Manage Phantom Spawning and Combat

Understand Phantom Behavior

Phantoms spawn after you haven't slept for several in-game days. They only appear at night and attack from the air, making them difficult to avoid. They ignore walls and roofs with gaps, so complete coverage is necessary for safety.

Prevent Phantom Spawning

The only way to stop phantoms from spawning is to sleep in a bed—but this mod bans that mechanic. Instead, accept that phantoms will eventually appear and prepare accordingly. Focus on defense rather than prevention.

Fight Phantoms Effectively

Use a bow and arrows for ranged combat, as phantoms are airborne. Aim carefully as they dive toward you. A sword works if they get close, but keeping distance is safer. Wear armor to reduce damage taken from their attacks.

Create Safe Zones

Build completely enclosed shelters with no gaps in the roof. Stay indoors when phantoms are active. If caught outside, sprint toward your base or find a cave to hide in until dawn. Water also damages phantoms, so standing in water can provide temporary protection during combat.
