[REQUIRES EMF/ETF OR OPTIFINE]
Silver Rat Pack is a resource pack that changes the model and texture of the silverfish to that of a silver rat. Unfortunately there aren't different fur colors so it's just silver rats only, and this resource pack doesn't do anything other than change the look of the entity--so the spawn egg appearance/name, sounds, and movements of the silverfish are all the same.
And although the resource pack does alter the actual model of the silverfish, I tried my best to keep the rats around the same size as the original mob so that the hitbox matches closely.
This resource pack was made because I personally have a fear of insects/arachnids, and I doubt I'm the only one that gets unnerved by those tiny terrors. Plus, rats are cute!
- (P.S. I actually made an error on the changelog tab. This resource pack does Optifine assuming you aren't using EMF+ETF. However it's not recommended to use Optifine alongside EMF+ETF!)
