- This item will be released on November 3, 2024
This mod, as the title suggests, is going to breathe new life into our Minecraft world by adding creatures that, however, date back to millions and millions of years ago. There is talk of almost a dozen new mobs inspired by real animals: they are both hostile and not, and there are all kinds. We will therefore be able to see them on land, in the water or even in the sky.
To populate our world with these creatures it will be necessary to follow special procedures. First you need to find their fossils, which are located underground. At this point there will be a need to extract their DNA using a new device introduced by the mod, the Analyzer. Finally, after placing the DNA inside a subspecies of incubator, it will be enough to place the eggs on the ground and wait for them to hatch. All this procedure will lead to the birth of mobs dating back to the Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous period!

The Recipe Fixer comes to the rescue to solve this problem, giving a simple solution: the mod in fact adds several new crafting recipes within the game, in such a way as to make certain objects much easier to find.
The most interesting factor of this mod, therefore, is undoubtedly the possibility of finally being able to create those objects that, normally, can only be obtained by finding them around your Minecraft world, such as bells, nameplates or even the mycelium. In addition, the mod also inserts new crafting recipes to simplify the obtaining of some objects that were already previously craftable, but which perhaps could only be created with the basic wood or stone of the game.

Another mod suitable for those who focus their Minecraft experience on building is the Opulence, which gives some of the most important minerals, such as the Diamond, the Gold and the Emerald, an important cosmetic purpose. If in the basic version of the game it is possible to use these materials only to create simple blocks, this mod allows you to create almost any decorative item that you can craft with simpler items, such as wood or stone.
With this mod, therefore, it will be possible to use the three materials mentioned above to craft new decorative blocks, including different variations of the basic ones, chiseled blocks, steps, slabs and so on. Furthermore, in the future, the developer of Opulence intends to add these innovations also for other minerals such as Iron, Bronze and Netherite, together with new types of blocks, so it is a mod to keep an eye on .

In fact, Sculked implements dozens and dozens of new objects of all types, which can both be found in nature and directly crafted.
The mod focuses equally on both blocks and decorations: not only are tons of new variations of Sculk and Deep Slate blocks added, but also tons of objects, including plants, cobwebs, bars and much more.

This add-on will allow you to produce your wine from scratch: from the collection of primary resources such as grapes to crushing the grains to obtain the juice, up to the aging process to produce wine and bottle it.
The grape plants, both red and white, are then implemented, together with those of the cherry. It will in fact be possible to create fruity wines, not only with the latter fruit but also with apple.

#9 — Apocalyptic Fortress
- Modloader: Forge
- Version: 1.19.2
- Additional files: GeckoLib
- This item will be released on November 11, 2024
Le Fortresses of the Nether they have remained almost unchanged over the years, since they were introduced in the game, and this has inevitably led to making them extremely repetitive in their structure. The Apocalyptic Fortress works on just that, renewing the appearance of these buildings and making them decidedly more interesting.
With this mod we will therefore find new and renewed designs, which will allow us to explore the Fortresses with a decidedly different perspective. The addition of various new building blocks also contributes to this, together with new interesting objects that will refresh our gaming experience: for example, in these structures it will be possible to find chests locked by a padlock, which can only be opened with a certain key, and which hide treasures not to be missed.
#10 — Spice of Life: Apple Pie Edition
- Modloader: Forge
- Version: 1.18.2
- Additional Files: No
- This item will be released on November 17, 2024
A new mod belonging to the Spice of Life series was born, and this time it's the Apple Pie Edition. Just like the others, this add-on is also focused on making in-game feeding more realistic and rewarding by implementing a mechanic that grants bonuses when the player consumes different types of food, to encourage not to always eat the usual things endlessly. This mod, however, goes to further encourage the consumption of real meals, made up of more complicated dishes, rather than single foods.
Basically, this mod can be used with the vanilla version of the game, but it is much more suitable to be used together with other add-ons focused on adding food, such as the Farmer's Delight or Pam's Harvestcraft, in order to have definitely a lot more food available.
