About
Bats Galore expands Minecraft with a large roster of distinctive bats, created for a spooky-season theme, that mostly inhabit the orange Spooky Oak biome in the Overworld; some bats also appear in other dimensions or particular locations, such as Shulker Bats in End Cities. The roster includes Steve and Alex Bats, Skeleton and Wither Skeleton Bats, Player Bats, Ghost, Slime, Sculk, Pumpkin, Creeper, Witch, Evil, Experience Orb, and Shulker Bats, as well as Christmas-themed Candy Cane, Reindeer, and Elf Bats. Bats have varied behaviors: some attack with fireballs, projectiles, or potion effects, while others can summon allies, flee threats, or teleport away; the Void Bat instead sends a player to the End when clicked. Killing bats yields their distinctive edible candies, which can have either beneficial or harmful effects, and some bats also drop special cores used in the Altar of Turmoil encounter. The Spooky Oak biome adds an occasional Altar of Turmoil, where four core-bearing bats provide items to place on its four surrounding pedestals, and a separate Christmas Forest biome brings seasonal bats and a White Pine wood set.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in the mod's own code and in Forge Config API Port, a library it includes. See Privacy
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. Both are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends about you
We read its code without running it: it contacts 1 web address while you play.
Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of both files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- raw.githubusercontent.comPurpose not known.
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.
We have not read its changelogs yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
