The real reason people dislike phantoms is because they can't go without sleeping and often want to do things that require the night time in game. The solution? Coffee!
Coffee beans and coffee!
Roast them in furnace, grind the roast beans on crafting table with a bowl and stick, combine with water bottle. Can be brewed with a brewing stand to receive 3 at once instead of just 1, as well as upgrade it (espresso anyone?) to last longer.
Drinking coffee gives you 20 Minutes of 'Caffeinated' and 15 seconds of speed 1, warding off phantoms like a cat with the caffeinated effect and allowing you to go on further without sleep when caffeinated. When under the effect you are unable to sleep in a bed but can still set your spawn. A nice warm 'bucket of milk' (same method as normal) or warm 'bottle of milk' (removes caffeinated without removing other effects) should deal with the sleeplessness though.
The idea can be tweaked if it is unfit but the 'caffeinated' effect warding off phantoms is the most important aspect of this and I feel this is fairly balanced for vanilla play and removes the aspect of phantoms people dislike. People can choose to simply not drink coffee if they prefer the fear of the phantoms. I certainly know I would use this item if it made it in.
