The Plague

The Plague is a dangerous status effect that prevents natural health regeneration. It is spread by Plague Rats and the Black Death. It can be cured by a Plague Doctor (a villager profession) or by using Purifying Liquid.

Rat Breeding

To breed rats, place a male and female in a Rat Cage with a Rat Breeding Lantern. Pups have a chance to spawn with unique color mutations, such as Albino, Cream, or Hooded patterns.
