Adding small rodents (Gerbils, field mice, Rats, guinea pigs and hamsters)

under review

Drops:Rodent Skin:Can be crafted into a hat that would give a strength boost in cold areas because it's keeping you head warm.

Seeds: They're cheek pouches should puff out when they have food in their mouths, if they are killed while eating they would drop them.

Spawn Areas:Gerbils and hamsters could live at the area between desserts and plains/forests/acacia bioms, well Guinea pigs could live in mountains and plains bioms. Mice & rats would spawn by crops.

Appearance Details:Babies would be smaller and wouldn't have fur, with gerbils they would have three stages and the second would have fur with a puff on the end of their tail.

Behavior:The rodents would be a little slower than a running cat, they would chew on sticks, plants and crops, which, when being chewed, could look the same as when a player is breaking them. They could carry their babies around and live in holes. Litter:3-10.

villager farmers would attack rodents while the children could lay down with their head up and look at them.

Pets:They should be tamed with 1 dandelion, apple, carrot or any kind of seed. once tamed You should be able to rotate through sit, stand, and roam. With mice if you shift-click you could to put them on your shoulder.

    My 7-year-old son, Maverick, had some ideas to expand on this. He thought hamsters could be tiny pets that live in a new Hamster Cage block. They could run on a wheel, roll into little balls, squeak, and eat sunflower seeds. They wouldn't need to fight or collect items, they'd simply be cute companions that make your home feel more alive. He even came up with the name "The Hamster Update." We thought it would be a fun addition to Minecraft for players who enjoy building and decorating.
