Disabled Phantoms
by Egireon105
With Disabled Phantoms, a server owner or individual player can switch off phantom spawning, either for everyone or per player.
What it does
Phantoms are the flying mobs that appear when a player goes too long without sleeping. Disabled Phantoms lets a player turn their own phantom spawning on or off, and sets global rules that apply to the whole server. A command controls the phantoms spawn setting with true or false, so an operator can stop phantoms from spawning near anyone who has not slept for a long stretch, and restore vanilla spawning later.
The mod runs on a server, in singleplayer or on a dedicated server, and it works with vanilla clients. Players join without installing anything, because only the server side needs the file. Fabric API is a required dependency and is pulled in automatically with the mod. Builds exist for Minecraft 1.21.1 with the Fabric Loader, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Per-player phantom setting
Each player can individually enable or disable phantom spawning for themselves.
Global server rules

A command sets phantoms spawn to true or false, turning spawning on or off without editing files.

Use cases
Quieter survival servers
Server owners can stop phantoms from attacking players who sleep irregularly, while leaving vanilla behavior for everyone else.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to control phantom spawning, and players who find phantom attacks more annoying than useful.
How it compares
Phantom Spawning is server-side only, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and published for Fabric across 1.14 – 26.3. Disable Phantoms Individually is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but its files cover 1.20.6 – 1.21.4, so it does not reach 1.21.11. Insomnia Notifier is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it changes the client instead of spawning.
