I really like phantoms. When I’m out exploring, they’re really nice. If you’re going to keep running through the night, then they shouldn’t bother you too much since they despawn really easily. If you build a pillar up, then you can build a little platform on it to hunt the phantoms instead of just needing to wait for daytime. If you just box yourself in for the night, then you can build the ceiling out of clear blocks and then realize that phantoms are absolutely gorgeous. I think that they get too much hate for how wonderful they truly are
