How to Get Garbage in the Rats MC Mod

Looking to stock up on garbage for your Rats mod playthrough? This guide shows you the easiest method to obtain garbage piles, which are essential for spawning rats in Minecraft. We’ll walk you through creating a pet shop owner villager and trading for unlimited garbage supplies.

The Easiest Method: Create a Pet Shop Owner

The fastest way to get garbage in the Rats mod is to set up a villager as a pet shop owner. This profession allows the villager to trade garbage piles for emeralds—giving you a reliable, renewable source of garbage.

Step 1: Craft a Trash Can Workstation

To convert a villager into a pet shop owner, you first need to craft a trash can. This serves as the workstation block that determines the villager’s profession. You’ll need the following materials:

1 Cauldron

Iron

1 Iron Nugget

Step 2: Trap the Villager Behind the Trash Can

Once you’ve crafted your trash can, place it down and trap a villager behind it. The villager will detect the trash can as a workstation and automatically convert into a pet shop owner.

Step 3: Trade for Garbage Piles

With your pet shop owner villager in place, you can now trade emeralds for garbage piles. This is the key advantage of this setup—garbage piles are exactly what rats spawn on, making this method incredibly efficient for establishing a rat farm or stockpiling garbage resources.

Alternative: Find Garbage in Villages

Before you invest the effort into creating a pet shop owner, be aware that garbage naturally generates in villages by default. You can often find garbage piles scattered throughout village structures, so it’s worth exploring nearby villages first to see if you can gather some garbage without additional setup.

Summary

Getting garbage in the Rats mod is straightforward once you know the trick. By creating a trash can workstation and converting a villager into a pet shop owner, you gain access to an unlimited supply of garbage in exchange for emeralds. This method is far more efficient than searching villages randomly, making it the best long-term solution for any rat-focused project.
