Creature Revival Process
Finding Fossils
Finding fossils is quite simple - they generate throughout the world. However, different animal species require specific types of fossils. For example, dinosaurs can only be obtained from Mesozoic fossils and amber, while more ancient creatures are revived from Paleozoic fossils.
Analyzing Finds
After discovering fossils, they must be placed in an analyzer along with flasks. After some time, you may obtain DNA from these fossils, though success is not guaranteed!
Cultivation
After obtaining DNA, throw it into a cultivator along with organic ooze. Be sure to click on the bottom part of the machine! After some time, you'll get an egg (or an additional step for live-bearing animals). If you have an egg, make sure to place it on organic blocks or in water if it's an aquatic egg!
Additional Step: Incubation
Some animals, as known, don't lay eggs but give birth to live young. For such creatures, it's necessary to place the embryo in a birthing pod. After some time, the pod will burst open, releasing the new animal into the world.

Questions and Answers
Question: Can X be added to the mod?
Answer: There's a high probability that X will appear in the future, but you can discuss your ideas on the Discord server.
Question: Will there be a Fabric port?
Answer: No, supporting two separate mod versions for different loaders requires too much work. The mod will never be ported to Fabric or other game versions.
Question: Can it be ported to version X?
Answer: We always strive to move to the latest version as quickly as possible, but we won't go back to older versions as it requires too much work, and that time can be spent more effectively.
