How to Tame Rats in the Rats MC Mod

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the complete process of taming rats in the Rats Minecraft mod. Whether you’re new to the mod or looking to expand your rat collection, this step-by-step tutorial will help you successfully tame wild rats and customize them with commands and upgrades.

Finding Wild Rats

The first step is locating a wild rat in your world. You’ll find them wandering around naturally. Once you’ve spotted one, you’re ready to begin the taming process.

Gathering Cheese

To tame rats, you’ll need cheese. Cheese is crafted from blocks of cheese, which you can create through the cheese-making process in the mod. Here’s how to make it:

Creating Cheese Blocks

Start by obtaining a cauldron and filling it with milk. Once filled, simply wait for the milk to process into a block of cheese. This is the essential ingredient you’ll need for taming.

The Taming Process

Taming a rat requires patience and multiple feedings. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Chase and Feed

Wild rats will run away from you when you approach. Chase after the rat and throw cheese down in front of it. The rat may take a moment to notice the cheese, so try to guide it toward the food you’ve dropped.

Step 2: Repeat the Feeding

Each time you feed the rat cheese, it will become slightly less fearful of you. The distance at which it runs away will gradually decrease. Continue throwing cheese and feeding the rat multiple times.

Step 3: Patience During the Process

The rat will eat the cheese you drop and may scurry around the area searching for more food. While it’s eating, it won’t run as far away from you, giving you better opportunities to feed it again. It can take up to ten feedings total to fully tame a rat, so be prepared to repeat this process multiple times.

Confirming Successful Taming

Once the rat has been fed enough times and is fully tamed, you’ll see love hearts appear above it. The rat’s information will now display “Owner” with your name, indicating that you now own the rat.

Managing Your Tamed Rat

Rat Commands

Once a rat is tamed, you can select different commands to control its behavior. Available commands include:

Wander: The rat will roam freely in the area

Stay Here: The rat will remain in one location

Follow Me: The rat will follow you wherever you go

To activate a command, simply click on the option you want.

Customizing Your Rat

You can further customize your tamed rat by adding upgrades and accessories:

Left Slot: Rat upgrades

Additional Slots: Helmets, hats, banners, cheese, and other food items

These customization options allow you to personalize your rat’s appearance and functionality.

Summary

Taming rats in the Rats MC mod is a straightforward process that requires cheese, patience, and multiple feedings. After up to ten cheese feedings, your wild rat will become a loyal companion that you can command, customize with upgrades, and accessorize to your liking. Whether you’re building a rat army for your base or just want a furry friend, this mod offers a fun and interactive experience.
