Y’all listen the fuck up: I found a way to make bats useful in minecraft
You know potions, right? Well, what if a drop from the bats was to be used as a potion item? My proposal is that there is a chance for a bat to drop a “bat wing” when killed.
What potion would this bat wing be used for? Sound blocking. Hear me out: Bats use echolocation to communicate because they’re blind as hell, right? If we create a potion that will mute your sounds and steps, you would be able to traverse through the deep depths without too much trouble (and you can dodge a friend’s prank)
But this idea seems a bit too OP, right? So here are some of the things I’ve thought about to lessen the effect: The drop of a bat wing is rare, like the drop rate of blaze rods or enderpearls (rarer, even.)
“but why don’t you add downsides to the potion?” You see, the only thing I thought of that could make this potion have a downside is the fact that you can still be heard mining blocks and etc. This idea would already be debunked because it would basically be like shifting (crouching) except you can move faster.
Honestly, i think this would be a really good potion to have for sneaking around combined with invisibility and shit
This really just came to my mind while I was thinking about how to make bats useful, and everything clicked in place with enough time. It’s probably OP and dumb but it’s a stretch lmao
