📖 Description
Nice Bat Tweaks gives Bats some functionality to make them more interesting. Killing Bats now has a 50% chance to give every Mob in a 24 Block radius a glowing effect to spot them more easily. It also has a 10% chance to give the player a Regeneration effect for 5 seconds.
🛠️ How to, Instructions & Commands
The datapack usually just needs to be installed. There is nothing else you have to do. It just works out of the box.
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.
