatures—use the protection guide to learn how to recapture or contain them, or consider eliminating the threat if it's too dangerous.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Having many large dinosaurs loaded at once can impact performance depending on your system; consider limiting spawns with the doDinoSpawn gamerule or managing your dinosaur population through breeding controls.
