Description

Better With Rats (BWR) is a light modpack mainly focused around adventures with 5 new dimensions (not counting nomadic tents), and of course Rats!. 

This modpack will get updates to add more to explore, but this modpack is meant to remain simple and vanilla at the surface. 

 

Rats is a mod that adds little rodent friends who will start off wild and skittish, spawning at night and stealing stuff from your chests. When tamed by dropping cheese they can be set to do tasks such as, gather items, harvest, kill animals/mobs, and simply follow you around and defend you. Rats aren't very tough to begin with but can be upgraded into literal battle gods. There is even a dimension included in this mod. 

 

See more about this mod on the wiki

 

Stuff you can do

-Upgrade your rats to fight,do tasks for you, and even double ores. 

-Get kidnapped by a rifter and taken into The Midnight

-Make your own colony with Minecolonies

-Created diamond giving plants with Mystical Agriculture

-Explore the various dimensions and fight bosses

-Get lost in the new caves for an hour and start to consider whether the integrity of keeping it cheats free was worth the pain

-Not lose your stuff when a creeper falls on you, thanks quark

-Get past day 25 and still not have a house because you just keep making your farm larger, but can you even be mad?

 

This mod will be updated as new updates for the mods come out, and if in modpack edit mode do not update HWYLA, the current update is the forge version and the next update is fabric.

Now has a server pack but it's my first ever one so I am sorry if it has any errors, currently not tested
