# How to Disable Phantoms on Your Minecraft Server

Phantoms are flying hostile mobs that spawn during the night (usually in packs of three) when a player hasn’t slept for three in-game days. This mechanic was introduced to encourage regular sleep in survival gameplay. While they can add challenge and atmosphere, many players find them annoying, especially on creative servers where sleep cycles aren’t followed.

Thankfully, it is very easy to turn them off.

### **Step 3:** Disable Phantoms
You don't need to stop the server since this change doesn't modify any files. Just head to the **Terminal** and type the following command in the console:

```
gamerule doInsomnia false
```

Alternatively, if you are in-game and have OP permissions, you can type the command directly into the chat.
