RAT's Mischief
by Ladysnake
RAT's Mischief adds rats to Minecraft, small pettable mobs that can be found in abandoned villages and that fight back when provoked.
What it does
Rats appear in abandoned villages after a village has existed for a long time, and they spawn there and wander around. A rat's default colour is wild, and other colours are obtained by breeding. Like other pettable mobs, a rat fights back when attacked, dealing close-range damage and gaining invulnerability frames after each hit, so it becomes more dangerous over time.
Rats can be picked up and held in the hand. Dropping a rat item spawns a live rat instead, and a held rat can be placed back down or thrown at a mob, where it can strike on the attack. Plague Rats form when two rats affected by the same potion effect breed, with a chance of producing a plague offspring. Plague Rats cannot be affected by carried effects, and they transfer their effect to entities they attack.
The mod requires Geckolib, Trinkets and either Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL). Requiem is bundled inside the mod. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files exist for Fabric and Quilt for Minecraft 1.19 – 1.19.2, and the latest files are 1.4.0 for Fabric and 2.0.1 for Quilt, both for 1.19.2. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
The mod adds a new pettable mob: Rats. These new little critters can and will follow you, defend you and accomplish many tasks for you. I don't have any problem dissociating a project from the person behind it when that project is the best there is, however, Fabric's lead dev's transphobia genuinely got in the way of…
