Sayonara, Phantoms
by zephnx
Sayonara, Phantoms turns off Phantom spawning in a world through a bundled datapack, so players who build roofs or stay away from the game stop getting attacked overnight.
What it does
Phantoms spawn on players who have not slept for several in-game days, and they can attack a player who is away from the game or has built over their head. The mod ships an embedded datapack that sets the gamerule spawn phantoms to false when the world loads, which stops automatic Phantom spawning. Fabric API must be installed for the datapack to load correctly. The mod is required on the server, and the client is optional. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, all for 26.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Datapack-based toggle
An embedded datapack runs the spawn phantoms gamerule command as the world loads.
No automatic Phantom spawns
Phantoms stop spawning on their own, so returning players do not find that mobs attacked while they were away.
Works with roof bases
Players who build roofs over their base are no longer targeted by Phantoms at night.

What the author says
Phantoms are really annoying mobs, especially if you go AFK and come back to finding out you've been killed by them on the roof of your base (it happened to a friend). Once you load a world, the embedded datapack will execute the gamerule spawn_phantoms false command to disable spawning of these mobs automatically.
