Bats (tame, delivery)

This new use will be very special in multiplayer games, bats will now be tameable if feed fruit (watermelon slice) once tamed the bat will act as a messaging device between to 2 players like a messaging pigeon. Tamed bat will also be able to be attached to leads. The way the player can use this method of message transport is to open the HUD interface of the bat and place a book and quill in to the inventory slot of the bat(item will appear on texture as if being held by bats feet) the sending player will then choose a receiving player that the bat will fly to(within 256 blocks) or teleport to player if (256+ blocks) away. The receiving play can follow the same steps to send a message back to the sender, but will not be able to choose another player because the bat will go back to the original sender after every flight. You may ask,"why not just use chat" well because it would be more fun and a secret way to transport mesages to players of your choice like secret weapon plans or pvp tactics or weak spots in a person's defense, plus it would just look cool

    this should be the case for bats. They won't be useless anymore and that the bats should have a craft-able pack that has 4 slots.

    They could also carry 1-2 Items per flight making trading more effective between players.

    I wholeheartedly agree - even if it's just the ability to tame them and have them follow you. Perhaps have an option like ocelots that bring out different skin options at random for the trained ones too!

    This would be fun, but here's another thing you can do: /tell (Insert Player Name Here) (Insert Message Here)
