How to tame bats in Minecraft no mods

I've been doing an experiment of taming animals which animals can and can not be tamed to follow and attack for you. Bats don't seem to respond to any type of food I use, and ocelots have hearts above them when I feed fish to them, but does not tame them. Is there a way to tame ocelots or bats?

Yes and no, there is a way of taming an ocelot, you would do this by feeding it raw fish. You must be very careful when feeding the ocelot because it scares very easily. When the ocelot becomes tamed it will change color, so you will know when it's tamed.

As for taming a bat I don't believe there is a way in vanilla Minecraft. There are ways to catch a bat and place it in your house so it looks tame, but that would be for looks.

Ocelots used to be tamable. Once cats were put in the game, the Ocelots would turn into a breed of the cats in the game now but now they're both separate things.

I know in normal minecraft you cane tame bats by giving them pumpkin pie, but I play minecraft demo and for some reason it does not work. I don't understand why.

As for ocelots, they can't be tamed but if you feed two ocelots fish that are next beside each other they will get a baby ocelot.

Bats and silverfish

In short: to tame a bat, feed it with silverfish drop.

I'd like to propose a small idea to give bats and silverfish interesting uses. It's like connecting two loose points that seem useless.

Current situation

I noticed some people have already said that bats are useless, they are rather eye-candy mob and add mood to the caves than anything else. I noticed too, someone people (me too) would like to tame them. But how? I thought most bats eat fruits and insects; silverfish is an insect.

So, we have the current situation:

- Bats don't drop anything, not even XPs. They are rather for aesthetics. Almost no benefit: most players don't have interest in bats since they don't offer anything else than aesthetics and cues for caves.

- Silverfish don't drop anything too and are hostile. No player would want to look for silverfish. They don't do anything else than hurting the player that is exploring a stronghold or mining in extreme hill biomes.

Details of the idea

The idea is to give a rewarding way for people who want to tame bats. It needs to be a bit challenging, harder than taming any other passive mob.

1. First, find silverfish: If you want to tame a bat, you would need to find a good amount of silverfish, which are found only in the strongholds and rarely in extreme hill biomes, and kill some of them. Silverfish would drop something, I'm not sure what, it could be "Death Silverfish".

2. Taming bats: Collect some drops from the silverfish you killed, go to a cave where the bats are and offer the drops to the bats, or feed them directly by right-clicking on them. If successful, the tamed bats will follow you (flying around), or sit on your shoulder, or even you would be able to catch one with your hand.

3. Perch - Leaving them home: If you want to leave your tamed bat resting somewhere, you would need to build a perch (no cage please!), which is made of sticks and planks:

Once you have made a perch, right-click on it and the bat will fly from you towards the perch and hang on it upside down. If you want to give your tamed bat a walk, just right-click on him/it.

4. Possible uses of tamed bats:

- Bats would be able to kill silverfish on sight. This means that you can leave tamed bats flying in a room where the silverfish spawner is: you have now silverfish XP grinder.

- Bats would squeak faster if a hostile mob is approaching or spawned nearby. Say, you built a mushroom farm, which requires some darkness or mushrooms won't grow up, but once in a while a hostile mob spawns there. You can leave a tamed bat there to alert you if a hostile mob spawned in your badly lit room.

That's all.

How do you tame a pet bat in Minecraft?

Right click with the pie on the bat to tame it. The bat gains experience as it fights mobs, and also takes damage or/and gets weary, so its health bar goes down. To heal the bat either throw a pumpkin pie on the ground, that the bat will eat, or put it in a crafting table together with the pie.

How do you get a bat in Minecraft?

In Minecraft, you can find bats in most Overworld biomes within dark caves and caverns. Bats spawn in the dark or at night in light levels of 7 or lower. If you are having trouble finding a bat, you can summon a bat using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.

Can we tame bats?

Bats are interesting animals and sometimes desirable pets. But keep in mind that bats are wild animals. They don't behave like domestic dogs and cats. Bats are not trainable.
