VO: Better Bats

Better Bats overhauls the vanilla Bat into a dynamic, ecosystem-driven entity with swarming behaviors, guano fertilization, and pest control mechanics. Built for Minecraft 26.1+ with DasikLibrary integration.

🦇 Better Bats

"More than just an ambient entity."

Requires Fabric API Java License Minecraft 26.1+

Better Bats overhauls the vanilla Bat into a dynamic, ecosystem-driven entity. It turns the useless ambient creature into a swarming, light-sensitive, and symbiotic neighbor.


✨ Features

🌪️ Hive Mind (Social Swarms)

Bats no longer fly in chaotic, individual patterns. They organize into cohesive swarms using the DasikLibrary Hive Mind system. Witness groups of bats moving as one through the cave systems.

💩 Guano Fertility (Natural Growth)

Forget magical bonemeal. Bats roosting upside down slowly accumulate guano. Every 10 minutes, they fertilize the soil beneath them. If you have a roost above your farm, expect faster crop growth!

💡 Phototaxis (Light Sensitivity)

Just like moths, bats are attracted to bright artificial light. They will break from their swarms to circle lanterns and torches, hunting for insects drawn to the glow.

🛡️ Pest Control (Symbiotic Defense)

Bats are your allies against the small things that crawl. They will aggressively dive-bomb and one-shot Silverfish and Endermites in their territory.

📢 Acoustic Panic

Caves are quiet for a reason. Loud noises like explosions or nearby mining will wake resting swarms instantly, sending them into a frantic scatter.

    The goal is not just "faster farming" or "easier automation," but **pastoral immersion**. Returning from a week-long expedition to find your fields overgrown and ready for harvest creates a sense of time passing and a world that lives on its own.
