Before I watch the video, I’ll make a prediction/hypothesis of my own: Phantoms don’t only spawn when the player doesn’t sleep. Rather, they show up whenever the player DOES sleep, and has some sort of symbiotic relationship with them. Probably commensalism, as sleeping doesn’t seem to affect the player positively or negatively at all. The Phantoms somehow gain something from interacting with a sleeping player. Evidence that they do show up while the player is sleeping is that whenever you have a cat sleeping with you, it has a chance to bring you Phantom Membrane when you wake up. This implies that your cat hunted and killed a Phantom that approached you while you slept. The reason they begin to attack you after 3 days without sleeping is because they begin to get ‘hungry’ for whatever it is you provide them when you sleep(dreams, perhaps?). At first only the hungriest Phantoms come to try to collect from you, but every day you don’t sleep, more and more Phantoms run out of patience waiting for you to sleep on your own. If we aren’t assuming that enemies just ‘spawn’ and that’s just for gameplay purposes, perhaps Phantoms live somewhere high above the build limit? If they come down from way up in the atmosphere whenever you’re asleep, this would explain why they can’t just spawn in the Nether or the End whenever you’re there and haven’t slept for a while. This also may explain how they survive in the day with out burning. Maybe the exist outside of the Minecraft Earth’s atmosphere, and there aren’t enough particles to reflect the amount of sunlight needed to burn them. What do you guys think?

“We don’t know where undead mobs go during the day.” During the day, they spawn in dark places, like caves. So, during the day zombies, etc. Retreat to the caves. I think you could speculate that for phantoms except for the fact that they don’t spawn at all during the day, which I see as a gameplay mechanic decision and not as lore.

Dogs are physical protectors, while cats are spiritual protectors. Phantoms are spiritual apparations feeding on the unrest of your mind after not sleeping. They are invisible to the other mobs. Cats are the only mobs who can sense the spiritual threat, and they can protect you from it. For all the people commenting that creepers are also scared of cats, I believe it was to give cats a purpose before phantoms were added in.

Not sure how this plays into the phantom theories, but I think you should look at thunderstorms and lightning as part of the "cataclysmic event" that made the ancient builders undead. Not a direct cause, but possibly a leftover side effect of whatever happened. Lightning can change a villager into a witch, a pig into a zombified piglin, and can spawn undead horses and skeletons. Also, the drowned can spawn with tridents which can be enchanted with channeling, harnessing this power in a portable form. Ancient inhabitants still using their weapons that helped create the cataclysm perhaps?

what if the reason there are no live phantoms is because they've been hunted to extinction by the precursor builders after they realized they could make foolproof wings out of the phantoms' parts? That could explain why there seems to be an endless amount of elytras the player can find.

Imagine if a hoard of phantoms enter your nether portal

See my theory actually includes the snapshot and pre-release content as part of my theory. The Enderman had green eyes in the pre-release, but then their eyes became purple. The Ender Dragon has purples eyes as well, I take this as evidence of the Ender Dragon's corruption or influence. The Phantoms all have green eyes, and they were able to spawn in the End back in their first appearance in Snapshot 18w07a. I think this is a sign they both came from the End, that End creatures for the most part had green eyes, and that when the Ender Dragon showed up it started to influence the Endermen, so the Phantoms (being actually more intelligent than we might think at first) united from across the End to escape the dimension before the Ender Dragon could close the portal between the Overworld and the End. The Piglins and Zoglins transform into zombies due to exposure to the airborne zombie plague when they cross over, so the same could've happened to the entire Phantom race when they did. This leaves thousands or millions of undead Phantoms roaming the Overworld, and none in the End since they all fled before the Ender Dragon could make the Phantoms part of their domain.

With the phantoms. Have you considered the old primer model from there introduction to the Minecraft community as the living version of the phantom? Wonder why the developers changed the design in the first place.

Eventually The End dialogue will be mentioned in this series, and I feel like the Phantoms could somehow be tied to that, since the two beings speaking mention dreaming and sleep, and then at the end of the dialogue say "wake up". Then again I'm not really sure how strongly connected it would be with just the sleep factor.

