Phantoms are flying common undead hostile mobs that attack players who haven't slept in over three in-game days.
Spawning
Phantoms spawn in the Overworld at night; high above players that have not slept for at least 3 days. Phantoms will spawn more often the longer a player has gone without sleep.
For phantoms to successfully spawn, the player in question must be above sea level and not have a block above its head which blocks light in any way (for example leaves won't work as they have a light opacity of 2,[verify] but glass will work as its light opacity is 0).
Once the conditions are right, a pack of 1–4 phantoms attempts to spawn 20–34 blocks above the player, and off to the side by up to a taxicab distance of 9 blocks, every 1–2 minutes. The chance of a successful spawn is x-3⁄x, where x is the number of nights since the player has slept, which comes to a 1⁄4 chance on day 4, a 2⁄5 chance on day 5, a 3⁄6 on day 6, and so on.
Phantoms are counted towards the hostile mob cap, but don't respect it when spawning. Their spawning mechanic is based on the location of players in the world, not by randomly choosing a block near the players like regular mob spawning.
Drops
Phantoms drop 0–1 phantom membrane when killed by the player, which can be increased with the Looting enchantment.
Behavior
A Phantom swooping at the player.
When idle, phantoms will fly around in a circle at a constant y-elevation, leaving a trail of gray smoke while doing so. They have a quite large search radius, and will occasionally either swoop down or up quickly to attack their victim. If stopped or hurt during this action, the phantom will retreat back to its original elevation. When idle over water, the phantom will sometimes swoop into the water and will die as it is not pushed back up.
In water, the player is at a large disadvantage to the phantom, as the phantom's motion is not affected by water.
When under the Invisibility effect, the phantom's body will disappear, but its eyes and smoke particles will still be visible.
Phantoms will burn in sunlight. Like other undead mobs, they are harmed by the Instant Health effect, healed by the Instant Damage effect, and immune to the Poison and Regeneration effects.
