	Phantoms attempt to spawn every {{tooltip\|1–2 minutes\|1200–2400 ticks}}. They spawn only if it is night or a thunderstorm is happening, the player is above sea level (y~~=64~~) with sky visible directly above (cobwebs do not block this), and the [[Minecraft:local difficulty]] is greater than a randomly chosen value between 0.0 and 3.0. The formula {{fraction\|''x''−72000\|''x''}} represents the chance of a successful spawn, where ''x'' is the number of ticks since the player last entered a bed or straw bed{{upcoming\|Wilderness Bound}} or died. This roughly comes to a {{fraction\|1\|4}} (25.0%) chance on day 4, a {{fraction\|2\|5}} (40.0%) chance on day 5, a {{fraction\|3\|6}} ({{fraction\|1\|2}}) (50.0%) chance on day 6, {{fraction\|4\|7}} (about 57.1%) chance on day 7, and so on.

	If all conditions are met, a group of phantoms attempts to spawn 20–34 blocks above the player, and off to the side by a [[Minecraft:Chebyshev distance]] of up to 10 blocks. The number of phantoms spawned is 1-2 in [[Minecraft:Easy]] difficulty, 1-3 in [[Minecraft:Normal]], and 1-4 in [[Minecraft:Hard]]. Phantoms can spawn inside buildings, if the player is outside and the building is both near enough and the building has a large enough cavity for them to spawn inside.

	If stopped or hurt during this action, the phantom retreats back to its original elevation. When a path to its original elevation is obstructed by a block, the phantom continues attempting to return - they will rarely attack or swoop down until they reach it. They will not pathfind to the elevation, simply flying up into a block, so they are relatively safe in this state. In the case of spawning under a high glass ceiling, phantoms spawn, immediately attack, and then fly up to the glass.
