The Fossils and Archeology mod adds a wide variety of blocks to Minecraft. These blocks can be crafted or occur naturally in the world. Amber Ore can only be obtained through Creative Mode.

8.0 UPDATE

NATURALLY SPAWNING BLOCKS

2015-10-24 22.42

Tar in a tar pit.

These blocks occur naturally in the world as ores or in tar pits. Fossils and permafrost are used in creating prehistoric creatures, while tar and volcanic rock are just for decoration. Iced stone has no use, as it drops cobblestone when mined.

MACHINES

A time-machine (center) surrounded by many different Fossils and Archeology blocks.

"Machine" is a word that loosely refers to any blocks that can be used to perform an action, like a crafting table or a furnace. Fossils and Archeology Revival adds several machines that are vital to the creature-reviving and relic-restoring processes of the mod.

Analyzer Feeder
Archeology Workbench Sifter
Bubble Blower Time-Machine (WIP)

PLANTS

Flowers

Dinosaurs aren't the only prehistoric things that can be recreated - there are plants, too! Fossilized seeds and spores can be cultivated into the seeds and spores of the prehistoric plants shown below. The palaeoraphe tree is the only tree added by the mod, which is made of palaeoraphe logs and palaeoraphe leaves.

2015-06-13 18.27

Four anubite statues, waiting to come alive.

BUILDING BLOCKS

2015-12-28 21.05

A fan-built structure that uses palaeoraphe stairs as a roof.

With so many mobs that need enclosures and different structures that can be found, the mod requires a few extra building blocks than what are provided in vanilla Minecraft. Most of these blocks are crafted out of blocks mentioned above and are purely for decoration; however, dense sand and reinforced glass were added in order to contain dinosaurs that can break blocks without forcing the player to use unsightly iron blocks.

Ancient Stone Brick Dense Sand Reinforced Glass
Ancient Stone Slab Palaeoraphe Plank Volcanic Brick
Ancient Stone Stair Palaeoraphe Door Volcanic Slab
Ancient Wooden Plate Palaeoraphe Fence Volcanic Stair
Ancient Wood Slab Palaeoraphe Slab
Ancient Wooden Stair Palaeoraphe Stair

DROPS

There are three blocks in this mod that are "drops." One is a true drop from a block, and the other two are "placed" by mobs.
