Me and my friends got this mod a few months ago on a whim, and honestly it was the best mod we've ever put into a survival game. We paired it with a mod that would make random mobs be elite and have a bunch of different effects (invisibility, speed, strikes lightning at whatever it attacks, sets things on fire, etc etc and in combination with each other) and apparently it made the RATS SPAWN WITH THESE EFFECTS and it was total chaos. Rats that smite zombies, rats that get hit by another rat's AOE attacks and the decent into absolute rat war, getting caught in the crossfire of the rat war and now you're just meat in the blender. It was so glorious.

I liked that, it could be a minecraft update if the "magic staffs" were removed, the damage of rats was reduced and what if only specific types of rats attacked cats, what caught my attention the most was their ability to pick up items, what makes them basically a fox but better, essentially they play the role of the mob that won this year's vote (Allay) but unlike Allay the rats make much more sense in the game. Another point is that since rats are likely to have low hp it makes sense for them to be more resistant to falling damage it would be interesting also if they had hostile behavior towards silverfish, plus it would be interesting if rats were not affected by the webs of spiders since they are very small. It would also be interesting if, like cave spiders, rats had a small chance of poisoning you or giving you the weak effect when attacking you since in the wild they are exposed to various diseases, to represent this they could drop rotten potatoes or other rotten foods, which would make them useful not only as pets but also as a source of potion ingredients as rats could also drop ingredients like sugar, eggs, flour, etc. Another point is that there could be a small chance of spawning a rat by breaking a bookcase as in the middle ages rats were well known for chewing books. Also with the addition of rats they could add something like alcohol derived from the fermentation of food, this alcohol could be ingested to treat effects such as weakness and would have a small chance of giving you the nausea effect, this alcohol could also be turned into a potion throwable that makes enemies nauseous, and if you add paper and gunpowder to the flask of resectable alcohol you could craft a throwable incendiary potion, essentially a molotov. In fact, speaking of adding, this would be a great opportunity to add foods like cheese and other derivatives. besides that it might be possible to craft armor for the rats, the leather armor would be made of Rabbit leather (finally giving this item a purpose) and the metal and gold armor could be made of nuggets. It could also add an achievement called "King of the Rats" when the player has tame more than 10 rats. In fact, as not everything about rats is possible, they could act as pests, poisoning animals to models and destroying crops, this justifies adding a hunting villager who would sell mousetraps, an item that would work by putting an item on it and the mob that was attracted by catching the item you would be trapped in the trap, the trap would do enough damage to kill rats but could end up catching other mobs like cows if you put wheat in the trap. this would be useful to catch rare mobs.
