Where to find

Phantoms spawn high above an exposed player at night after the insomnia counter reaches its threshold. Sleeping or dying resets the relevant condition.

Behavior and danger

The mob circles overhead, dives along a direct path, and climbs again. As undead it burns in daylight and takes bonus damage from Smite.

Drops and uses

Membranes repair elytra on an anvil and brew Slow Falling potions. Looting increases membrane yield.

Strategy and edition notes

Sleep briefly every few days or fight beneath a roof. A shield stops dives and a bow hits between attacks; exact spawning rules differ by edition.
