Glow Bats Mod adds glow bats to the game. In caves, or when it is dark, you will encounter bats flying everywhere; sometimes, when adventuring in the cave, you may be startled because bats will suddenly appear in front of you. If you want to see glowing bats in your world, install Glow Bats Mod. The glow bat will be slightly purple and glow in the dark; when you find and destroy it, the glowing bat will drop its wings. You can eat glow bat wings, and when you do, you will gain night vision effects for a short time. Or you can also use bat wings to make glow paste and glow paste as torches or lanterns. The typical color of the torches and lanterns will be the purple of the glowing bat, so you can use them to decorate your home with more color.
