No Phantoms
by Macdogg
Phantoms stop spawning in No Phantoms, which is a datapack for players who want nights without the flying mob attacks.
What it does
Phantoms no longer spawn naturally in the world once the datapack is active. Bats still drop phantom membranes, with a 75% drop chance, so the items needed for enchanting and potion brewing stay obtainable. Players who sleep to skip the night are no longer harassed by phantoms that arrive after several nights without rest.
The datapack suits survival worlds, peaceful builds and RPG maps where night predators are unwanted, and it is meant for servers that want to keep vanilla progression without extra commands or plugins. Installation means placing it in the world's datapacks folder, then reloading the world with the reload command. Only the server needs the mod to be present, while the client may leave it out.
The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and its only release is 1.0.0+mod for 1.21.10, published on 2025-12-03. The code is not open source, and the project is released under All rights reserved. The author lists an issue tracker as the public link.
Key features
No natural phantom spawns
Phantoms do not appear on their own at night, which removes the repeated raids on players who have not slept.
Membrane drops kept
Bats drop phantom membranes at a 75% rate, so enchanting and potion recipes that need them remain craftable.
Vanilla progression intact
The change is limited to phantom spawning, so the rest of the vanilla survival progression is unaffected.
Datapack only
Nothing needs to be coded or added as a plugin; the change is made by placing the files in a world.

How it compares
No More Phantoms is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod under the Apache License 2.0, built for 1.18 – 1.21.8, and players can join without it because it is only needed on the server. Less Annoying Phantoms covers 1.21.4 – 1.21.5 on the same four loaders, released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and the server alone runs it. No Phantoms differs by targeting only 1.21.10 and by shipping as a datapack.
