What it does

Nice Bat Tweaks changes bats so they are more interesting to encounter. The changes are set in config files, and the server is where they take effect, so a server that runs the mod applies them for every player. Players who join such a server do not need the mod installed. Builds cover 1.21.3 – 1.21.4 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also available.

Key features

  1. Livelier bats

    Bats behave differently from their vanilla form, making them a more notable part of the world.

  2. Adjustable behavior

    Each tweak can be switched or tuned, so server owners decide which changes apply to their world.

  3. Paper-based server support

    Forks such as Purpur need the allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards option enabled in the paper configuration to work correctly.

What the author says

But if you are playing on a PaperMC Server (or a PaperMC Fork like Purpur) make sure to set allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards in your paper config files to true in order for everything to work properly.
