**IF YOU KNOW HOW TO MODEL/ANIMATE FOR GECKOLIB PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE ON DISCORD, THERE ARE A LOT OF CREATURES THAT STILL NEED TO BE ADDED**

 

This mod is based off the mod "Fossil's and Archeology" by the Fossils and Archeology Revival team, code rewritten for fabric. And many textures have been used from the project(allowed through their license). Although I am hoping to add a lot of my own stuff into here.

 

If you'd like to contribute, consider joining the discord below.

 

 

Requires Geckolib 3.0.0

 

Tutorial (So far):

First, go to Diamond level, and find Fossils (Which generate naturally) 

 

These will have a random chance of dropping items, one of which is the Relic Scrap and the Fossil. (You may also obtain Fossils from putting sand or gravel in the Sifter)

Putting relic scraps within the Analyzer gives you a variety of items including the Ancient Sword and Ancient Helmet.
Hitting a passive animal with the ancient sword, has the chance of summoning a lightning bolt.

 

Scarabs are also found as a rare drop from the fossil block, when combined with a gold pickaxe it creates a tool better than diamond and gold but worse than Netherite.

 

Using a Fossil, you have a chance of getting DNA by putting it in an Analyzer

 

After,  you want to stuff the fossil into an Analyzer and fuel it using Bio Goo, allowing it to fertilize until you get an Egg.

 

An egg will need to placed in a constant lighting of 10 or greater for it to hatch. It takes around a day for it to hatch.

 

 

NOTICE: This mod is far from being complete, so far there are fossils, Scarab Tools, and the Ancient Helmet and Sword as well as the Archeology Workbench, Sifter, and Analyzer as well as most of their respective uses.

If anyone would like to help me with this project that would be awesome, there is a lot of finish and my coding sucks.
