How to Install the Prehistoric World 2 Modpack on a Minecraft Server

Updated

Prehistoric World 2 is an exploration and progression-focused Minecraft modpack that centers on uncovering fossils and interacting with extinct creatures. The core gameplay revolves around excavating remains, extracting genetic material, and reviving dozens of dinosaur and ancient mammal species. Players can travel to distinct historical periods, such as the Paleogene and Pleistocene eras, to gather resources and observe animals in their natural habitats. Beyond paleontology, the pack incorporates industrial automation and modern security systems, enabling the construction of reinforced research facilities and the defense against large predators.

Requirement: Prehistoric World 2 requires at least 8GB of RAM to run smoothly.
The manual method requires a fresh Forge Latest 1.20.1 installation. Learn how to here.
