Several changes to phantom mechanics, hopefully making them less annoying and more fun to fight. Inspired by Infernal Studios’ video.<\/p>\n
Works with vanilla clients!<\/p>\n
## Changes<\/p>\n
Each change can be enabled or disabled independently. Install McQoy for a config GUI.<\/p>\n
### Stunning<\/p>\n
Hitting a phantom with **an axe**, a **critical hit**, or a **critical arrow** will stun a phantom for 6 seconds, causing it to fall and not be able to move or attack. Phantoms are also stunned by explosions, fireworks, tridents, and other heavy attacks.<\/p>\n
### Size changes<\/p>\n
Phantoms are size 1 by default, meaning they do 7 damage. Their max health now also scales linearly with their size, so they have 40 health to balance stunning.<\/p>\n
### Spawning changes<\/p>\n
Insomnia is scrapped, phantoms now instead spawn above players below half health at night like hungry vultures. Also, fewer phantoms spawn at a time to balance their increased stats.<\/p>\n ### Entity Tags<\/p>\n – `#phantomstun:always_stun` – Phantoms will always be stunned when damaged by these entities (checks the source and not the attacker)<\/p>\n ### Damage Type Tags<\/p>\n – `#phantomstun:always_stun` – Phantoms will always be stunned by these damage types Gives phantoms a stun mechanic and more to make them more fun to fight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":120869,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"phantom-tweaks","_minecraft_project_id":"sNIfZu0Q","_minecraft_author":"ThePotatoArchivist","_minecraft_license":"LGPL-3.0-or-later","_minecraft_downloads":7406,"_minecraft_follows":40,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"phantom-tweaks.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":2225821,"_minecraft_version_count":32,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T22:46:30.420345Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-02-03T08:08:48.410409Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-03-25T01:33:18.771450Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/phantom-tweaks","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":120869,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-07T02:39:17+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"b67e8ac912153aacb727a228df37d053","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,97,89,137,98],"mod_loader":[99,100],"minecraft_version":[36,37,40,41,38,78,79,80,81,82,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-120868","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-mobs","mod_category-quilt","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"\nDatapacks<\/summary>\n
