Phantasmic Flight

The mod completely reworks phantoms, transforming them from annoying enemies into useful gameplay elements.

Main Changes

The insomnia system is completely removed. Instead, phantoms spawn with a certain probability when a player sleeps under the open sky and wakes up without waiting for night. When a phantom attacks you, it lifts you into the air and carries you away. Killing the phantom that's carrying you grants temporary flight capability - its body turns into a makeshift elytra, allowing you to glide until landing. This provides access to flight in the early game stages, but at a certain cost - health loss. However, be careful: using this method too frequently attracts stronger and more numerous phantoms.

Mechanics Details

• Insomnia (phantoms spawning after 3 days without sleep) is disabled by default
• Phantoms spawn with a chance when a player sleeps under the open sky and wakes up before night falls
• The number and size of phantoms increases depending on how many times you've used this method before
  • Phantom sizes range from 1 to 4 (unlike 0 in vanilla version)
  • The counter resets when sleeping properly through the night
  • There's a 60-second cooldown between phantom spawns (configurable)
• Larger phantoms have improved characteristics
  • Health: 4 * size + 16
  • Attack damage: size + 5
• When attacking, the phantom lifts the player and carries them into the sky
  • ...unless the player is already being carried by another phantom or is wearing an elytra (compatible with most modded elytras)
  • The Shift key doesn't allow dismounting from the phantom
• If the player kills the phantom carrying them, it turns into wings for gliding until landing
  • By default, the player switches to third-person mode until landing (configurable)
  • Fireworks cannot be used to boost with phantom wings

Additional Features

Sleeping in a bed with the Bad Omen effect turns it into Insomnia Omen. This allows:

• Sleeping near monsters and in any dimension without bed explosions
• Cannot pass the night or set respawn point in a bed
• Guarantees phantom spawn upon waking up
• Allows using phantoms for travel, for example, in the End

Configuration

Client
