Frequently asked

Does The Ancient Dawn - Prehistoric Journey work on Minecraft 1.20.1?

Yes. 1.20.1 is the newest Minecraft version The Ancient Dawn - Prehistoric Journey declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Which loader does The Ancient Dawn - Prehistoric Journey need?

Forge. A build for one loader will not load on another, so this is the first thing to check before the Minecraft version.

Which Java version do I need for The Ancient Dawn - Prehistoric Journey?

Java 17 or newer, because that is what the newest Minecraft release it supports requires. The requirement comes from the game rather than from the modpack itself.

How do I install The Ancient Dawn - Prehistoric Journey?

Install the matching loader first, then put the downloaded file in your mods folder and start the game. The loader, the modpack and Minecraft all have to be on the same version, which is the usual reason a mod does not appear in game.

Where do I download The Ancient Dawn - Prehistoric Journey safely?

From the author's own page on CurseForge, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference never mirrors, re-hosts or repackages a file: every download button points at the original source, so you get exactly what the author published.
