FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 1.21.4

What it does

Rats spawn naturally in dark areas such as caves, and they walk around while staying close to cheese blocks. Cheese can be used to breed them, so players who want a rat population can keep one near a cheese supply. The mod also includes a rat texture that gives the mobs their look.

Rat Mod runs on Fabric for game versions 1.21 – 1.21.4, with files for 1.21, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it is a client and server environment. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the project publishes a source code repository and an issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Naturally spawning rats

    Rats appear in dark areas like caves, so exploring underground brings them into the world without commands.

  2. Cheese blocks

    Cheese blocks give the rats a reason to stay nearby and provide the food used to breed them.

  3. Breeding with cheese

    Two rats can be bred using cheese, letting players grow a group over time.

  4. Rat texture

    A dedicated texture gives the rat mobs their appearance in the game.
