Phantoms are the worst single decision Mojang has ever made.

We need to deal with the aftermath of it.

Phantoms drop Phantom membrane, but they can also from 1.14 be gotten as gifts from kittens.

They are used for fixing elytra and as a brewing ingredient for slow falling potions.

There are a few options for how to deal with these mobs

A

Easy to implement
We can just plain disable them, kill em as they spawn.
This option requires us to find a different way to get the membranes

Have some other mob drop it?
- Easy implementation
- Endermite?
  - Kinda overloading the endermite considering its planned use for #4
- Bats
  - Currently drop nothing
Dream catcher
- Hard to implement
- Add a new item called a dream catcher, which has a chance for dropping a membrane if a player sleeps by it
  - This could be an itemframe with a cobweb in it or something similar

B

Medium to implement
We can make them neutral mobs which don't attack
This option just makes players have to kill them while they fly up there, which is somewhat challenging.
Audio is still going to be annoying, and the fact that you cant light up areas to stop it equally so.

in 1.15 there's a new gamerule that disables them, this is a much cleaner solution than running a command every tick killing all the phantoms as they spawn

We will be using that, and this won't be implemented until 1.15

1.15 seems to be a bug squashing update and has so far only been positive/non-controversial
