Bat Membrane Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to start using this mod?
No setup required—just install the mod and bats will automatically have a chance to drop phantom membranes when killed. You can start hunting bats immediately.
What's the actual drop rate for phantom membranes from bats?
Bats have a 0.75% chance to drop one phantom membrane when killed, meaning you'll need to kill many bats to collect membranes consistently.
Where should I hunt bats to farm membranes efficiently?
Dark caves and underground areas spawn the most bats, especially near water or in large caverns; caves are better than hunting surface bats at night since you can control the lighting and bats won't despawn as easily.
Can I use a mob farm to get phantom membranes?
Yes, a bat farm or bat grinder will work, though bats are harder to farm than most mobs since they spawn in darkness and fly unpredictably; dark caves with fall damage or suffocation traps are the most practical setups.
Do phantoms still spawn if I have this mod?
Yes, phantoms spawn normally—this mod just gives you an alternative way to get membranes so you don't have to fight them if you don't want to.
Will this mod work with other mods that change bat behavior?
Most mods are compatible, but mods that significantly alter bat spawning or drops may conflict; test in your world or check mod compatibility lists if you're using multiple mods that affect mobs.
Is there a way to increase the drop rate?
The drop rate is fixed at 0.75% and cannot be changed without editing mod files or using a separate mod that allows configuration.
Do I still need to repair my elytra the normal way?
Yes, phantom membranes from bats work exactly like those from phantoms—combine them with a damaged elytra in an anvil or crafting grid to repair it.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
No, this mod is very lightweight since it only adds a simple drop mechanic to existing bats and doesn't create new blocks or complex systems.
Can I get phantom membranes from bats in the Nether or End?
Bats don't naturally spawn in the Nether or End, so you'll only find them in the Overworld; hunt them in caves and dark areas for the best results.
