Overview[]
Evil Spirits spawn during the night. They do damage like a zombie, but get hurt in any source of light, and flees from all of them. During the day, they will dissapear. They will stalk you very slowly and can even fly to get to you. They travel the speed of a zombie walking, and slightly faster while flying. They can also clip through blocks. If you want to avoid them, simply add light sources to your shelter. Being more specific, they only avoid a light source of 8 or higher.
Drops[]
Evil Spirits drop weak swords, armor, and sticks. The strongest sword they can drop is an Iron Sword with half or lower the durability. They rarely drop a Potion of Inangibility. With this you can fly and clip through blocks for a mere 5 seconds.
Appearances[]
Can be mostly found in forests, Abandoned Villages, and The Nether at night in Minecraft. Yes, even in the Nether at night. You can use them to tell time there. They only appear in Java, but they rarely appear after you die in Bedrock. They also spawn when you kill Villagers or Iron Golems in Java.
