How to Cure Plague in the Rats MC Mod

The plague effect in the Rats mod can be dangerous if left untreated, but fortunately there are several effective methods to cure it. This guide will walk you through all the available options, from trading with plague doctors to crafting specialized items. Whether you’re looking for the easiest solution or want to know every cure available, we’ve got you covered.

Finding and Trading with Plague Doctors

The easiest way to cure plague is to find a plague doctor. These specialized villagers naturally spawn in villages and can provide immediate assistance.

If you can’t find a plague doctor naturally, you can create one yourself. You’ll need:

A plague doctorate (crafted with paper)

Plague essence (a rare drop from plague rats)

Using these items on a regular villager will transform them into a plague doctor who trades plague-related items.

Plague Doctor Trade Options

Plague doctors offer multiple cure options with varying effectiveness levels:

Sweet Smelling Herbs – Costs emeralds and poppies. Has a 10% chance to remove the plague effect.

Plague Doctor Masks – Reduces the chance of contracting plague from rats on contact.

Plague Leeches – Has a 50% chance to remove the plague effect.

Plague Stew – Guarantees plague removal.

Purifying Liquid – Cures mobs with plague and converts zombie villagers back to normal villagers.

Old Treacle – Has a 25% chance to remove the plague effect.

Crafting Purifying Liquid

You don’t always need to trade for purifying liquid—you can craft it yourself. The recipe requires:

Golden rat skull (a rat skull with gold around it, drops from rats)

Plague essence (rare drop from plague rats)

Passive Cure from Nearby Plague Doctors

If you have plague doctors nearby and don’t currently have plague, there’s a chance they’ll help you preemptively. Plague doctors can throw splash potions of purifying liquid at you, similar to how players throw splash potions. Sometimes they’ll be kind enough to cure you without any trades required.

Summary

Curing plague in the Rats mod is straightforward once you know your options. The easiest method is to find or create a plague doctor and trade with them—plague stew guarantees a cure, while other options like plague leeches (50% chance) and sweet smelling herbs (10% chance) provide more affordable alternatives. For complete control, gather the materials to craft purifying liquid yourself. With any of these methods, you’ll be plague-free in no time.
