mice
by hidingfox
mice adds four kinds of rodent mobs to the game, among them a regular mouse, a black rat, a woolly mouse and jerboas.
What it does
Four rodent types spawn in the world. The regular mouse and the black rat are the common ones, the woolly mouse can be sheared for wool, and jerboas appear in desert and badlands biomes. Snowy biomes are where the mod's rodents fit their real-world habitat, so the population there follows that idea.
Rats can be tamed, and a tamed rat helps its owner in fights against other rats. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.4 and 1.21.5, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.5 as the latest file.

What the author says
Rats can be tamed but will not help owner in fights due to being rats. Jerboas spawn in desert and badland biomes. They can hear your thoughts.
