Bats are useless, right? And they always will be, I KNOW that.
Almost none of these ideas ever actually get into the game, so it doesn't matter.
But what if we could tame them with some sort of food? Like potatoes maybe, they're totally useless.
If tamed, they would disappear and drop an item. You would pick this up, and throw it at a player. If it hits them, the bat will appear and follow the player.
AND NEVER STOPPING EVER.
They would dodge and weave, too, making them harder to kill. They would continue to make those AGONIZINGLY PIERCING HATEFUL GODAWFUL BLOODY squeaks.
They would also tame all bats within like a 32 blocks radius, causing THOSE bats to follow the victim as well, making an UNHOLY IMPENETRABLE TANGLE of SQUEALING HORRORFLAPPERS, which is NOW WHAT I SHALL REFER TO BATS AS.
This would be completely useless yet completely hilarious.
Bats are not supposed to be useful, they are aesthetic mobs.
True, but then, VERY few of the posts from this forum get added into the game, so it doesn't really matter if bats are only meant to be aesthetic, does it?
I like bats, but I think this would be as annoying as hell. Support.
I'm not sure why you're supporting if you think this would be as annoying as hell, unless you're referring to the fact that you inflict it upon others. If you ARE supporting it, then thanks!

Uh... Mr. Jeb himself said that bats will only be used for aesthetics... Not all mobs need a purpose.

I KNOW that. I SAID it in the OP. I'm just SAYING what their use SHOULD be, if they HAD one.
We ALL KNOW that PEOPLE FROM MOJANG almost NEVER visit this forum, so WHO CARES.
So why are you posting your ideas then?
OT, I don't like this idea - I don't like the taming aspect and it needs a use.
No support.
