Phantom Warner
by gifti3003
Phantom Warner is a server-side Fabric utility that warns players when phantoms are about to attack, showing a countdown above the hotbar before each spawn.
What it does
Phantoms usually appear after a player goes too long without sleeping. The mod tells players when phantoms are about to spawn and shows a clean countdown in the action bar, right above the hotbar, so chat stays free. A short sound plays with each message so players do not miss the warning.
The timer pauses while the player is out of the world and resets to zero when a player sleeps in a bed, so a warning is only shown when it applies. Creative Mode players still see the messages, and the warnings make clear when phantoms cannot spawn. The mod is light enough to run on a busy server with little extra load.
Only the server needs the mod installed, and players join without installing anything on their own computers. Phantom Warner requires Fabric API on the server and is published for Minecraft 26.1.2 only, with the file dated 2026-05-27. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
