Details

When a phantom is in range, the Phantom Scarecrow will turn release a projectile that searches for the nearest phantom, explodes and kills it. Explosion damage from the projectile also damages nearby Phantoms.

The Phantom Scarecrow can be created by placing any mob skull on an armour stand and a chest plate with a curse enchantment (Vanishing or Binding).

Technical Summary

When the firework explodes, a random colour is chosen.

The projectile used to kill the phantoms is a Area Affect Cloud.

When the Phantom Scarecrow is created- all slots are locked to prevent interaction.

The scarecrow shoots a maximum of five shots every 4 seconds.