I have a theory and it might be a stretch but hear me out: Phantoms came from the end and were affiliated with shulkers. Think about it, shulkers guarded the end cities and enderman couldn’t fight them and neither could the shulkers, so there was a 3 way alliance, the phantoms, who could go thousands of blocks and search for loot, enderman, who could make them more reliable and more effective long distance, as seen with them hunting for players that don’t sleep. I suspect the players that don’t sleep are hunted down solely for their infection, not because it was a magically inherited trait. The phantoms must come from the outer outer space in the end, as elytra must’ve been something that could be crafted by them,. I also think the end city ships were ships that could go very fast in the air, and they were used to travel where the phantoms were leading them to. This might be a stretch also but what if the enderman accessed the end through multiple portals at different locations? There’s strongholds everywhere and it makes me think that all but one portal was destroyed, and there is a 1,000 block distance from the end islands to the main site. I think in general phantoms came from the end but then after the builders got trapped they found their way to the overworld and got infected, and then hunted for their prey at night, it’s also weird that foxes sleep under the shade, which means that they could be aware of the phantoms existence. I think this is because phantoms can’t really attack animals under low blocks, as they get stuck.

Honestly, I think the reason why the phantoms are undead is probably because during the night, the ancient people would shoot arrows at them for their membranes so that they can fix their elytron. And when the bodies of the phantoms were lifeless on the ground, the zombie virus was spreading around, affecting the phantoms as well. It’s also another reason why they only come at night and when you wake up and go outside, you can sometime see them burn and die. That’s my little theory on why I think they are undead and stuff.

It was stated somewhere that entities and objects in Minecraft are named in the same way a random traveler or discoverer would name them upon first contact. Which is why there are some basic names (like Zombie, Skeleton) and more complex ones (Ghast, Piglin, Ender-anything). Phantoms appear to the player in the darkness of night, release some weird particles during flying and their spawn condition is somewhat related to the fatigue caused by sleep deprivation which prevents human's brain from thinking straight and possibly makes them seriously believe in ghosts and stuff. Which is why Phantom was chosen as a name. But that's just my guess.

And, congratulations for hitting 200k Subscribers!

Here's my theory; a phatom is an undead Enderdragon egg baby AND they (Phantom and the Enderdragon) are a type of vulture as they fly in a circle formation waiting for weak and tired prey. They hatch from all of the other eggs that were accidentally lost by the ancient players. Now you may be wondering, "Well why don't you find eggs just in the middle of nowhere!?", well it's from The End, if you were to ask me that, I would say that they go invisible until hatched using magic.

You SAY that, but one look at the Allay and this is obviously not a necessary truth. …On the other hand, of course, that was 1.19. 1.13 may have been one of the best updates ever, but as much as we’re used to lore-diving today, it was actually just at like 1.14 with the illager expansion where they started to really put proper care into fleshing the game’s lore out. It may have only become a more widespread point of popular discussion thanks to what the Warden brought, but that was when it all really began. So I guess even though the Allay was given plenty of hints to it, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything for phantoms.

Developer: Let's add phantoms they are cool. This guy: But why? Why would you do that?

My theory, phantoms are shulkers that are grown up, shulkers are in the form of the baby in their chrysalis just like bugs, they have a hard shell to protect them from attacks until they grow up. Phantoms are the dead versions of the live phantoms that live in the end. We don't see live phantoms in the end because they either live low under the islands or they live high above the islands. Here's another reason why I think phantoms are the dead versions of the live phantoms that were once shulkers, the shulkers projectiles. The Shulkers projectiles when hitting a mob makes the mob float, this is a self defense mechanic that shulkers use when they are a baby, and have no form of attack. The projectile also leaves a trail of what seems to be some kind of smoke or dots, similar to the phantoms trails when they fly. This doesn't explain why phantoms attack players or why they spawn in the conditions they do but this is just a theory I came up with, also love and support to RetroGamingNow for making this video.

I just now noticed you use the business Enderman skin, the very same I use pretty much exclusively XD That aside thanks for the thought food about phantoms, all your vids are very intriguing and I love your theories

you know how you can spectate ender men and see the world from they’re perspective, have you tried spectating the phantom to see where they go when the sun comes out or to see where they are when the player has been sleeping well

i just wanna mention that a reverse of seeking out nonsleepers would seem to greet someone after sleeping, which is often symbolised with birds.

The phantom as a concept was always interesting. It's just the execution is very annoying, and that takes away the scare factor it's trying to give. Also, Phantoms just find you by not sleeping. You can sleep and then spawn in a phantom using commands or creative mode and they'll still attack you, it is just the locating part that's linked to sleep.
