Everything You Need to Know About the Phantom in Minecraft

Everything you need to know about the phantom in java and bedrock edition hey guys it’s chad the phantom has been in the game for a little while now but the bedrock edition of the game just got it just a few days ago so i know that

There’s a few of you wondering what is up with this new mob in minecraft so let’s jump into it so here we are inside of minecraft and as you can tell there are no phantoms around that is because currently it is day and they don’t spawn during the day they’ll only spawn at

Night or during thunderstorms as well they also will not spawn unless if the player has not slept in a bed for more than three in-game days so you do need a little bit of insomnia in order to spawn in the phantoms so we’re gonna stay awake for a

Little while uh now if you’re gonna do this in real time and in-game day is 20 minutes so it would take one hour of playing this game without sleeping in a bed once before phantoms would start to spawn and uh you will actually have more phantoms spawn um if you haven’t slept

For even longer so if it’s been four or five or you know two or three hours uh it will be worse off for you so after the correct conditions have been met where you are above these or below the sky i should say there’s nothing above you uh you

Have not slept for a long time you will get phantoms to spawn now just looking at them and looking at how they move uh you can obviously tell that they fly they also have these really crazy green eyes that glow even without any light and as they move

You might be able to tell there are sort of these smoke trails that come off of their wings which look really really crazy so as they come down here and there is a small bug that they may not attack in uh this current edition that was actually mentioned in the release notes

But maybe they will maybe they won’t another thing is that these are undead creatures so any of the undead attributes uh that apply to zombies and skeletons apply to these guys uh specifically the smite uh effect on any type of or smite enchantment on any type of weapon will hurt these creatures a

Lot more and then also if you have a potion of healing and you splash it on them they will be hurt by that instead of being healed by that and if you have an instant damage potion then they will be healed by that instead of hurt by that it’s the

Opposite on undead creatures so let me try to provoke these guys so that we could actually kind of start a fight here okay just summon one really really close there we go so now he uh he hit me a little bit um so these guys what they will do is

They will fly up into the air then when they notice you they will swoop down and attack fun little fact is even when these guys are hit with invisibility and let’s see if we can make this happen i’m not sure if i can there we go finally got one their eyes

Will still glow and the smoke trail will still go uh so they are kind of a little bit like spiders in that aspect if we spawn a spider down and then give it the invisibility effect the eyes will still hang around which is a really really

Cool thing so you can kind of still see where spiders are so that uh it still happens with the phantoms as you can see uh that phantom right there so just like other undead creatures if the sun is out they will catch fire so this is exactly the same uh as what

Happens with zombies and what happens with skeletons so they’ll catch fire and they’ll burn up they all just died right there i don’t know exactly sure if they all dropped uh their uh loot or not it doesn’t look like they did when a phantom dies you will get either zero or

One of the phantom membrane which is this right here phantom membrane has a few really really cool features so let’s go into that well we’re just uh flying around with our elytra this area looks quite cool really interesting land here okay so let’s uh take a land and

Talk about some of the things you can use this phantom membrane for well i’ve been using my elytra just a little bit so it needs repairing used to be in the past you would use leather to repair your elytra but now you use these phantom membranes instead in order to

Repair your elytra now i don’t have any xp right now so i can’t do that but uh that is what you would use in order to repair elytra is the phantom membrane which makes it a lot more difficult to repair elytra if you don’t have the phantoms it almost encourages you to not

Sleep so that you can actually go ahead and get those phantom membranes next is brewing you can use phantom membranes in brewing i need a little bit of blaze powder there we go uh so now we can take the phantom membrane brew it into an awkward potion awkward

Potions are the potions that have already been brewed with nether wart and we will get a new type of potion there we go this is the potion of slow falling so just as it suggests basically now you will fall like a chicken one of the other reasons that uh i

Wanted to get up here up high on this sort of plateau thing is you will fall very slowly now with this potion so if you needed to get far far far down to an area you can use the potion of slow falling to do that and a

Really cool thing is that uh you will not take any fall damage with the potion of slow falling because you’re falling so very slowly which is pretty cool uh you could also use this with the jump boost effect which would be kind of cool so let’s do

That there we go here we go wow okay slowly falling down to the ground is very slow so anyway that’s really really fun to do and the slow fall it almost feels like i’m parachuting down what is this this this feels too much like fortnite um okay so that is some of

The things that you can now do with the phantom membrane oh i did not mean to do that and i’m about ready to run out of my slow falling ah oh no one more final thing to mention is that the uh phantom was added because of minecon earth there was a voting segment

Where you could as a viewer vote on a mob to be added to the game there were four different mobs that you could choose from so that’s pretty cool that that happened close to a year ago the next minecon earth minecon earth 2018 is happening on

September 29th um so hey also make sure you check that out because i’m co-hosting it so please if you could go watch minecon earth it is a virtual convention that all happens on a live stream so you don’t need tickets to get to minecon because there is no actual

Physical minecon it’s all uh just virtual so uh who knows uh what we’re gonna see at the next minecon earth but this phantom was all because of the previous minecon earth that you guys all voted for hope you found this video helpful if you did please give this
