Check the Project and Edition First
This Raxiores of Raxiore install guide covers the Minecraft Java mod published by The_Raxiores. The official CurseForge project page lists Minecraft 1.20.1, the Forge loader, and a client-and-server environment. Its description introduces custom dinosaurs and interactions with players. These are the project details to match before preparing your game.
This guide does not establish an official Bedrock port or compatibility with a similarly named add-on. A Java .jar is not a Bedrock behavior or resource pack. Follow the requirements of the specific file you select; do not substitute instructions from a different edition.

Prepare a Separate Java Profile
For a Raxiores of Raxiore install, start with a separate profile that matches the listed Minecraft version and loader. The steps below cover profile preparation and testing. Keep a backup of existing worlds before changing a working installation.
| Step | Action | What to Verify |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create a Java profile | Select Minecraft 1.20.1 and a compatible Forge installation. |
| 2 | Open the official project page | Confirm the project title and The_Raxiores author before choosing a file. |
| 3 | Read the selected file's requirements | Check its Minecraft version, loader, dependencies, and release notes. |
| 4 | Install into that profile | For manual installation, place the mod .jar in the profile's mods folder. |
| 5 | Launch a temporary world | Confirm that the profile starts before opening an important save. |
Use the official CurseForge listing to choose a release. Download counts and old version numbers in community articles do not determine compatibility. Do not rename a file or move it into a resource-pack directory to make it fit another edition.
Test Before Using an Existing World
Keep the original world backup separate from the test copy. First check whether the intended Forge profile starts and lists the installed mod. Then create a temporary world and check whether it loads, saves, and opens again. These checks help you isolate installation problems without assuming that every creature, item, or interaction shown in third-party coverage exists in the selected Java release.
The creator describes the dinosaurs as offering features and player interactions beyond combat. Consult the selected release's own documentation for specific mechanics.
Troubleshoot One Change at a Time
| Symptom | First Check | Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| Mod is absent | Active profile and mods folder | Confirm that you launched the profile where the file was installed. |
| Game fails to start | Minecraft, Forge, and selected file versions | Read the error and the file's listed dependencies before changing anything. |
| Problem appears with other mods | The same setup in a separate test profile | Test the target mod with its required dependencies, then add other mods gradually. |
| Multiplayer versions differ | Client and server mod configuration | Compare the installed files and the release's server requirements. |
Keep the exact error message and note the selected file version when asking for help. Restore a backup if a test damages a world; do not keep testing on the only copy of a save.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the verified Java project?
The CurseForge project maintained by The_Raxiores is the primary reference used here. Check its current file details before installation.
Can this Java file be imported into Bedrock?
No. This guide covers a Java Forge mod. It does not confirm an official Bedrock version or transfer Java requirements to a separate add-on.
What should I do after a failed launch?
Check the chosen profile, Minecraft version, Forge installation, file location, and listed dependencies. Reproduce the issue in a temporary profile before changing an established world.
