Sixty Six Million Years In The Making
Modpackby BestInSlotYoutube
Minecraft 1.18.2 | 150+ Mods | Forge | Expands Minecraft with tech, biomes and more that thematically fit the Fossils & Archaeology mod.
Description

If you've been following my Minecraft Dinosaurs series over on Youtube - this is the modpack I'm using for that series. The pack will update on a monthly basis if I've made changes to the modlist, or to update pre-existing mods.
The goal of this pack is to enable the Fossils & Archaeology mod by expanding the world with biomes, terrain, and tech that feels logical for a dinosaur zoo/lab type scenario, as well as plenty of building, utility, quality of life and performance mods to make general gameplay more enjoyable.
A full list of mods included in the pack can be found at this link. Graphic mods are included by default (but not enabled) from V0.2 onwards; https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yR_kdGH3RdyTyOfarFmUXe2wF9-MN7b4RudBeTEr0kU/edit?tab=t.0
And remember to subscribe to the channel if you're enjoying the playthrough or this mod pack!; https://www.youtube.com/@BestInSlotGaming
