Shamrock Shores - St. Patrick’s Day Event
This mod is the first of its kind—a true passion project. I’ve always loved St. Patrick’s Day (not just because my name is Patrick or because of my Irish heritage), and I realized Ark was missing a proper event to celebrate it. So, I decided to create one. What started as a simple Lucky Dodo quickly grew into something much bigger than I ever imagined!Features
This mod introduces a variety of festive additions to Ark, including:- Three new dino variants (one of which is tamable)
- A new seed and crop, along with a specialized planter to grow them in
- A new Beer Barrel variant that brews Green Beer, complete with unique buffs
- A Magical Loot Well that rewards players with valuable treasures if given the right item
- A new dino candy that prevents your creatures from being "pinched" for not wearing green
- Themed cosmetics like Shamrock Shades and a Leprechaun’s Top Hat
- And, of course, a Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow! 🌈
Creatures
Lucky Dodo
A festive green dodo donning a top hat. While untamable, it lays special Golden Eggs. Consuming one grants a:- 50% XP boost for 15 minutes
- Temporarily enhances loot crate quality
Leprechaun Bigfoot
A tiny, green version of the regular Bigfoot—just 30% of the original size.- Tamable & ridable (yes, you shrink to fit!)
- Requires Shamrock Kibble to tame.
- will only eat Verdberries, Shamrocks, Green Beer, or Veggie Cakes
- Every time it poops, there’s a 20% chance it will drop Shamrock Dino Candy, which colors any dino green.
- Even if you don’t get candy, the sparkly green poop acts as powerful fertilizer for your Shamrock Garden.
Finnegan (Jerboa Variant)
A mischievous green Jerboa that cannot be tamed.- It loves to steal Leprechaun Gold and can be tracked by following a trail of gold dust.
- If you manage to catch it, you can claim its Leprechaun Gold Coins—essential for crafting event items.

Shamrock Shores Spawn Commands
What does Freemium mean? It means that without owning the mod, players will be able to gather the coins from the Finnegans to craft all 8 of the cosmetic skins. They will also be able to use the candies that the Leprechaun drops, and open gifts from the Loot well. Everything else requires owning the mod.
