Why 2b2t's Bats Are Going Extinct 

Salute to the man who randomly named a bat dingbat a decade ago.

I love the fact that almost nobody realized bats were missing until a near decade after they were endangered

Huge respect to DINGBAT for being the only bat in 2b2t

Bats are like the most forgettable mob in minecraft, yet they somehow have in interesting story in 2b2t, where literally every item has an interesting story

Knowing 2b2t i feel like theres now going to be some griefing group coming together to find the last bats and cause an extinction. RIP bats

This is incredible, it's so fascinating how one of the most annoying and useless mobs in Minecraft becomes the rarest mob on the server.

Bats are back! As of October 1st, 2023, a naturally spawning bat can be found in (399,53,7821) in 2b2t overworld. (I took several screenshots as proof) And according to 2b2t subreddit, bats aren't as rare as this video says.

This man put more work into finding why a virtual bat is going extinct than most counties do for any of their real animals.

I find it so funny no one cares about bats but having one as a pet on 2b is a massive flex now 😂

It’s funny how bats are associated with sometimes scary or spooky things and the number left was 13 before they despawned

Minecraft Bat -> Extinct in the wild (there are live specimens in captivity) A conservation plan is required in 2b2t. PS: Obviously it's all Popbob's fault.

So if I just located a bat today, how would I go about telling FitMC? I snagged pics, and it's blocked into a glass terrarium from someone long before.

Dingbat must be the loneliest bat on the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft

"Only together can we save these majestic digital animals" -- FitMC, conservationist extraordinaire

I don’t play 2b2t, heck, I don’t play anarchy servers, but Fit’s channel is so fascinating to me. I mean in MILLIONS OF CHUNKS and a DECADE later, a SINGLE bat still exists. I wish my best hopes to Dingbat

Crazy how people used to say bats are annoying and useless but now they are more rare than the blue axolotl in 2b2t. Bats deserve this support and I'm happy people see this mammal now

Next video be like : How a group of players managed to track down and exterminate the last bats on the oldest anarchy server in minecraft to prevent an in-game covid outbreak.

I love that the bats, as the most annoying and useless mob in Minecraft, are basically absent from the most annoying server. Surprised someone didn't have a room packed full of them somewhere

I love how fit can take the most basic, uninteresting topic and make it the most entertaining video I've seen

Whoever named Dingbat, I salute you, hero. 🫡

I imagine that the reason House stopped prevented the server from spawning more of them was because they'd clog up caves and because since they virtually had no fucntion (the are passive, don't drop anything, and often become annoying), he figured that by not having them at all nobody would bother.

For so long I wanted to know why I have not seen a single BAT in any of your videos Sunday Base hunting streams and lore vids and I had hoped it would be covered, and here it is. Finally.

Some 2b2t player has a pet bat hidden and is shaking in fear

It's still super impressive and cool that people like myself (who are old enough to remember the alpha of Minecraft) are still active players. I remember when the trope was all Minecraft players were kids, but now the game has been a staple so long it really isn't surprising to hear a fully grown, deep voiced man narrating a Minecraft video. Makes me feel less odd.

the talent this man has to make anything about 2b2t interesting is beyond me

By the way, bats are not the only mob that doesn’t spawn anymore. Some other mobs, the most notable being the ocelot, also no longer spawn.

Dingbat is probably older than some people that have logged onto 2b2t😭

This Feels Like A IRL Extinct Animal Discovery Show

So 2B2T has: - a custom spawn biome - different Ender dragon ai - endangered species - mega-ocean - new and unique pvp meta - economy Idek how they manage to break the game in a new way every time i take a look at it

I've just realized how crazy it is how anonymous and quiet Hause has remained, despite the fact that he runs one of the most renowned servers in Minecraft.

I have absolutely no idea how but I guessed there were 13 bats and somehow got it right

"Dingbat: The Final Flying Mammal" would make a great movie.

Never would have thought that i would watch a 10 minute video of a man talking about bats in a video game

This server is facing a species extinction now. I should really stop being suprised at this point

The FF music you put in every video is so enjoyablr but also so distracting lol. My mind immediately searches my memory for what i would most likely be doing or seeing if i was playing the game. I think this one was from FF9

if Fit gets some sunglasses, shaves his beard then he'll look like andrew

This is quite possibly the coolest 2b2t video I've seen to date, the fact that a mob could legitimately be facing extinction is nuts. My only fear now though is somebody's gonna go looking now, and that somebody won't have good intention for Dingbat, or any other remaining bats out there

It's crazy how fit always has new topics to talk about for 2b

"Random ghast fireballs out in the middle of nowhere" My private creative server had a ton of those.

i love how the most replayed part of the vid is the end of the sponsor

Kinda wild. The only other significant bat that I know of is the one which broke ilmangos tunnel bore / ice highway flying machine. Took him awhile to figure out how it stopped working, but fortunately he had it recording for a timelapse, so he found the answer.

When fit uploads on a weekday you know there’s something weird going on

after the 1.19 update, i have come across a bat, but i don't want to go public with the coordinates...

Been watching fit for years on and off. For years just waiting to get a good pc just to one day explore 2b2t fit has done an amazing job of documentation of the history of the server. Continues to make my poorness bearable

If the bats are despawning when the players get close, then the server almost certainly has to be removing them. I think they're probably disabled because otherwise they'd fill up hollow lava casts and hurt server stability.

