Show »
1)Fossil
These fossil blocks looks like stone,but harder then stones.
It drops bio-fossil(22.5%),relics(23%),bones(40%),Skulls(10%),Broken Swords(5%),Scarab Gems(0.001%)
2)Skull/Skull Lantern
These are the skull of ancient minecraft civilization.No matter who they are,now they just remain skulls.
The skulls can put on the ground,put a torch inside and become a scary lantern,or you can change it into bone meals.
3)Analyzer
This machine is use for analyzing bio-fossils or relics.
You may heard about sometimes the scientist finds some live tissue in fossils that contains DNA.That is what analyzer working for.
Also,the analyzer can restore the relics into stoneboard,which may contains some important message form ancient civilization.
It’s easy to use.just put some bio-fossil or relics on the left side,and analyzer will put products on the right side automatically
4)Cultivate
If you got some DNA from analyzer,you may want to turn them back alive.Cultivate is what you need.
Just put DNA and some bio-fossil into it,and the machine will try to rebuild the cells,using organic items(bio-fossils,ancient eggs,raw pork chops,raw fishes,eggs,slimeballs,milk,Dino-meats,raw chicken soup,raw chicken,raw beef) as material.
It’s a complex process,so give some time for it.
If everything’s ok,you will get a ancient egg.
Be aware!!Sometimes ancient DNA doesn’t like what we known.Using cultivate may cause monster outbreak!
5)Archeology workbench
Broken sword is useless.You need some process to make it usable.
Unfortunately, 
is not decided for this.What you need is an archeology workbench.
With the micro-processor inside the workbench,it reads the information from relics and try to rebuild the ancient equipment,like swords.
Give it enough time and relics,and it will make a usable equipment for you.

Pterosaurs and T-Rexes will use it too.
9)Permafrost & Iced-Stones
The permafrost are frozen dirt that was from ice-age.
They are weak,and will melt to normal dirt if they expose to direct sunshine or heat sources.
But unlike the permafrost in real life,the permafrost in this mod have special power that can turn the stones around into iced-stones,which can protected the permafrost.
Iced-stone drops cobblestone,just like normal stones does.
permafrost drops Fern-seed,skulls,frozen-meat,bone and book.Shovel or empty-hands are needed.

After a long time waiting without outbreak,cultivate has rebuilt the DNAs into live, hatch-able eggs.
Now you can put the eggs on the ground and hatch it into living ancient creatures.

After a while(normally 5 minutes),the baby will be born.
21)Frozen Meat
These are the meat of some unlucky prehistoric animals that was trapped and been frozen alive.
We don’t know which animal it was,but analyzers could help.It has 66% to be a DNA,or 33% to be normal meat.
*If You are too hungry,you can put this into furnace to get some steak.
*If you are in danger,you also can use this to hit enemy since it’s hard enough.The effect is same as diamond sword,but the meat will break Immediately.

These javelins have difference material,and only can be found in weapon-shop relics.
