Phantom

Phantom is a flying undead hostile mob that spawns in the night sky once a player has gone three or more in-game days without sleeping in a bed or dying. It dives from above to attack players, making it a persistent airborne threat.

When killed by a player, phantoms drop 5 experience and 0–1 phantom membranes, which can be increased with the Looting enchantment.

Phantoms cannot be bred and only spawn when a player has not rested for three nights. They are repelled by cats, which hiss at them and force them to stay at a distance. They burn in sunlight, making them most dangerous during extended night exploration.

Phantoms are hostile mobs that attack by swooping down from the sky and biting the player. After each attack, they fly back upward before diving again. Their flight pattern makes them difficult to hit with melee weapons, making bows or ranged attacks more effective. Phantom membranes are a key ingredient for brewing Slow Falling potions and can also be used to repair elytra.
