Summary of the problem Bats not spawning

What is the bug? Hello everybody,

I would be happy if it will be get fixed soon

Mod & Version The original modpack, no mods added

Is it repeatable? Go in singleplayer and try to find a bat

Known Fix

Found one - I just went down to my bedrock level quarry and waited about 2 minutes. Are you sure you are looking where vanilla mechanics say they will spawn? Below Y level 63, on top of a solid block with light level under 4. Try digging down below 63 and making a dark room.

Or go caving (below y=63) in pure darkness. If you are running around lighting up a cave while you look you are limiting where they can spawn. I have found that quarries work very well for spawning bats. (Even those that reach up to the surface, as long as it is night time.)

Ravines if you have flight are good place to look for bats as well. But I've had no issues finding them.

yep, no issue finding them for me

I found today a Bat in a Mineshaft. Maybe the spawnrate was downgraded or something. But you can find them.

My house is near a cave and there are bats coming out every couple of minutes.
