Ratchel - Caverns & Chasms

by Calyren

Ratchel, from the Caverns & Chasms addon line, is a NeoForge storage item that holds captured Rats for later release.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21.1

What it does

Ratchel lets a player collect Rats into a single portable container. Sneaking while right-clicking with a Ratchel makes nearby Rats climb into it, and a right-click releases the stored Rats again. Rats kept inside keep their type names, so a stored group stays identifiable when it is released.

When a Ratchel is destroyed, the Rats it holds spill out of it. The item is craftable early in the game, which makes it available before most late-game storage options. Ratchel is listed as a Storage mod that also belongs to the Mobs and Utility categories.

The mod requires Blueprint and Caverns & Chasms, and it works alongside the Caverns & Chasms addon, where Rat Satchels also store Rats. Ratchel runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, under the MIT License, with a public issue tracker and version 1.0 as the latest file from 2026-07-18.

Questions

Does Ratchel need Blueprint to run?

Yes. Blueprint is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Ratchel on NeoForge 1.21.1.

Does Ratchel need to be installed on both sides?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Does the Caverns & Chasms addon change how Ratchel works?

The addon works with Ratchel and adds Rat Satchels that store Rats as well, so players using both can keep Rats in either item.
