Garbage Pile[]
Garbage is a block that is obtained in 5.1.0 and beyond by right clicking on a Trash Can with any blocks, or using automation such as Rats, Hoppers, or other mods to input blocks into the Trash Can.
In previous versions it can be directly crafted, or found in villages. When in darkness, Garbage will spawn Rats on top of it. This makes it extremely useful when trying to farm rats for either their ordinary drops, or for a Chunky Cheese Token or Plague Tome. Garbage can be used to craft multiple variants that spawn different types of mobs.
Diseased Garbage[]
Diseased garbage can be crafted with 8 Garbage and 1 Plague Essence. It works like normal Garbage, except that it spawns Plague Rats instead of normal rats.
Purified Garbage[]
Purified Garbage can be crafted with 8 Garbage and 1 Purifying Liquid. It works like normal Garbage, except that it will never spawn Plague Rats.
Compressed Garbage[]
Compressed Garbage can be crafted with 9 Garbage. It spawns double the amount of rats than normal garbage.
Pied Garbage[]
Pied Garbage can be crafted with 1 Compressed Garbage and 8 Pied Wool. Instead of spawning rats, it spawns Pied Pipers.
