    What!? Somebody did the no bats datapack?
    I don't see a problem doing another one.

    Unlike the other datapacks, this datapack actually make bats stop spawning.

    Currently pack on planetminecraft working on 1.21.2-1.21.4. You can download it on Modrinth to support me, or if you need a version compatible with a lower version of vanilla Minecraft. This site is for highest version only.

    Planetminecraft only allow 1 file. So you gotta hop in Modrinth to choose other version.

    There are all the version from 1.16.2 to 1.21.4, mate. Also, this is datapack, not mod, it can be use with any mod and plugin as long as the mod did not conflict with this pack by touching the worldgen. If your mods conflict with the pack, you can send me which one you use so I'll take a look and see what i can do

    yes i understand but i just can't choose a version on that web-site. https://ibb.co/tTr8TBYD (screenshot)
    when downloading and installing, i've got a message like "uncompatible". i've put the zip file into minecraft\resourcepacks.

    here's the screenshot: ibb.co/CsphzDyk

    i think mods are okay, because i only use some map generation tweakers, but thanks for your help anyway.

    do you think /gamerule doMobsSpawning false may work to disable bats (beside other mobs)?

    that was not my pack, that was a mod. This is my pack: No Bat Spawning - Minecraft Data Pack

    There are variants mod/plugin/datapack that does the same results but different methods, that's why there're so many. I can see your confusion.
    Tho I must say you're on 1.21 and using map generation tweakers, so there might be some conflict with my pack there. If you see those conflict and need some help adjustment the pack, feel free to ask. And remember to let me see which mod you use if you do so, that's would be so much helpful.

    And /gamerule doMobsSpawning false apply for all mobs, not just bats. Sorry to disappoint you but you have to rely on mods if you wan to do the gamerule thing.

    Also, don't put the datapacks in resourcepacks folder, they're pack but do different things so have to be in different location.
    • If you want to put you datapack upon world generation. Then when you create new world, look at the top and there are Game/World/More. Click on More, then click on Data Packs. All you have to do now is just throw your datapack in and select it just like you always do with your resourcepack.
    • If you want to put your datapack in your existing world. Then choose the world you want to put it in and click Edit, click Open World Folder, now look at your world folder and find datapacks folder, and throw your datapack in. Now just open that world and you're good to go.

    Here is a tip: You can remove the normal Planet Minecraft and have the only download be the Modrinth one :)

    Why is this not at the top of search results for getting rid of naturally spawning bats!?



    I have been searching for something like this for a long time.



    Btw, for those wondering why this only works on version is 1.20 and 1.20.1. The official mc versions are missing a "ore_diamond_medium.json" file

    How do I know? Cause i have been banging my head, trying to make the very same data pack that JackFire03 made 4 months ago!



    Also this pack works with the Create forge/fabric mod. So i don't see any reason for this not to work with other mods that add ores and other blocks to the vanilla biomes. Just make sure you have made a backup before hand in case it dosen't.



    Sincerely

    Aww, thanks. And well, it's a datapack, it works with forge/fabric/quilt or mostly any pack. I gotta say it hard to compare with some pack that has world generation changed tho, all I did is just remove them from spawning pool which in the biomes files in the world generation folder. Even though I CAN make some change for those packs, I must modify the pack themselves and they're too many, that's why I said you can asking me to make another version in the comment. Or maybe you can just do it yourself if you want to, your choice!

    I didn't check if it working on 1.20.3 and 1.20.4 or not, because I'm very busy lately, but I looked up some changing of official versions and I can see that they could work well on 1.20.3 and 1.20.4. Checking them might take a few days. Could be next week or next few days defending on how busy I am, but I'll give the update ASAP.
