Adding Life to the End: The Phantom Hive

I've seen a some posts here about adding phantoms to the End, and I wanted to throw my own idea into the mix. My suggestion is to add a new structure that would spawn on the bottom of the outer End islands, the Phantom Hive. This would be a large, almost spherical structure that spawns semi-rarely on the bottom of large End Islands, where phantoms would spawn. To make sure the End isn't overrun with annoying phantoms, the hives spawn on the bottoms of islands, it would be rare for a phantom to make its way to the surface. So, the player would really only interact with the Phantom Hive if they wanted to.

The hive itself would be made of a new block called Phantocomb, similar to honeycomb. One phantom at a time would be able to enter this block, like bees do. The hives wouldn't be very big either, being about 10-20 blocks in diameter.

    Maybe the hive should just be a structure like an ocean monument but made of natural materials, perhaps a variant of endstone that the phantoms procure and process like mud daubers do with, well mud.

    Maybe if someone drops an item near a phantom hive, the phantoms can pick it up and horde it in their nest. If you break phantocomb, maybe besides the block drop, there can be a chance that there is loot inside of it. In the End, there can be different variants of the phantom with different behaviors, health, and drops, like a queen phantom or a phantom drone, but the Overworld phantom can be the most common, like a worker phantom.
