Minecraftis an incredible game in its own right, without a doubt, but over time some players may become bored with the vanilla content on offer, even after exploring the added changes in updates likethe Nether Update. This is when the Minecraft Marketplace comes in, allowing players to purchase a wide range of additional content for their games, including skins, texture packs, maps, add-ons, and even full-blown adventure maps that can have their own stories, new mechanics, and so much more.

Thenewest DLC for Minecraft is Jurassic World, an official partnership that brings over 60 dinosaurs and 21 new skins to Minecraft, as well as a host of gameplay that players can dive into headfirst. It’s available now from theMinecraft Marketplace, and even comes with its very own trailer, which you can watch below.

With Jurassic World, you can take control of your very own dinosaur theme park as the Park Manager, which means you can craft dinosaur species, build exhibits for them, train them, discover new dinosaur DNA, explore the world, and use your dedicated team of NPC’s to tackle problems in your park as they happen. It seems to be pretty impressive.
