About this Mod
Beware what lurks in the deep!
Phantomanta transforms the normally airborne phantoms into manta rays that attack you from the murky depths below.
This is a relatively minor behavioral change to the pre-existing Phantom mob:
- Phantoms will now spawn exclusively under the water.
- They will hang around seagrass and kelp, circling around in the same way they usually do in midair.
- Phantoms will jump out of the water to attack players if within aggro distance.
- If above-ground for too long, Phantoms will fall back into the water.
This mod is pretty simple and bare-bones, so I will do my best to port it to a few versions, but no promises!
This mod was made as a project for Mogswamp!
