Yes I did not sleep for days, yes it's completely dark but I see no phantoms spawning. If this is how I am gonna have to stop my hardcore world i'll be dissapointed.
Not sleeping for 3 days and it being night are only two of the four conditions required for phantoms to spawn. The other two conditions are that the player must be above sea level (y=64) and the player must have a clear view of the sky (no blocks over your head). Hope that helps.
How many nights, approximately, have you gone without sleep?
3 is the minimum but the frequency of them appearing increases with more unslept nights.
If you're playing in a recent version there is a gamerule [doInsomnia] that when set to false stops phantom spawning.
When it was introduced worlds that were updated could have it set to false.
If you suspect that could be the problem you can, temporarily, allow cheats by opening the game to LAN and choosing to allow them. (In the Java edition.)
Then you can type
/gamerule doInsomnia
and it should tell you if it's set to true or false, if it's false you can turn phantoms on again with
I just checked it and it says true, I guess I will just tryna make my nether highways and farms to keep busy and hopefully they spawn. I need the slow falling potions but cheating ruins the world.

You can also get the membrane as gift from tamed cats. That way you can get the potion without insomnia enabled.
It seems to me you had bad luck, maybe the mobcap was nearly maxed? Try again in an area you have mostly spawnproofed already.
You can also tower up very high and wait there, that should do the trick.

My projects:
-are abandoned for now. I might pick 'em up in the future.
For now i'm working on a private modpack that suit's my own playstyle.
I am gonna stay in modded 1.12.2 untill my potato dies. No mercy! :Q
I will try too just afk every night on a tower, maybe find a jungle orso with cats and take em home, cheating is not an option for me. Maybe i'll see you on here later. Thanks all!
Phantoms I believe ignore mob caps. It might just be that they're in their own group and therefore they have a different mob cap than what's applied to creepers/etc, but I think it's just that they ignore them.
Just noting that cats (including ocelots in Bedrock) won't prevent phantoms from spawning, but the phantoms won't attack you if a cat is within 16 blocks of you.
Also noting that I have had phantoms spawn while standing under a glass block.
No idea why you aren't getting phantoms, but you aren't alone. I intermittently have the same issue. Persist! :- (
The spawn issue seems random such that sometimes phantoms fail to spawn and other times they come in swarms bigger than expected for the number of nights you were up. This might be a feature, not a bug.

Please help me out.
The pic is night 6 me waiting for them to spawn.

As far as I know I have checked off all 4 requirements, it's frustrating because I don't want to cheat for the membrame.
Watch the picture, what is wrong?

Good luck!
Just testing.

Try to stay awake even longer, if it doesn't work, then watch some video training on spawn phantoms.
Well, if I remember, I have to stay up for 3 days.
Original pic looks good, but can't see if light blocking block above head or nearby cat.
I've hunted MobB after 10 hrs (30 MC days) without resetting insomnia and still gone entire nights without spawning any — rare, but it happens.
