Monster of the Night Skies

Phantoms are rightfully considered one of the most annoying creatures in Minecraft. Being the only hostile flying mobs in the Overworld, they have turned into an irritating mechanic that many players prefer to disable.

With the cancellation of the mob vote, I decided to rework Mob B - the Phantom. No more insomnia mechanics, no more swarms of phantoms spawning when exiting caves, and no more endless piercing screams above your base while you're going about your business.

Key changes to Phantom behavior:

• Spawns only at night on players using elytra for flight
• Mass attacks are eliminated - only one phantom can exist per player at a time
• The phantom can now outpace the player and applies the "Weighted" effect when biting
• The Weighted effect increases gravitational impact on the player, reaching 300% at level six
• When colliding with obstacles at high speed, the phantom dies
• If the player lands, the phantom circles above them for 15 seconds but does not attack
• During circling, the phantom attracts all hostile mobs within a large radius to the player's position
