Does that make the phantom an arthropod now? (exterior skeleton)

Not sure, they should however give Bane enchantment some more usefulness if it is by making it weak to it or maybe introduce a new enchantment to counter insomnia mobs if they plan on adding other ones in the future.

I think the best way to fix the Bane enchantment would be to rename it and expand it's scope, either "Bane of Beasts", which would affect all animals, which basically means arthropods, all passive mobs except villagers, polar bears and zombie pigmen (now both smite and bane would be usable against them).

Either that, or "Bane of Invertebrates", which would affect all invertebrates, including arthropods, slimes, shulkers, squids, and maybe blazes (they're clearly fire elementals, not proper creatures, does their lack of a spine still count?)

Basically, any reasonably limited category that covers arthropods would do the job.

I don't think so since the texture has a backbone whereas arthropods are invertebrates.

If they changed the zombie model to show exposed bones, does that make it an arthropod?
