Previous Versions
MC 1.8 Version
In the MC 1.8 version (v1.0-1.1), 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. This version of the module did not have achievements.
MC 1.9-1.12 Versions
In the MC 1.9-1.12 versions (v2.3-2.5), the advancements were actually a simulated achievement, using tellraw to show the message. This has been transferred to advancements upon the release of the 1.13 version (unreleased).
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).
