Give players a way to help Phantoms

Phantoms look kind of ill and sad, and they lash out at sleepy players. It makes me want to help them out!

The basic idea:

Give players a way to help phantoms migrate to the End, so that they don't spawn in the Overworld anymore. 

How this could be done:

Phantoms are rewritten so that the End is their natural home, but they can't return there because all the portals are closed and there isn't a way to get back! This is what causes them to be hostile and to look so unhealthy. 

When the player is in the End, they can build a special structure or complete a special challenge, after which Phantoms return to the End and stop spawning in the Overworld. Phantoms then start to look more healthy and maybe a few variants start to spawn, like an armored Phantom, or a giant Phantom that lets you ride on its back and takes you to End cities. 

Why this is a good idea:

  • it gives players an optional way to stop being bothered by Phantoms, but requires effort.
  • it gives players something more to do in the End, which is something a lot of people want. 
  • it fits with the current philosophy of encouraging the player to help their environment.
  • the 'giant phantom' gives players on large servers a way to find an elytra if many of the end cities have been looted already.
