You know how it is. You’ll be on a mining expedition, deep in the caves of the Overworld, and suddenly you break through into a lava cave. Veins of redstone and diamonds glitter in the walls. And in the midst of it all? A bat – squeaking like crazy, taking a one-way plunge into the lava. Let’s honor the poor thing’s sacrifice by making it our Mob of the Month.
Bats were added to Minecraft in the Pretty Scary Update in October 2012, alongside a few other spoOOOooky features, like witches, withers, pumpkin pies, and – spookiest of all – anvils. When they were originally introduced they were a little annoying because they could activate pressure plates and trample crops, but that got a quick fix from our developer team. Thanks devs!
