Soaring Phantoms

This mod completely changes the spawning mechanics of phantoms in the game. Now these winged creatures appear exclusively at high altitudes during nighttime, regardless of whether the player has slept or not. If you hold a phantom membrane in your hands, their spawning is completely blocked. The main goal of the modification is to replace the annoying standard spawning system with a more predictable and non-intrusive one.

Mod Features

Phantom Spawning Based on Altitude

When this feature is enabled, the game attempts to create phantoms around the player at night if they are above the set altitude level. The probability of successful appearance depends on how high the player has climbed relative to the base mark.

• Completely replaces the standard phantom spawning mechanics based on insomnia
• Setting the game rule doInsomnia to false still disables all phantoms
• Phantoms appear only at night and cannot spawn if there is a light-blocking block above the player
• Probability formula: 1 - (baseHeight / playerPositionY)

Configurable parameters:

• Enable or disable altitude-based spawning
• Set base height for spawning (default 160)
• Configure spawn check frequency in seconds (default 30 + random number from 0 to 29)

Passive Phantoms Before Defeating the Ender Dragon

When this function is activated, phantoms do not attack the player until provoked, and spawn above the set passive spawning height, which is lower than the normal one by default. After defeating the Ender Dragon, phantoms become aggressive again upon spawning. Phantoms in the End are always aggressive by default.

This feature is disabled by default.

Configurable parameters:

• Enable or disable the function
• Set height for passive spawning (default 96)
• Control aggressiveness of phantoms in the End

Repelling Phantoms with Specific Items

When the function is active, phantoms cannot spawn if the player holds any item from the repellent list in their main or off-hand.

Configurable parameters:

• Enable or disable phantom repelling
• Add new items to the repellent list (default: minecraft:phantom_membrane)
