The Syringe is a reusable tool essential for genetic engineering and DNA extraction.
Used to extract genes from creatures, clean eggs, and fertilize seeds, the Syringe is a fundamental item for creating prehistoric life in Jurassic Saga.

Functionality

• Type: Reusable tool
• Durability: Infinite (never breaks or runs out)
• States: Clean or Dirty
• Primary Uses:
  • Extract genes from living creatures
  • Clean eggs for fertilization
  • Fertilize eggs with DNA
  • Fertilize seeds with Plant DNA

Usage

Extracting Genes

Right-click on any vanilla mob with a Clean Syringe to extract their associated gene:

1. Approach a mob that has an extractable gene
2. Right-click the mob with a Clean Syringe
3. The syringe extracts the gene and becomes dirty
4. The extracted gene is added to your inventory

For a complete list of genes and their sources, see the Genes page.

Cleaning Eggs

Used in crafting to prepare eggs for fertilization:

• Input: Creature Egg + Clean Syringe
• Output: Unfertilized Egg (egg becomes ready for DNA fertilization)
• Result: Syringe becomes dirty after crafting

Fertilizing Eggs

Used in crafting to create fertilized eggs:

• Input: DNA + Unfertilized Egg + Clean Syringe
• Output: Fertilized Egg (ready for incubation)
• Result: Syringe becomes dirty after crafting

For detailed instructions, see Creating an Egg.

Fertilizing Seeds

Used in crafting to create fertilized plant seeds:

• Input: Plant DNA + Unfertilized Seeds + Clean Syringe
• Output: Fertilized Plant Seeds (ready for cultivation)
• Result: Syringe becomes dirty after crafting

For detailed instructions, see Creating a Plant.

Cleaning

After use in crafting or gene extraction, the Syringe becomes dirty and must be cleaned before reuse:

1. Hold the Dirty Syringe in your hand
2. Throw on any water source (ocean, river, lake, or water block, cauldrons, half slabs with waterlogged)
3. The syringe instantly becomes clean and ready for reuse

Important: Dirty syringes cannot be used for any crafting recipes or gene extraction until cleaned.

Tips

• Keep multiple syringes on hand for efficient genetic work
• Clean syringes immediately after use to avoid confusion
• Syringes never break or run out, making them a permanent investment
• Any water source works for cleaning — rivers, oceans, or even a single water block
• Plan your gene extraction trips by identifying which mobs you need before heading out

Trivia

• The Syringe is inspired by the genetic extraction equipment seen throughout the Jurassic Park franchise
• Unlike most tools in Minecraft, syringes never degrade or break, reflecting their role as precision laboratory equipment
• The cleaning mechanic adds a layer of realism to the genetic engineering process
• Syringes are one of the most versatile tools in Jurassic Saga, used in nearly every stage of creature creation
