How to Disable Phantoms on Your Minecraft Server
Phantoms are flying hostile mobs that spawn during the night (usually in packs of three) when a player hasn’t slept for three in-game days. This mechanic was introduced to encourage regular sleep in survival gameplay. While they can add challenge and atmosphere, many players find them annoying, especially on creative servers where sleep cycles aren’t followed.
Thankfully, it is very easy to turn them off.
