What is Phantom Membrane in Minecraft?
A phantom membrane is a ghostly, leathery piece of skin that is dropped by Phantoms. Phantoms are the flying, screeching monsters that appear at night when you have not slept for a few days. This magical membrane is a very valuable item with two main uses. Its most important role is as the only way to repair a damaged pair of elytra, which are the rare wings that let you fly. It is also a key ingredient for brewing the Potion of Slow Falling, which is incredibly useful for exploring high places.
How to get Phantom Membrane in Minecraft
The only way to get a phantom membrane is by defeating a Phantom. To make Phantoms appear, you must avoid sleeping in a bed for at least three in game days. After the third night, they will start to spawn in the sky above you. The longer you go without sleeping, the more Phantoms will appear. They will swoop down to attack you, which is your chance to hit them. When you defeat one, it has a chance to drop one or two membranes. Using a sword with the Looting enchantment will increase this amount. Your tamed cat might also bring you a phantom membrane as a gift in the morning.
How to use Phantom Membrane in Minecraft
A phantom membrane has two very important uses. The first and most vital use is for repairing your elytra. In an anvil, you can combine a damaged pair of elytra with one or more phantom membranes to restore their durability, allowing you to keep flying. Its second major use is in a brewing stand. If you add a phantom membrane to an Awkward Potion, you will create a Potion of Slow Falling. This potion makes you fall gently, like you have a parachute, preventing all fall damage. This is amazing for safely getting down from mountains or for fighting the Ender Dragon.
