ArkCraft Dinosaur Addon 1.5.1 for MCPE 1.26+.mcaddon

ArkCraft Dinosaur Addon 1.5.1 is a large Minecraft Bedrock wildlife and survival expansion inspired by ARK. It adds two linked packs, more than one hundred prehistoric creatures, wyverns, aquatic animals, taming and breeding systems, saddles, tools, weapons, food, storage and scripted creature management. This guide describes the files included in the supplied addon and keeps the original identifiers unchanged.

1. Overview

• The Behavior Pack contains entities, spawn rules, recipes, functions and JavaScript systems.
• The Resource Pack contains models, textures, animations, sounds and translated display names.
• The two packs are version 1.5.1 and are designed to work together as a dependency pair.
• The Behavior Pack declares a minimum engine version of 1.19.40 and uses @minecraft/server 2.4.0 and @minecraft/server-ui 2.0.0.
• The Resource Pack declares a minimum engine version of 1.20.32 and depends on the matching Behavior Pack.
• The addon includes a custom stats screen, sleeping taming, breeding, cryopods, feeders, whistles, mutations, saddles and flight systems.

2. Included packages

Package	Version	Type	Purpose	Load order
ArkCraft Behavior 1.5.1	1.5.1	Behavior Pack and scripts	Gameplay logic, entities, recipes, spawning and functions	Load before the Resource Pack
ArkCraft Resource 1.5.1	1.5.1	Resource Pack	Textures, models, sounds, animations and names	Load after the Behavior Pack

Do not install a different version of either pack beside these files. The Resource Pack dependency UUID points to the supplied Behavior Pack UUID, so both packs must remain paired.

3. Creatures, dragons and mobs

The table below lists the creature files included under entities/generacion_z, together with the special utility entities used by the systems. The description is a practical role description, not a replacement for each entity's internal statistics.

4. Basic gameplay instructions

Receiving items

1. Activate both packs in a test world with cheats enabled.
2. Use the creative inventory and search for the ArkCraft display name, or use the exact identifier in a command such as /give @s arkcraft:cryopod.
3. Craft normal items at a crafting table and special ArkCraft items at a Smithy when the recipe tag is smithy.
4. Craft or obtain the Tame Guide first. It is made from two leather pieces and is useful when learning creature food rules.

Hatching eggs

1. Obtain a nest egg such as a Wyvern, Rock Drake, Magmasaur, Deinonychus or Velonasaur egg when that creature supports it.
2. Prepare a safe, enclosed temperature-controlled area. Use the Tek Incubator where available; its recipe uses Termic Wool, Ovogenesis Modules, Iron Blocks and a Netherite Ingot.
3. Place the egg or incubator and wait for the entity's incubation process. Keep the area loaded and protect the egg from hostile mobs.
4. After hatching, feed the baby with the valid diet for its family. The UI can show valid sleeping tame foods and current food values.

Raising and breeding

• Keep young creatures fed and near a feeder when the species supports the feeder system.
• Use the breeding and ovogenesis systems for compatible adults. Stats include health, damage, speed, oxygen, food efficiency and fertility.
• Use cryopods to store a creature safely. A cryopod is a Smithy recipe made with Glass, Redstone, Iron Ingots and Oil.
• Use the creature interaction UI to inspect level, gender, owner, food, torpor, effects, following state and movement state.

Taming

1. Find a wild creature and identify its family and diet. Carnivore, herbivore, insectivore, aquatic and special diets use different foods.
2. For knockout taming, use a club, tranquilizing arrows or other configured tools, then feed the unconscious creature valid food and protect it until taming completes.
3. For passive or sleeping taming, use the valid food list shown by the stats UI. Sneak-interact with the sleeping creature to inspect progress.
4. Some creatures cannot be tamed by the ordinary sleeping method and explicitly show a warning in the UI. Follow their special food or interaction rule.
5. After taming, rename the creature, check its owner and equip the saddle accepted by that species.

Riding and flying

1. Tame the creature and craft its configured saddle: for example Medium Carnivore, Big Carnivore, Big Herbivore, Argentavis, Arthropod, Big Fantasy or a species-specific saddle.
2. Place the saddle in the creature's saddle slot and interact to mount. A rideable component is only present on configured creatures.
3. For flyers, use the movement controls supplied by Bedrock and the creature's flight profile. Argentavis, Quetzalcoatlus, Wyverns and other flyers do not all share the same speed or attack controls.
4. Use a Whistle Menu, Follow Horn or Force Tame Whistle when the corresponding item is available. The built-in function for the force tame whistle gives arkcraft:force_tame_whistle.

Collecting materials

• Use the Sickle for fiber and plant materials, the Axe and Chainsaw for wood, the Drill for stone or metal work, and the Fishing Net or Fishing Spear for aquatic resources.
• Oil, raw and cooked Ark meat, raw and cooked Ark fish, cactus, pelt, chitin-like materials, crystals and special drops are used throughout the recipes.
• Use the food jar, oil jar, buckets and storage items to preserve, transport or process resources.
• Check the recipe folder if a resource name is not obvious; the pack contains separate recipes for raw, cooked, processed and tiered versions.

5. Crafting recipe reference

The Behavior Pack contains 161 recipe files. Most recipes are shaped recipes, and saddle, cryopod, incubator, taming and advanced tools use the Smithy tag. The following table is the complete recipe family index; files with a copy suffix are duplicate variants retained by the addon.

