Overview
Phantoms are the game's punishment for not sleeping. They circle high overhead, then dive in a straight line to hit you and swoop away, which makes them awkward to hit with a sword but easy to shield against on the approach. They burn up at sunrise. Their membranes repair elytra and brew Slow Falling potions, so some players deliberately skip sleeping to farm them. Cats scare them off.
Phantom is one of the hostile mobs you will meet in Minecraft 1.21.4. Health sits at 20 points (10 hearts). It deals 2 damage on Normal difficulty.
Expect 5 experience per kill.
