Sven's Phantom Jockeys
Sven's Phantom Jockeys lets players ride phantoms, with three new rideable phantom types for Forge on 1.20.1.
What it does
Three new rideable phantoms are added: a Zombie Phantom, a Skeleton Phantom and a Creeper Phantom. Each rider changes how the phantom behaves. A zombie rider has standard stats and deals three hearts of melee damage on the Zombie Phantom. A skeleton rider is the fastest flyer and uses a better shooting strategy, but the Skeleton Phantom has only half the health. A creeper rider dive-bombs the player, and the slowest flyer gets an explosive speed boost when ridden.
Crafting a fishing rod with a clock yields the Clock Stick, the item a rider holds to steer a phantom. The mod is released under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and the latest file is 0.1-1.20.1, dated 2025-09-22 on the beta channel.
