Phantom Scarecrows

Module Type	Stand Alone
Created by	Bluefire610
Compatible MC Versions	1.13

This modules adds a scarecrow which shoots down Phantoms using a firework-like projectile.

Details

A Phantom Scarecrow can be created by placing a skeleton, wither skeleton, or zombie skull on an armour stand and a chest plate with a curse enchantment (Vanishing or Binding).

When a phantom is in range, the Phantom Scarecrow will release a projectile that searches for the nearest phantom, explodes and kills it. Explosion damage from the projectile also damages nearby phantoms and other entities. If a phantom is detected, a projectile will spawn above the scarecrow and will move towards the closest phantom. If the projectile hits a block on its path to the phantom, the projectile will explode.

Technical Summary

When the firework explodes, a random colour is chosen.
