🦇 LivePhantoms

Lightweight plugin that turns phantoms into an actual threat instead of just another random night mob. More health, more damage, and a configurable kidnapping mechanic that lets them grab you and carry you into the sky.

Good pick if you want survival nights to actually feel dangerous.

Features

Everything configurable through config.yml:

• Phantom spawning (on/off)
• Phantom kidnapping (on/off + configurable chance)
• Force Insomnia
• Phantom health
• Phantom damage

config:
  phantom-spawn-enabled: true
  # phantoms grab the player they hit and carry them around
  phantom-kidnapping: true
  phantom-kidnapping-chance: 50.0

  phantom-health: 40
  phantom-damage: 2
  # 0..64, bigger phantoms hit harder and have a bigger hitbox. -1 keeps the vanilla size
  phantom-size: -1

  # true keeps every player permanently sleep deprived, so phantoms never stop
  # spawning even right after sleeping in a bed
  force-insomnia: false

Configurable kidnapping

When enabled, phantoms can grab players and lift them into the air. phantom-kidnapping-chance sets how often it actually happens (0-100%), so not every hit turns into a kidnapping — you control the pace.

Zero dependencies

Works out of the box on Spigot, Paper, Purpur, or Folia. Compatible from 1.20.x up through the latest versions (26.x).
