Hamsters Plus mod adds seven varieties of hamsters and hamster wheels. The adorable creatures spawn in Plains, Sunflower Field, and Meadow biomes. Hamsters can be lured and tamed using any seeds in Minecraft. Right-clicking on a tamed hamster can also be directly picked as an item.

The crafting recipe of a hamster wheel will unlock once players have copper ingots. Players can then craft it using three copper ingots and three stone slabs.

Hamsters will have random movement and behavior in Minecraft. When tamed, they will usually follow the player, but can also wander around when the player is static. Furthermore, if one hamster detects an empty wheel, they will instantly fit inside them and start running, causing the wheel to roll. Hamsters can also be found sleeping if they are idle for too long.

If players are bored with vanilla pets and want a new, adorable friend in Minecraft, they can look towards this simple mod.
