About this Mod
[Discontinued]
Also on CurseForge
This mod has rats, cheese, and more.
This mod will bring new foods and new ways to farm with fertilizer crafted with bone meal and rat droppings from attacking fellow rats.
You can tame them and put them in your army of dogs, BUT be careful rats can open and close doors so they can easily escape. The rats cannot sit because they are to small.
The new dimension added to this mod is the CHEESE DIMENSION, this dimension is still a work in progress and needs some tweaks but the basics are done. EVERYTHING IS CHEESE, the water is molten cheese, the ground is cheese, the good thing about this dimension is the only thing that spawns is rats. If you want to make such portal make a regular nether portal with the obsidian replaced with cheese blocks which can be crafted by putting 9 cheese in a crafting table. In order to light it you need a cheese ball.
This whole description will go one forever due to me updating and adding stuff to the mod.
This mod is supposed to bring new mobs, blocks and items in your world.
There are new structures for the player to discover the secrets of the rat people.
