La Cucaracha
by cybercat5555
La Cucaracha, a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.19.2, adds roaches that swarm dropped food and gather in structures and around undead mobs.
What it does
Roaches appear in the wild in forests, mansions, ancient cities and abandoned villages, and they sometimes spawn after a slain undead mob. They scatter when a light source is near and gather in larger groups when placed close together. Players who wait out of sight can see them dash in to feast on dropped scraps, and roaches also appear anytime food is dropped.
The mod adds an item route for catching a roach: a fast enough player can trap one in a Roach Bottle, which keeps the creature from despawning. Brewing a Gunpowder into the bottle on a Brewing Stand produces a Splash Bottle that works as a disgusting throwable weapon, which adds a PvP option. Cats, frogs and villagers react to roaches in special ways, and roaches are drawn to music played on a jukebox.
La Cucaracha requires Fabric API. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds exist for Fabric and Quilt for 1.19.2 only. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, and the project publishes a source repository and an issue tracker.

What the author says
La Cucaracha is a mod based on one thing: Roaches! Roaches are nastly little bugs found in various dank structures, infesting undead, and sometimes just around, waiting to dash out to feast on dropped scraps. Roaches flee from light and things bigger than them, but when enough are close together, they will swarm and…
