Tame Phantom
Tame Phantom lets players tame the flying phantoms that attack at night, turning them into loyal companions that follow and fight for their owner.
What it does
Phantoms can be tamed by feeding them rotten flesh. A tamed phantom gets bright yellow eyes, follows its owner, and will swoop down to defend the owner against attackers. Its eyes turn whiter as its health drops, and feeding a tamed phantom heals it. When a tamed phantom wanders far, it teleports back to its owner, and it can hover nearby instead of staying at the owner's side.
A Phantom Whistle is crafted to recall tamed phantoms to the player, and it can also tell a pet phantom to sit and stay in one place, which suits protecting a home base. The mod is useful for players who travel through wilderness or explore, since a phantom stays close and ready to help in a fight.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server. Both the server and every player need it installed, and it also works in singleplayer. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
