PhantomReducer
PhantomReducer lets you control how often phantoms spawn, whether you want peaceful nights or no phantoms at all, the choice is yours.
In vanilla Minecraft, the longer you don't sleep, the higher the chance phantoms will spawn, about 25% after 4 days and around 40% by day 5.
PhantomReducer filters vanilla phantom spawns, reducing them by your chosen spawn rate.
Example:
- In vanilla Minecraft on day 5, phantoms might have a 40% chance to spawn.
- With PhantomReducer set to 25% (default), only 25% of vanilla phantom spawn attempts will succeed, regardless of how long players haven't slept.
- Setting it to 10% means only 1 in 10 vanilla phantom spawn attempts will succeed.
Features
- Lightweight and performant, minimal server impact.
- Adjustable spawn rate via config (phantom-spawn-rate).
- Simple reload command: /phantomreducer reload

# Set to 1.0 for normal phantom spawning (vanilla behavior)
