About this Mod
Overview
La Cucaracha is a mod based on one thing: Roaches! Roaches are nastly little bugs found in various dank structures, infesting undead, and sometimes just around, waiting to dash out to feast on dropped scraps. Roaches flee from light and things bigger than them, but when enough are close together, they will swarm and you’d best watch out.
However, if you are fast enough, you can catch a Roach in a Bottle, which can then be placed to create a non-despawning one, or brewed with Gunpowder in a Brewing Stand to make a Splash Bottle of Roach, a disgusting weapon! Spice up PvP like never before!
Cats, Frogs, and Villagers also have special interactions with Roaches, and Roaches also love to groove down to Jukeboxes!
Where can I find Roaches?
Roaches can be found in Forest Mansions, Ancient Cities, and Abandoned Villages, but may also spawn from slain undead and sometimes will appear anytime there’s dropped food.
