Bat Mob Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains all about bats with screenshots and step-by-step instructions. Let’s learn about bats in Minecraft.
Background
The following is a picture of what a bat looks like in Minecraft:
| Hostility Level | Passive Mob |
|---|---|
| Health Points | 6 health points Â x 3 |
| Where to Find | Spawns the Overworld within caves or caverns |
| Weapon | None |
| Attack Method | Will never attack you |
| Drops | None |
| Experience Points | 0 experience points |
Hostility Level (Passive)
A bat is a passive mob. The term mob is short for mobile and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, creepers, and bats. Because a bat is a passive mob, it will never attack you in the game (Creative or Survival mode).
Health Points
In Minecraft, a bat has 3 hearts  for health. This gives a bat 6 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points). To kill a bat, you need to inflict 6 points of damage to the bat.
Where to Find Bats
In Minecraft, you can find bats in most Overworld biomes within dark caves and caverns. Bats spawn in the dark or at night in light levels of 7 or lower. If you are having trouble finding a bat, you can summon a bat using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
Weapon
A bat does not carry a weapon.
Attack Method
You are safe to walk near a bat and it will not attack or cause you any damage. And if you attack a bat, it will just try to fly away. It will not attack you back.
Drops
When you kill a bat in Minecraft, it will not drop anything. It is one of the few mobs that when killed, does not drop any items.
Experience Points
As you play the game, you will gain experience. The most common way to gain experience is by killing mobs. When a mob is killed you will see tiny green and yellow balls appear and move towards you.
These orbs represent experience points. Unfortunately, when you kill a bat, you will not gain any experience points.
