Archie's Dinos
Watch the trailer
The dinos from the Archie Blocks channel, finally in your world. Tame, ride and raise them alongside Archie.
Seven species, five biomes
Meet the Dinos
Every dino has its own biome, temperament and a taming hook you will need to figure out. Some want food. Some want a fight. One wants nothing to do with you.
Therimoss
A peaceful jungle giant that leaps high and climbs cliffs. Its claws double as weapons.
Coralosaurus
Sleeps hidden among warm-ocean coral. Once tamed it serves as barge and submarine.
Obsidiceratops
A block-breaking Nether tank that hauls loot. Keep it fed with lava or it turns on you.
Sculkraptor
A blind, agile Deep Dark hunter. Two or more together can echo your position to every mob.
Chorusoatl
A winged End menace, deadly in a flock. Lure one with chorus fruit or leap onto its back.
Sculksaur
The Warden's nightmare. It breaks through walls to reach you and never backs down.
What you get
More than Dinos
A full progression loop built around the dinos, from your first tame to the deep dark.
Taming
Earn their trust
Every species has its own taming ritual. Food, patience, courage or a stolen egg. Once tamed, dinos follow, fight and carry you.
Progression
The Guidebook
Archie's guidebook fills with stamps as you discover, tame and breed each species.
Endgame
Slay the Sculksaur
Farm gear from every dino you tame, forge the strongest set and take down the apex predator of the Deep Dark.
Breeding
Raise the next generation
Pair two tamed dinos, hatch the egg and grow a herd with traits of its own.
Companion
Archie
A paleontologist NPC who trades, gives quests and gets in the way.
No new world needed
Add it to the world you already play

No reset

Yes, with the Bedrock release. Marketplace Add-Ons run on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, iOS, Android and Windows.
Same seven dinos, same guidebook, same progression. Some balancing differs between editions, for example a few of Archie's trades on Java unlock through mastery stamps.
Yes. Dinos show up in newly explored areas, so travel beyond the places you have already been to find them.
Almost always. It adds new content and leaves vanilla mobs, blocks and items alone, so conflicts are rare.
