I'm trying to get rid of all the bats in my Minecraft world, but the command/kill @e[type=Bat] isn't working.



Best Answer

If the commands aren't working and you are sure that it is correct (The one on your question is correct), then either you have cheats disabled, you aren't op (only if you're on servers), or using an old version. The "@e" target selector was added in Minecraft 1.8.0.

    The command looks correct for 1.12. If that is the version that you are using, try enabling cheats of it is your world and if it's a server that belongs to a friend, get them to do /op yourmcusername. If you are on a server like hive or mineplex, you can't do commands like that.
