That might actually be really cool. And we could make it work if we made it so bats are especially slow and easy to shoot down when holding a chest to help prevent overpowered raiding, something postboxes were infamous for.

Yotta, how good are you at pathfinding AI?

Hmm... Why stop there? Turn bats into the new wolves. (For Sponsors only ofcourse Wink

) Have a bat follow you around, attack things for you, pick up the items and drop them at your feet. People can probably think of alot of features to add to that, including item transport. Only problem is, Yotta'd have to find a way to get the server to treat tamed bats like players, so that it will continually load chunks around them.

Never done pathfinding. Tried AI development once and then rage quit.

That would be a cool idea but i think that sponsor is a little high for paying for it.

Of course this has the chance of causing lag, so perhaps sponsors are the best candidates considering how few there are.
