A common question that pops up among Minecraft enthusiasts is regarding the spooky, night-flying mob known as the Phantom. So, when did these eerie creatures start haunting the skies of Minecraft? Keep reading to find out!

Phantoms: The Night Sky Terror

Phantoms swooped into the Minecraft world with the 1.13 update, also known as the Update Aquatic, which was released in July 2018. These mobs were the result of a community vote, chosen to be added into the game, adding a bit of a challenge to the nocturnal adventures of players.

Appearing in the Overworld when a player hasn’t slept for three or more Minecraft days, Phantoms are known for their spooky appearances and swooping attacks. They brought a new level of excitement and urgency to find a bed before nightfall, changing the way players approached their nightly routines.
