About this project
What does Nocturnal Bats add?
Nocturnal Bats
Changes bat spawn rules, enabling them to spawn on the surface at night:
- Bats can now spawn at any altitude, including above ground.
- Sky-light no longer prevents bat spawn.
- Sky-light is less effective at preventing bat spawn than block-light.
- Added all common surface blocks to
#bats_spawnable_on.
Note
Although v1.1 is backward compatible with older version, it requires Java 21. Use v1.0 for compatibility with Java 17. Beside their compatibility range, they are functionally identical.
