Ratmetal

by MFNminerdz

Ratmetal adds a rat-based metal for NeoForge, with tools, armor and a rat mob that carries a plague effect.

NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1

What it does

Rat dust can be smelted in a furnace into a Ratmetal ingot, and the ingots are used to craft tools and armor. Ratmetal gear is slower to work with than vanilla metals, so tools and armor take longer to make. The mod also adds a Rat mob with a silverfish-like behavior that spawns in the world, and rats can appear in villages.

Some rats have a small chance to spawn with a plague that infects nearby mobs and applies a visual overlay, with an occasional damage tick. Potions can be brewed from a Ratmetal nugget, and brewing with the plague-related ingredients produces a weakness potion, along with a number of other potion variants. Ratmetal runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Ratmetal ingots and gear

    Rat dust smelted in a furnace produces Ratmetal ingots, which craft into tools and armor with slower handling.

  2. Rat mob

    A new rat mob behaves like a silverfish and spawns in the world, with villages able to hold rats too.

  3. Plague effect

    Some rats spawn with a plague that infects nearby mobs, applies an overlay and deals a small chance of damage per tick.

  4. Plague potions

    Brewing with a Ratmetal nugget and plague ingredients yields a weakness potion and other potion variants.
