What Are the Blue Flying Things in Minecraft?
Last updated
Have you ever been wandering around in Minecraft at night and noticed some blue flying things attacking you? You’re not alone! Many players ask about these mysterious creatures.
Let’s dive into the world of Minecraft and uncover the truth about the blue flying things that roam the night sky. Are they friends, foes, or something else entirely?
Meet the Phantom: Minecraft’s Blue Flying Menace
The blue flying things in Minecraft are known as Phantoms. These are not-so-friendly mobs that fly around and attack players. If you’ve been losing sleep over these creatures, you’re on the right track.
Phantoms spawn at night or during thunderstorms when a player hasn’t slept for at least three in-game days. They are especially drawn to players who have missed their beauty rest, swooping down from the sky to attack. Yes, Minecraft teaches us the importance of sleep in the most unique way possible!
How Can You Deal with Phantoms?
Dealing with Phantoms is pretty straightforward. First, make sure you get enough sleep. Sleeping in a bed at night resets the insomnia counter, keeping Phantoms at bay. Also, you can use a shield to block their attacks or weapons to fight back. Building a shelter or staying indoors at night is a good way to avoid an encounter.
For those who enjoy a challenge, defeating a Phantom can be rewarding. These creatures drop Phantom Membranes when defeated, which are useful for repairing Elytras or brewing potions of slow falling. So, battling Phantoms has its perks!
