FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 โ€“ 1.21.8

What it does

Bats that try to irritate players are removed by a bat that instantly kills bats, and the effect is applied within a few game ticks. The author notes that the bat works in chunks that are loaded, and that it needs no redstone to function. A placeable block and item join the mod, so the removal can be set up by placing the block where it is needed. Both the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server. Files exist for 1.20.1, 1.20.6, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5 and 1.21.8, with the newest Fabric and NeoForge builds targeting 1.21.8 and the Forge build targeting 1.20.1. The author notes an issue tracker is linked for reports.

Key features

  1. Instant bat removal

    A bat that kills bats on contact removes the mobs once it is placed near them.

  2. Works without redstone

    The bat block runs without a redstone circuit, so it can be placed and left to work.

  3. Chunk-loaded operation

    The bat works in loaded chunks, so removal continues while the area is loaded.
