Freaking Phantoms

They are part of the game, but they don't function like they do in singleplayer (which they were built for). On the server they are often quite laggy, especially when many people are on. I can't tell you how many times I've whacked them 50 times yet it doesn't register before they all bite when the server updates. We also don't have the luxury of skipping nights, which is a huge part of why phantoms don't spawn nearly as much in single player.

As for bringing shulkers around, I almost never do that because it leads to me mismanaging my inventory when I can't see everything in it. It feels like a janky solution when there's plenty of suitable alternatives that could be done on the server side. I absolutely do not want phantoms removed in their entirety, but I'm 100% for any sort of management system with them.
