No More Bats Plus
by sieyva
No More Bats Plus is a Forge server-side mod for 1.20.1 that stops bats from spawning in the world.
What it does
Once the mod is on a server, bats no longer spawn naturally, which removes the bat spawning that vanilla Minecraft performs. Bats that were already spawned before the mod was installed can be cleared out with the mod's kill command, and after that no new bats appear. The author notes that players on a server do not need the mod, so a modpack can include it without requiring the rest of the players to install anything. Only the 0.1.0 Forge build for 1.20.1 exists, released under the MIT License and not open source.
Key features
Disables bat spawning
Natural bat spawning is switched off, so no new bats appear on the server after the mod loads.
Kill command for existing bats
A command clears bats that were spawned earlier, so older bats in the world are removed too.
Server-only installation
Only the server runs the mod, and players join without installing it, even inside a modpack.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
No Bats is a Fabric alternative that works on 1.20 – 1.21.5 and is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License. Bats Galore runs on both client and server for 1.20.1 and is not open source, so every player must install it.

What the author says
It's completely server side so players playing on a server dont require this mod in their pack aslong as its installed on the server. This mod does not kill any bats that have spawned earlier, it just stops new bats from spawning.
