Your Animals and Dinosaurs server, with the useful bits included.
Host your Animals and Dinosaurs server
Animals and Dinosaurs is a Minecraft 1.12.2 adventure built for CreeperHost hosting, combining exploration, wildlife, dinosaurs, technology, and progression through varied dimensions. Running on Forge 14.23.5.2838, the pack offers a broad collection of tools, creatures, structures, storage systems, and combat options for building an expansive world with friends.
Explore a Living World
Biomes O’ Plenty, Ruins, Additional Structures, Stellar Sky, and Xaero’s Minimap add variety to journeys across the Overworld. Better Animals Plus, Mo’ Creatures, ZAWA, Exotic Birds, ChocoCraft, and Lil’ Critters bring a wide range of wildlife to discover. JurassiCraft adds the pack’s dinosaur focus, while Pirates, Mowzie’s Mobs, Extra Golems, and other hostile encounters provide reasons to prepare before travelling far from home.
The pack also includes several destinations beyond the standard landscape. The Twilight Forest, NetherEx, and Hunting Dimension offer distinct places to explore, while Portal Gun and OpenBlocks Elevator make movement between areas more flexible.
Build, Craft, and Progress
Progression mixes practical automation with powerful equipment. Tinkers’ Construct, ArmorPlus, Mystical Agriculture, Chickens, Simple Generators, Ranged Pumps, and Simple Quarry support gathering and crafting. Refined Storage, Applied Energistics 2, Wireless Crafting Terminal, Iron Backpacks, Iron Chests, Ender Storage, and storage-focused utilities help organise materials as projects grow.
Chisels & Bits, MalisisDoors, Better Builder’s Wands, Fence Overhaul, Fence Jumper, and Chisel-based building tools support detailed bases. Tree Chopper, VeinMiner, Simple Harvest, Fast Leaf Decay, and Crafting Tweaks streamline common tasks without changing the pack’s exploration focus.
CreeperPanel Tools for Modpack Servers
CreeperPanel provides one-click modpack installation and updates while preserving configuration changes. Built-in tools help manage files, mods, configurations, players, inventories, worlds, and backups, with features for diagnosing lag when you need to investigate an issue.
CreeperHost uses game-server hardware selected for strong native CPU performance and stability. DDoS protection and location choice are included, helping you select a setup that fits your community’s geographic needs.
Support for Your Adventure
Eligible Premium and Pro services can use Ask Theo to inspect the current panel state and prepare safe next steps for approval. Real support staff are also available, with experience hosting modded Minecraft communities since 2011.
With its combination of animals, dinosaurs, dimensions, automation, storage, and building tools, Animals and Dinosaurs gives explorers plenty to discover while leaving room for creative bases and long-term progression.
Got questions? 
Yes. Order from a modpack page and the selected pack is ready to install. You can also change versions or choose another supported pack later from CreeperPanel.
Our pack tooling first turned a CurseForge client pack into a server on 31 March 2017, long before generative AI entered the picture. Built by experienced members of the modded Minecraft community, it works out which files a dedicated server needs, automatically detects known client-only mods before they get in the way, and prepares the right Minecraft, modloader, and launch setup. It also watches pack starts: if one crashes, the failure is automatically reported to our team so we can see what actually happened and improve the handling. Automation is only the first line. When a pack needs its own fix or setup step, our team can build one rather than forcing everything through the same rigid template.
Yep. CreeperPanel lets you search for and install extra mods, then update, enable, or disable them alongside the rest of the pack. It checks the Minecraft version and modloader and warns you about known client-only mods. Mods can still disagree with each other, because modded Minecraft, but you get proper tools and real people to help rather than a folder full of mystery files.
CreeperPanel is built around real modded servers, including update paths that aim to preserve user configuration changes where supported instead of treating every update like a fresh install.
Yes. SaveGuard keeps automatic world backups on separate backup storage, away from the machine running your server, without using your allocated server disk. It stores only what changed between saves, so even losing the whole game node would not take the protected worlds with it.
If your world still exists when the service ends, Save Your World keeps a copy for up to a year. Come back later and you can restore it to a new service in one click, picking up where you left off.
Eco can work for lighter packs, but Premium is the recommended CreeperHost range for modded Minecraft. Premium gives stronger hardware, Turbo Start, Bonus Memory, and Ask Theo where enabled.
