Suggestion:
A complete "ground up" remake of Crewmate's Prehistoric Datapack
different from weird birds, but all the models and such are reused from the original datapack, just ported over, and recoded to both fit your current coding style/actually work post 1.21

after your done with weird birds tho

Yes, I'll probably make a spiritual successor to that in the future. But it's gonna be using new textures since I've advanced in texturing ever since those days.

(sorry for not posting this here from the beginning)

Is there any Requirement for Ruptures and creatures from other times to start Spawning? I mean, the only things Ive seen since I installed the Data Pack are the Deer and the Crowbar, but I havent seen any trace of creatures from other times or Ruptures.

you installed the old version of the datapack where i (accidentally) left the spawning of ruptures off by default. this new version fixes that. pls reinstall.

I saw you use that exact same data pack on a test world, and it worked just fine there. Maybe it was just some unlucky factors that led to it not working. Send me anything else you think could have caused it 👍

Might be because I keep on updating the datapack versions on the same world, because a lot seems to be broken for me on that world lol

Hey guys! Updates won't come for at least two months, I've been working on a new project based on the Twitter ARG "Weird Birds."
Click here for more info.

With this Data Pack, ruptures of space and time bring in creatures from the past and the future. It'll include creatures from the ARG, along with a few new ones!

Wait, is Megalodon coming back 😱
Just saw it on the planned mobs list.
I kinda miss it... even when it killed like all of my villagers in my Iron Farm and made me restart like 10 times lol

If you research into it, Otodus is an animal genus that can refer to giant sharks like Megalodon, so it's just a Megalodon but with a less specific name.

Is high regeneration for godzilla planned? (he still doesn't have it in the mod, and he really needs it since otherwise hes easily killed and can't recover from damage). Seriously, godzilla REALLY needs regeneration, as his own atomic breath kills him because he can't heal

I think it's more an issue with the datapack itself, for some odd reason it wont regenerate except for very very random moments. I think you may need to make it so it has regeneration every tick. You did manage to get it resistant to its atomic breath tho, good job on that

yea i just set it to be invulnerable whenever its atomic breath explodes

btw it regenerates whenever it roars

Ideas (if possible anyway)
Prehistory datapack:
Exploding cycads (reference to the now discontinued game dinosaur arcade, would add a nice survival aspect. When the cycad is touched it explodes with the force of a tnt)
Meteors (occur every 27 nights during meteor shower events, each meteor lands with the force of half a tnt, though ignites fire. The meteors drop special items on top of this)
Velociraptor and protoceratops (I feel the datapack is missing actually small animals, so these two would serve as a nice way to fill that niche)
Kaiju datapack:
Small godzilla being resistant to explosion it generates via its atomic breath (this is a common reason it flatout dies in my experience)
AOE attack for kaiju (would allow them to fair better against whole groups of mobs, such as guards from the guard villager mod)

Response:
- I'll consider the exploding cycads.
- I'm not sure about meteors but I do agree that the datapack should have some sort of natural disaster thing in it
- I already have multiple small animals planned (Compsognathus, Mononykus, Lystrosaurus)
- I quietly updated the Kaiju Datapack a few days ago and it already added your critiques on Godzilla.
- Multiple AOE attacks have already been added to both Prehistory and Kaiju, are you sure we need more?

Natural Disasters sound quite destructive, dunno if it would be too hard, but if you do add them please add a toggle lol.
I've had a fair share of experiences of my world getting unplayable because some mod / datapack I downloaded just bombs everything 💀

Also, one small question
Could creature anims be made smoother? (I assume the animations are made by swapping between models, so just adding more models between the walking intervals should make them smoother)
This would dramatically boost the datapack's popularity i believe and allow for some more cool animations (ex: walking animations not being so janky they dont look right)
Although to make it smooth you might have to do 20 models per second to make the anims smooth..

I'm more familiar with designing mods, so I'm fairly unfamiliar with how datapacks work.

The walking animation is one model with an animated texture. (Textures take up less space than multiple models)
Better animations is something I already am planning. Better walking and a bonus animation for the mobs that use custom attacks
It'll be less janky but still expect like 4-6 fps on the animations

"Long Term Plans:
- Prehistoric Bounties
- Playable Mobs
- More Animations!
- book that lets you change spawns and event and whatnot (?????)
- Custom mob daily activities (feed, graze, hunt, etc.)"

4-6 fps is already better than the 0.5 fps of current anims

I was unsatisfied with the method I used to make a melee-attacking Megalodon, so Imma just bite the bullet and make its base mob a guardian again.

Remodeled it so that a laser-shooting shark makes more sense

Definitely a good change, because the Megalodon killed stuff through walls :'(
But the rounded eyes and teeth don't fit the Vanilla feel in my opinion.
The Model looks good, but maybe the facial part might need a little rework.

Maybe take inspiration from your Megalodon or other Shark mods, not sure if you think it would fit, but in my opinion Shark teeth should be blocky and wouldn't be bad if the eyes were also block-ish.
Hope I'm not putting too much work onto your Shoulders.
You're really a dedicated worker.
Good job Crewmate!

Finished:
- Tyrannosaurus follow range (self-explanatory, IRL tyrannosaurus had good eyesight so the one here should too)
- Megalodon spawn fix (squids spawn alot, megalodon relies on squids to spawn = megalodon spawns alot, megalodon no longer uses squids to spawn)
- Re-evaluate mob spawns and boots (no more errors)
- Triceratops block-breaking (triceratops and other large herbivores can now break leaves)
- kraken spawn fix (errors in kraken commands are now fixed)
- buff godzilla (godzilla is now bulletproof and strong against golems)

Ah, okay, as in, heres an example

Spinosaurus health: 70 - 140
Similarly, tyrannosaurus: 62 - 124
Basically, every hp in the mod is doubled for any creature larger than utahraptor
If thats already done then its good.

Didn't double the health, I only increased their health by 2/3 since I didn't want any non-sauropod animal's health to be pushing above 120.
Spinosaurus' health is now 114, and Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis' health is 100. (Both can kill the other within 13 hits)

btw I'm not adding a tameable Godzilla, at least not one that is truly a Godzilla, so maybe it'll be godzooky or zilla or something

also, i cannot see a way that spawnings can be customized, only enabled or disabled