Recipe family	Included outputs or variants

For exact grid patterns, open the matching JSON file in ArkCraft Behavior 1.5.1/recipes. For example, the Cryopod pattern is Glass-Redstone-Glass, Iron-Glass-Iron, Oil-Iron-Oil. The Argentavis Saddle uses leather horse armor, colored wool, an Iron Block and Leads. The Tek Incubator uses Termic Wool, Ovogenesis Modules, Iron Blocks and a Netherite Ingot.

6. Special equipment effects

Equipment	Effect or purpose
Cryopod	Stores a tamed creature for transport and deployment.
Tek Incubator	Supports egg incubation and breeding-related management.
Magnifying Glass	Provides creature inspection; the Ascendant version is the advanced variant.
Whistle Menu and Follow Horn	Provides group or follow control for compatible tamed creatures.
Force Tame Whistle	Special administrative utility. Use only in worlds where cheats or operator permissions are acceptable.
Saddles	Enable riding and, for configured flyers, controlled flight. The saddle family must match the entity.
Whips	Tiered utility and combat items; Magmasaur Whip is a separate special variant.
Pelt and Shadow armor	Protective equipment intended for cold, exploration or special creature-themed loadouts.

7. Useful in-game commands

Command	Use
/give @s arkcraft:tame_guide	Give the Tame Guide.
/give @s arkcraft:cryopod	Give a Cryopod.
/give @s arkcraft:force_tame_whistle	Give the Force Tame Whistle.
/function give_force_tame_whistle	Run the supplied function that gives the whistle to the executing player.
/function ride	Run the included ride helper for the nearest configured context.
/function spawntralka	Run the included Tralkasaurus-related spawn helper.
/summon arkcraft:raptor	Summon a creature by its namespace and identifier. Replace the identifier with any valid entity ID.
/function arkcraft_big_block_clear	Run the supplied large-block clearing helper; use carefully because it changes the world.

Entity identifiers are normally in the arkcraft: namespace. Use the exact identifier from the entity file when a name contains a special spelling or variant.

8. Installation steps

1. Back up the world before installing the addon.
2. Import or copy both pack folders into Minecraft Bedrock's development or behavior/resource pack locations as appropriate for your platform.
3. Create a new test world, open Behavior Packs, and activate ArkCraft Behavior 1.5.1.
4. Open Resource Packs and activate ArkCraft Resource 1.5.1.
5. Keep the matching Resource Pack directly above the matching Behavior Pack when the UI displays pack order. The important dependency rule is that the Resource Pack must resolve to Behavior Pack UUID e77781f2-7abd-4746-a600-93829e6a9cd4.
6. Enable the experiments or scripting options requested by your Bedrock version if the world reports that a script dependency cannot start.
7. Enable cheats for testing commands, then enter the world and verify that ArkCraft spawn eggs, names, sounds and the Tame Guide are available.
8. Do not combine this installation with another addon that replaces the same ArkCraft namespace, entity identifiers, recipes or scripts.

9. Minecraft Bedrock compatibility

Version range	Compatibility	Reason
1.19.0-1.19.39	Not supported	Below the Behavior Pack minimum engine version 1.19.40.
1.19.40-1.20.31	Partial	Behavior Pack minimum is met, but the Resource Pack declares 1.20.32.
1.20.32-1.20.x	Supported baseline	Both declared minimum engine versions are met.
1.21.x	Generally supported	Uses modern Bedrock scripting APIs, but test on the exact release because API behavior can change.
1.26+	Expected with testing	The pack is marked for MCPE 1.26+ in its distribution name, but its manifest minimums are older and no 1.26-specific guarantee is declared in the files.

10. Common troubleshooting

• Missing textures or purple entities: confirm that the matching Resource Pack is enabled and above the Behavior Pack.
• Entities do not spawn: check difficulty, biome, light level, spawn rules and whether another addon changes the same mob cap.
• Recipes do not appear: use the correct workstation. Many recipes are tagged smithy, not the vanilla crafting table.
• Scripts fail to load: verify the Bedrock version, dependency versions, experiments and that both pack UUIDs are from the same 1.5.1 release.
• A creature cannot be ridden: tame it first, equip the exact saddle family and confirm that the entity is configured as rideable.
• Taming stops: use the food list in the creature UI, keep the creature loaded, prevent damage and avoid feeding an invalid food.
• Eggs do not hatch: keep the chunk loaded, use the supported incubator or temperature setup and do not rename or replace the egg identifier.
• World becomes slow: reduce the number of active creatures, feeders, projectiles and scripted effects, and test with other addons disabled.

11. Frequently asked questions

Do I need both packs?

Yes. The Behavior Pack supplies gameplay and the Resource Pack supplies the visual and audio assets.

Can I use only the Resource Pack?

No. It depends on the matching Behavior Pack and will not provide the addon mechanics alone.

Are all creatures tameable?

No. Taming rules are creature-specific. The UI reports valid foods and warns when sleeping taming is unavailable.

Can every creature fly?

No. Only entities configured with flight behavior and a compatible saddle can be controlled in the air.

Where can I find exact recipes?

Open the JSON files in the Behavior Pack's recipes folder. The guide's recipe table groups every included recipe family.

Can I use commands in survival?

Only when cheats or operator permissions are enabled. Commands and force-tame utilities can change progression and should be reserved for testing or administration.
