Minecraft allows many wondrous things, like making it the home of your Dungeons & Dragons game or modifying it into an edgy version of Elden Ring. I'm Here created a Minecraft flying mod that lets players ride on ground-based creatures.
Ameito on Reddit took a look at the building game and concluded that players should be allowed to mount winged creatures. There are many flying Minecraft mobs and Ameito chose the phantom for this test. The phantom, a dead mob, spawns only if players haven't sleep or died in the game for more than three days. It is so unique that players might not have ever seen it.
Ameito's mod lets players ride the elusive creatures, by using an ender's eye to control them. "When you throw an ender eye to a phantom," the modder states, "it will kill it and summon an invisible llama as well as a new phantom with specific tags. The Phantom is always teleported into the position of a llama, so that when you mount the llama, it appears as if you're riding the Phantom.
It might seem like magic to some, but the final result is flying into the sky with a spooky, dark creature of the night. Since the phantom is undead, it would normally be burning during the daytime, but Ameito has shut off that particular feature to prevent any mid-flight issues. This mod is fun however it opens up many possibilities - sky races anyone?
