📌 Anti-Phantom & Absence Disclaimer

📌 Architectural Design Policy: Better Bats deliberately refrains from adding redundant custom root commands (such as /betterbats) or custom advancement JSON files. In keeping with the Vanilla Outsider design philosophy, all mod configuration is wired directly into Minecraft's native /gamerule engine, ensuring total compatibility with existing admin tools, datapacks, and command blocks.

🖥️ Vanilla Command Integration

All configuration settings are managed via the standard /gamerule command:

# Query active bat swarm size
/gamerule better-bats:bat_swarm_size

# Set guano timer threshold to 6000 ticks (5 minutes)
/gamerule better-bats:bat_guano_threshold 6000

# Toggle pest control dive-bombing
/gamerule better-bats:bat_pest_control true

🏆 Advancement Triggers & Vanilla Loops

While Better Bats does not add custom advancement entries to the Advancement screen, all entity interactions fully trigger vanilla Minecraft advancement criteria:

• Slaying pests (Silverfish/Endermites) via bat dive-bombing triggers mob kill predicates for the bat's damage source (damageSources().mobAttack(this.bat)).
• Guano farmland fertilization triggers crop growth and bonemeal particle events (levelEvent 2005).
