Crimson Sun Phantom

Quickstart

1. Open the Spawn Eggs tab in Creative mode and select the Crimson Sun Phantom Spawn Egg.
2. Use the egg on the ground to summon one, preferably in an open area.
3. Watch it circle overhead before it swoops down to attack.
4. For the natural challenge, stay in the Overworld without sleeping for three full in-game days. With insomnia enabled, five Crimson Sun Phantoms will begin appearing around you every three minutes.
5. Sleep in a bed to reset the insomnia timer and stop future phantom waves.

You can also use commands:

/give @s crimson-sun-phantom-jraqslvz:crimson_sun_phantom_jraqslvz_spawn_egg
/summon crimson-sun-phantom-jraqslvz:crimson_sun_phantom_jraqslvz

Overview

Crimson Sun Phantom adds a larger demonic phantom with a red-and-black body and glowing blood-red eyes. It circles players in the sky and periodically dives to strike.

Unlike ordinary phantoms, Crimson Sun Phantoms can remain active during daylight. They are most dangerous when you remain awake for long periods, but you can also summon them directly with a spawn egg or command.

What It Adds

How To Use

Summoning

The Crimson Sun Phantom Spawn Egg is available in the Creative Spawn Eggs tab. Use it on an open location to summon the mob.

For commands, use the following IDs:

• Entity: crimson-sun-phantom-jraqslvz:crimson_sun_phantom_jraqslvz
• Spawn egg: crimson-sun-phantom-jraqslvz:crimson_sun_phantom_jraqslvz_spawn_egg

Natural spawning

Natural Crimson Sun Phantom waves occur in the Overworld when:

• The doInsomnia gamerule is enabled.
• You have gone at least three in-game days without sleeping.
• The world has reached the three-day threshold.

After that threshold, five phantoms appear around you every three minutes until you sleep. Sleeping resets the timer.

The phantoms spawn in open air above nearby terrain, so they may appear in the sky around your current location rather than directly at ground level.

Fighting

Keep moving and watch the sky. The phantom circles its target before making a sudden swooping attack. A shield, ranged weapon, or high-ceilinged shelter can help you survive repeated dives.

Existing Crimson Sun Phantoms are not dependent on darkness and can continue attacking during the day.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Hostile targeting: Crimson Sun Phantoms actively target players.
• Circling flight: They remain in the air around their target.
• Swooping attack: They periodically dive toward the player to deal contact damage.
• Health: 25 points.
• Attack damage: 8 points per hit.
• Daylight immunity: They are not harmed or disabled by daylight.
• Experience: A player-killed Crimson Sun Phantom awards 8 experience points.
• Appearance: The mob is scaled slightly larger than a standard phantom and has a demonic red-and-black texture with glowing blood-red eyes.

Crafting And Obtaining

There are no crafting recipes for the Crimson Sun Phantom or its spawn egg.

The spawn egg is available in Creative mode. Crimson Sun Phantoms can also be encountered naturally by remaining awake for three days in the Overworld while insomnia is enabled.

When killed by a player, a Crimson Sun Phantom drops phantom membranes as usual and has a rare chance to drop an enchanted golden apple.

Progression And Strategy

The natural spawning mechanic turns sleep avoidance into an escalating aerial combat challenge:

1. Prepare armor, food, a ranged weapon, and a sheltered fighting area.
2. Remain awake for three in-game days.
3. Fight the groups of five that arrive every three minutes.
4. Collect phantom membranes and experience from player kills.
5. Sleep when you want to end the cycle of future waves.

Use summoned phantoms to practice their flight pattern or to create a controlled combat challenge without waiting three days.
