Phantom Spawn Prevention

CONTEXT

All hostile mobs stop spawning in higher light levels, yet phantoms spawn after 3 days of no sleep and can't be disabled by torches. I believe that this is an example of an uncontrollable disaster. Similar to tornados, a phantom will spawn if you want them to or not. Sleeping should NOT be forced on players that don't want to deal with phantoms.

SUGGESTION

Add a block/entity that prevents phantoms from spawning in an area.

APPLICATION

Copper has been used to make a pole that attracts lightning. I think it can also be used to make a block that is like a scarecrow. A more interesting application would be to bring back the copper golem, so it can prevent phantoms from spawning or coming close to your home. (It can still act like a button randomizer.)
