Bat Grenades
<INFOBOX TEMPLATE>
Tired of the uselessness of bats? This tiny module will turn them into tiny furry flying balls of death! Bats will squeak loudly if you get near them, and vanish in a small explosion if you get too near!
Details
Bats that come near (7 block radius) a player will squeak a warning loudly and consistently. If they get within 3 blocks of a player in survival or adventure mode they will explode, even if there is a wall between the bat and the player. Bats create a very small explosion when triggered by a player - 1/3 as powerful as a creeper. While they can cause damage to nearby blocks and players, it is minimal and players will easily survive a direct hit unless on low health.

Previous Versions
MC 1.8 Version
In the MC 1.8 Version (v1.1), bat grenades will explode at a radius of 5 blocks of the player rather than 3 blocks. Additionally, bats would explode when near players in creative or spectator mode as well.
Windows 10 Beta 0.16.1 Version
Using behaviour packs, Bat Grenades has been remade for Windows 10/Pocket Edition platforms. Bats behave about the same as in the Java edition except they do not explode if there is a wall between them and the player, and they drop gunpowder using a Creeper loot table (0-3 gunpowder without looting).
