by fabbe50

Friendly Phantoms is a server-side mod that adds a gamerule to stop phantoms from attacking players.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.4

What it does

A world's doPhantomsAttack gamerule can be set to false, so phantoms still spawn but never attack. Players can keep farming phantom membranes without the risk. The setting can be chosen per world, either from the gamerules menu during world creation or with the command /gamerule doPhantomsAttack false. Only the server needs the mod, so single-player worlds and client installs run it without any change on the player side. Architectury API must be installed alongside it on every loader. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 6 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code is open.

Key features

  1. Gamerule for phantom attacks

    Adds a gamerule that turns off phantom attacks while leaving phantom spawning unchanged.

  2. Per-world setting

    The gamerule can be set on world creation or changed later with a command, so each world keeps its own behaviour.

  3. Membrane farming kept

    Phantoms still spawn, so membrane drops remain available without the attack risk.
