    Phantoms are fun mobs that provide a neat challenge, but for reasons already stated by @Cirno, they aren't implemented well. The random punishment for not sleeping breaks a lot of stuff, fast flying mobs can be very difficult to deal with and break things like farms, and it's just annoying to randomly have to deal with them. If they only showed up later in the game (like, say, in the Nether/End), they would be great mobs.

    it would be great if they were a boss mob
    the mob itself could get 2 attacks more and be a completely full boss, after all you can already change size, make it about 5 times bigger and you have a boss that can actually be considered fun, because the mob is fun to fight, but the way it spawns and the fact they gang rape you makes them a bunch of annoying assholes
    after all their sole original purposes were to give meaning to sleeping (which they completely failed to) and to add any danger to using elytra (also failed pretty much since at the point you get elytra, phantoms arent really dangerous anymore)

    As long as you bring a bed with you along everywhere or nearby, you can easily avoid them. I recently played survival for 30ish in game days, and never fought a single phantom. I mostly slept often because I didn’t want to deal with creepers spawning in the night and wrecking my base at day. The game is basically a cake walk if you sleep all the time.

    But I do agree with all of your other points though.

    I’ve recently found a super simple way to deal with them.
    Get in a 1x1x2 hole. Now that they can’t hurt you, attack them when they try to attack you from above.

    If they added sleeping bags like in OpenBlocks life would be easier
    The OpenBlocks sleeping bag basically is where you right click with it and you sleep there during the night, it doesn’t change your spawn point and you can sleep where monsters are

    But they can spawn before you get the power 5 flame 2 bow and even if you do kill one, there are still more that will be constantly spawning to try to kill you.

    they're one shots.. I've had 4 phantoms spawn every like 40 seconds after I kill them, which isn't that bad since you can always dig a hole and wait the night out, or better yet just bring a bed with you

    Phantoms are cute, I see nothing wrong with this mob. At worst, they nibble you for minor damage if you don't sleep with their friend every week or so.
