around the top should be a button that says "CHANGE SPECIES" in the char creation screen
there you press that and you choose a dino

I do agree. There should be SOMETHING that stops you from just spawning in as a giga or a rex (other than disabling them) and wiping someones base. It'd give a sense of completion playing as a high tier dino, such as a rex. Maybe not this specifically, but I do agree on some sort of an unlock system.

thank you @AsdDoesGames thats what i was trying to say but forgot about this also working on a other game in VR with unity and mod for minecraft im so busy i forget to look here

Or maybe have this as something that is optional rather than mandatory.

Some people don't want to kill something just to be able to play as the creature. If that is the case, some creatures will not ever be able to be used as not all maps have said creature.

For example: I like playing as a Rock Drake, but the server I play on is Ragnarok, I'll never be able to be a Rock Drake unless a mod spawned one in.

I agree to the suggestion but only if it is optional for server admins to put into their server.
