Bats are passive mobs that spawn naturally in caverns or other large enclosed spaces. Bats are the only passive mob able to fly, chickens too and the only flying mob that naturally spawns in the Overworld. They will often emit a squeaking noise, but do not do many other things that can affect gameplay. They do not drop any items or XP when killed, making it the most 'insignificant' mob in the game.
Appearance
Bats are visually the third smallest mob in the game, being only slightly larger than baby chickens and silverfish. They are hard to see in the unlit environment in which they reside. They have dark brown skin, wings and little feet.
Spawning
Bats are the only passive mob to spawn in darkness. They can also be spawned with their spawn egg.
Naturally spawning bats do not require a large cave. Though caves are the most likely location, they may also spawn inside an unlit house if its interior are large and dark enough. On superflat worlds, bats have spawned in unlit spaces as small as 1x1, possibly because the code that spawns them cannot find another suitable location.
Bats will not spawn on glass or slabs. Since bats can only spawn in low light, similar to most hostile mobs, the existence of bats may indicate an underground cave even on peaceful difficulty.
Behavior
Bats sleep during the day and become active at night. A bat will hang upside down when it is idle, but once the player approaches, the bat will fly away. Bats cannot hang on transparent or non-solid blocks. When placed in a minecart, bats can move the minecart around on their own.
A lot of times, Bats will squeak (similar to its real life function of echolocation). By listening for bat squeaks, the player might sometimes be able to find caverns, which can be useful for obtaining resources.
Although the bat is a passive mob, they still despawn when going too far away, like hostile mobs and Zombie Pigmen.
Bats do not seem to care about lava, and if there are lava streams coming from the ceiling, they may fly into one and burn up. Most bats, however, are safe from lava, both because lava streams are uncommon and because lava gives off light, and bats spawn in the dark.

The '''ice bomb''' is an [[item]] that is used to freeze [[water]] into [[ice]].

== Usage ==
Ice bombs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them. They are affected by gravity.
Like with [[ender pearl]]s, there is a short cooldown before the player can throw another ice bomb. The cooldown is shown in the [[hotbar]] by a white overlay that shrinks before the player is able to use it again.
Ice bombs explode upon hitting most [[blocks]], including non-solid blocks, but not [[air]]. They also explode upon hitting other entities, but do not deal [[damage]], and unlike [[egg]]s and [[snowball]]s, their impact is not considered an attack and does no damage or knockback. When exploding, any [[water]] (including flowing water, but not [[waterlogged]] blocks) in a 3×3×3 cube around the ice bomb freezes into [[ice]]. Ice bombs can be used to contain and displace [[mobs]] in ice under water.
While [[endermen]] teleport away from arrows shot at them, they can be hit by ice bombs.
Throwing an ice bomb while underwater encloses the player in ice.

A '''copper horn''' was an [[item]] crafted from a [[goat horn]] and [[copper ingots]].

}}
=== Natural generation ===
Copper horns were found in pillager outpost chests.
== Usage ==
Copper horns were used to play sounds. They took one second to use and had a four second cooldown. There were ten variations of copper horns, and each of them played three different sounds: when looking up, crouching, or neither of those. In total, there were thirty different sounds that could be played using copper horns. The sound a copper horn plays based on multiple conditions, which are in order as follows:
* If crouching, the bass tune was played.
* Else, if looking up (by 45 degrees), the harmony tune was played.
* Else, the melody tune was played.
== Sounds ==
Sound names in the item tooltip are created using the harmony, melody, and bass sounds in that order.

* Copper horns were removed from the game as they didn't live up to the developers' design goals, and as such are no longer supported.<ref>{{cite|url=https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/5540500564365| title = Minecraft Beta & Preview - 1.19.0.24/25|website=feedback.minecraft.net|date=April 14, 2022}}</ref>
* This is the first item in {{el|be}} to have been completely removed instead of just made unobtainable. This is likely due to the fact it never made it out of [[experimental gameplay]].
** If a world that contained this item is loaded into a newer version, the horn will disappear upon loading.

Trivia
- In the code, bats are their own type of mob. This allows them to despawn.
- Despite the conditions being hard to find normally, it is possible for bats to drown if trapped in water.
- Bats seem to be able to spawn in mushroom biomes, as they are their own type of mob.
- Since bats use echolocation to "see", they will notice players even when they are invisible.
- Bats tend to fly to the east whenever given a choice.
- Bats are one of the few mobs that fly, the others being Ghasts, Blazes, the Wither, and the Ender Dragon.
- Bats do not drop any XP when killed.
