Small bats
With Small bats, players who run the Vampirism mod get bats that hang from ceilings and let vampires rest through the day.
What it does
Small bats is an addon for the Vampirism mod, and it needs Vampirism to load. It adds enhancements for the vampire experience, including a bat form that hangs off ceilings, and vampires can sleep through the day while hanging upside down. A mist form lets a vampire squeeze through narrow gaps, and high-leveled vampires can again drink pure blood.
The addon is aimed at extending the features that vampires already have in Vampirism, and its early content is still unfinished and may contain bugs. The Forge files target 1.20.1 only, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The author has published only Forge builds, and the newest is 0.0.6-ALPHA from 2025-02-05, on the alpha channel.
The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, which makes it not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Roleplay vampires
Players who play as vampires in Vampirism can use the bat and mist forms for hiding, resting and moving through cramped areas.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who already run Vampirism and want more vampire abilities. Because the early content is unfinished, the addon may suit testing worlds more than long-term survival saves.
