A particle indicator shows the grab range

A large particle blast appears on the player

Player takes 3 damage (1.5 hearts)

Uses a real per-phantom cooldown (no spam)

Mobs

Breezes themselves are immune

Creates a dangerous “wind aura”

🧙 Witches

Every 10 seconds:

Cooldown is per-witch

Webs persist until broken

Makes witches excellent crowd-control enemies

👻 Vexes

Vexes effectively have extended attack range

⚙️ Technical Notes

Fully vanilla datapack

No mods required

Compatible with Minecraft 1.21.x

Uses:

Scoreboards for cooldowns

Entity tags for stability

No deprecated NBT

Performance-safe unless extreme mob counts are used

💀 Overall Design Goal

This datapack turns normal mobs into high-pressure combat threats, forcing players to:

Respect spacing

Manage positioning

React to overlapping mob auras

Adapt instead of brute-forcing fights
