Currently, there aren’t many massive changes to the Minecraft Bat. In fact, the only elements that have changed are the way it looks, its animation, and its textures.

Those diving into the Minecraft 1.21 Snapshot and Beta will likely come across the mob’s new design, but it won’t fully be added to the game until the 1.21 update is rolled out.

It’s worth noting that the 1.21 update is still in its early stages so the Bat is still subject to change, which means its look or abilities may be altered. If they are, we will be updating this article so be sure to check back soon.
