I honestly don't like your idea. BUT I like how you can eat the bat and I like the idea of a new use for these useless mobs. I think bats should AT LEAST drop some xp, but the idea of sacrificing the bat for 30 levels is ridiculous. It's just a bat. There are plenty of bats and you are more that likely to catch quite a few. I also didn't like the idea of the Batcatcher. I think it would be more efficient for the bat to drop loot. Either meat, or something (maybe) critical or not to the gameplay. But to be honest, it's difficult to put a good, genuine use to a bat. Good job on the ideas.

Well, if someone made a magic mod, maybe you could kill bats for spell components, i.e. guano, wings, fur, etc.
Yah I hear yah man, bat guano lolz! As da material component for da Fireball spell! swleet!
Oops wrong game!
Seriously, bats are annoying little bastards that constantly "interrupts" my mining, and hide the noise of backscratching creepers coming right behind me.
So I think a little reward should help tolerate those annoying mobs (most annoying being cats qhich constantly prevent me using my chests and bed).
simply just this and no more:
Bat drops:
1 XP
0-2 Bat Wings (item icon depicts a single wing)
Crafting: 9 Bat Wings = 1 Leather
Yes a very mediocre source of leather but at least you can have SOME.
Potion of Annoyance
Main ingredient: 1 Bat Wing.
Duration: Rank I = 3 minutes, but 8 minutes if Extended. No Rank II.
Effect: All friendly mobs that you touch flee from you in panic as if you stuck them for 0 damage, trying to reach a random nearby exit or move away until you are out of their sight, and they "forget" whatever they were doing too.
That would be so useful to force all those damn cats to just stop aggroing all my chests! Or make those wolves stop attacking my friends!
