Trivia

  • The Cave Spider had two names before its cave name. One was Tree Spider and the other was Blue Spider.
  • The Cave Spider can fit under half blocks (i.e. slabs). This makes the building of Cave Spider farms extremely hard.
  • They can climb over fences, making Cave Spider farming even harder.

Trivia

  • The cave spider`s texture appears to be at a higher-resolution than its normal counterpart - this is because the textures occupy a smaller space.
  • Despite being smaller, they have the same size shadow as a normal spider.
  • If cave spiders are allowed to spawn naturally via hacks, they will only spawn if the light level is 7 or below (like most other hostile mobs).

    Poison

    A special attack that the cave spider possesses is the ability to poison players. Although the poison does not affect the player`s armor, it also won`t kill the player. Instead, it will reduce the players health to half a heart. The poison, curable with milk, occurs on every attack except in easy.

    Combat

    Depending on the game-mode and state of the player, several strategies can be used to handle aggressive Cave Spiders. The simplest and least-costly way is to use water to destroy cobwebs and push the spiders away from the exit of the spawner`s location. Another simple option includes setting the cobwebs on fire or using lava (lava being the most dangerous). As cave spiders are found in abandoned mineshafts, the player can easily go to an above layer and destroy the spawner without being harmed. Placing Torches near the spawner to make the Cave Spiders spawn further away will assist in destroying it.

    In Easy Mode, Cave Spiders are best handled with melee attacks as they are the weakest hostile mob healthwise, and they deal little damage with no poisoning. In medium and higher, ranged is optional, but is not suggested during a swarm of cave spiders. Swarms are best handled without direct interaction (most basically with fire). Destroying the spawner or deactivating it is the most important task. It is suggested to be dealt with first if a player has resources capable of protecting them from the poison or swarming spiders. Ranged combat is the most dangerous as it can only focus on a single target and Cave Spiders often come in groups. It is especially not advised in multiplayer due to a mineshaft`s restrictive passages.