At 4:33 rn and gonna make a prediction. Someone just has a lot a lot, of bats in one place, and that stops bats from spawning naturally because of the mob number cap. It's like a giant scavenger hunt for the bat hoard somewhere. Maybe they're all invisible or something idk lmao. If no one had found them after extensive searching, they're extremely well hidden.

Rip bats Now I feel like bats are now a new kind of flex...

Not Gonna lie but it's honestly pretty hilarious that Fit goes from talking about how you can save money whilst buying online to talking about how an animal is facing extinction inside the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft, why can't I stop laughing at this lmfao

As a (former) professional videogame tester, I gotta say that I find your coverage of the action on 2B2T to be some of the most fascinating forms of 'videogame news' on RU-vid. It's definitely inspired me to think of much bigger problems to look for in ways I never considered, and I often recommend you as a channel to study for anyone in the videogame industry, even outside of Minecraft. I'm always looking forward to your next video, please keep up the awesome work Fit! :)

Me: I need to go to sleep Me at 3am:

I never played 2b2t, but the fact the server exists for so long and has gone through multiple versions of minecraft is so cool. It's like a giant archive of the minecraft community throughout the last ten years.

i remember the time fit killed a bat on one of his videos of the southern canal. i wonder how he feels about it now.

a whole bunch of griefers are about to go (on) a bat hunt now

“Hey guys I had this extra name tag that I didn’t know what to use for, so I just named a random bat dingbat lol” - that random guy 10 years ago

Never thought I’d see a day where digital wildlife conservation is a thing lol.

After this, I feel bad for bats in Minecraft, they truly are the most overlooked mobs in the game

so dingbat is 10 years old that means in about 10 years he dies from old age, thanks to the 1.26 aging update giving them the realistic lifespan of about 20 years

I just found your channel and while I love the video topic I just couldn't get over your voice 😂 you have like the perfect narrator voice and I love it

"except for one... DINGBAT" 😂😂 I'm glad they're spawning again. The lineage of DINGBAT can continue

Can we just appreciate the fact that people are taking critically endangered species as serious on a block game as in real life

There should be a bat conservation group for 2b2t. Finding and nametagging bats to keep them alive

Loved the video @FitMC! Can't wait for the next video man! This video has brought up another "Complaint" against the 1.19 "Wild" Update. Because bats feed on Insects, Minecraft had the Chance to allow the Players to tame and Breed Bats.... With the Firefly mob. But No, instead we end up getting the Frogs. And now on 2b2t they are on the Red list of Endangered Species!

Your delivery is so compelling that there was a moment where I forgot we were talking about Minecraft and not real bats

Cant wait for a new group to form called Bat Hunters and make these bats go extinct

Props to Dingbat for keeping his species alive

I found one when I was on today. Thought nothing of it. Now I’m regretting I didn’t name tag and make a home for it 😅

I think that you may have spawned two groups those who seek to preserve, and those whom will finish the extinction event.

they should add bat wings as a drop and let it make potions of floating, then you could splash potion people with them

I saw one just a year ago about 2 million blocks north. It had a name tag and was named Jerry (it belonged to my friend as I was at his base). At the time I didn't know they were rare as I was relatively new to the server.

Dingbat x 52 Hertz Whale Being the loneliest animals on their respective worlds

Dude, these bats are older than my little brother, that is wild

The only bats left on the server are the ones used to break kneecaps.

Its possible that a plugin turned the bats into chunk loaders since 1.4 And a player loading those chunks allowed the server to reset them. And update the AI of the bats to the current version. Causing them to despawn after the chunks were unloaded.

Now that I think about it, I feel like I have encountered some before. Somewhere out in the 100k radius in 1.4 mineshafts back when I would just pillage dungeons and what not for whatever I could find.

Eventually all those hack clients will have an option called "Bat ESP" lmao

Haven’t watched in a month, just now felt the need to watch youtube saw the notification and just remembered how fun it is to watch FitMC! 🔥

Only on 2b2t would saving Minecraft bats from extinction be a serious issue.

I guessed there was 10 bats left. 3 away.

imagine if dingbat was in blackmarket circulation , damn it would have been expensive

This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million Kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the Kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

And so the hunt is on. I wish dingbat luck with his continued survival

We just need a popbob bat duplication exploit

Hausemaster really said "My bad" and turn bat spawns back on.

There might be some in the nether as well because those pesky little creatures can easily get trapped in there from underground nether portals in vanilla worlds

Fit is still a legend! Thank you for posting!

6:03 I actually guessed 13! lol

yay a 10 min video about bats thank you fit

Containing bats can be so hard, too. I had one who spawned in my home's under caves. Getting him up into my main house and in a safe room was a LONG endeavor.

Pretty much everything is extinct on 2B2T at this point

6:00 Hot damn, I recognized this music instantly. This is the theme for the "Land of the Damned" level in Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.

The banjo tooie music made it better thank you

Congrats, now there will be a group that'll try to kill the last bats...

This video made me wonder, which mob is the oldest on 2b2t ?

Nobody in 2b2t has ever gotten COVID

The history of this server could have enough history books to fill an entire library!

Out of all the mobs that we typically don’t care about. It would be the bat that’s going extinct on the oldest anarchy server in Minecraft

This guy takes so much time out of his day to bring us amazing content, rock on brother

there is a high chance that a group will form to kill the bats

Idk if you’ve ever been to a “PowerPoint party” where everyone makes a PowerPoint of varying topics for the sake of humor and judgment for prizes. This feels like a good topic for one of those
