Rework Phantoms

Phantoms do sound like a cool mob, but when they spawn every time after someone hasn't slept is a bit annoying. A way to fix this is to change the way they spawn. Instead of phantoms spawning every time someone hasn't slept, they should spawn in a different way. Let me try explaining it like this. Imagine, it was nighttime, you were spending time on the roof of your house. Suddenly, a phantom right behind you bites you. You jump in fear because you had no idea they were gonna spawn. And it wasn't even because you haven't slept. But why did they spawn? Those Phantoms spawned like a pillager patrol. They will spawn in groups of 4 at a random time. You will have no idea when they'll spawn. That will make the game scarier because back then you can simply know when phantoms spawn when you have a bed, but now you have no idea when they'll spawn. They could spawn when you're building a bridge and knock you off when you're totally unprepared. If you think this makes the phantom a weaker mob, you could make it deal more damage and knockback. That way, phantoms will be less annoying, but they're also more scarier and dangerous.

    As it turns out, people have apparently already forgotten just how bad of a mob Phantom truly is and seeing this suggestion with 0 votes throughout all those months makes me actually, genuinely mad. No, giving your players an option to disable Phantoms is not enough - They are in a dire need of severe rework from grounds up and have been ever since they have been first introduced to the game after winning the first ever mob vote. No matter the way they would have had been reworked, they are an issue, a stain on the otherwise perfectly fine and amazingly fun game. The thing is, they just need to change - If not, they need to be completely thrown out of the game. No, an argument that they have had been the winner of the OG mob vote should not matter here. The people who voted for the mob turned out to absolutely hate it either way and many of us still do hate those things to this very day. They are THE mob that no one would cry after if it had been gone. I'm usually against removing any and all content pieces in any game whatsoever but Phantoms are a special case and therefore deserve the right to be treated separately to all of my other beliefs about game design. Many of your players have had already complained that the mob severely damages player's freedom and the argument is still valid - All you, that is Mojang/Microsoft have had done about this is be ignorant and only give us a dumbass command to disable them which does not solve the core issue that the mob has.
