This article is about the Spiderling added in this mod. For the adult spider, see Spider. For the cave spider, see Cave Spider.
Spiderlings, also known as "Spiderlings", are smaller variants of spiders that behave similarly to vanilla spiders. They are neutral mobs that only attack in dark areas or when provoked, following traditional spider behavior patterns.
Spawning
Spiderlings have a 3% chance to spawn riding on top of an adult Spider, creating a spider jockey variant. When part of a spider jockey, the spiderling provides additional mobility and attack capabilities to the adult spider.
Spiderlings can also spawn naturally in dark areas with the same conditions as regular spiders, though they are less common than their adult counterparts.
Behavior
Like vanilla spiders, spiderlings are neutral when the light level is 12 or higher, only attacking if provoked. In light levels of 11 or lower, they become hostile and will attack players on sight.
Spiderlings use traditional spider AI behavior patterns:
- Wall Climbing: Can climb up walls and other vertical surfaces
- Jump Attacks: Leap at targets when attacking
- Neutral Behavior: Only aggressive in dark environments
Combat
Spiderlings rely entirely on melee attacks, unlike their adult counterparts. They will approach targets directly and attack with bites.
- Attack Damage: Standard spider bite damage
- Attack Range: Melee range only
- Movement: Faster than adult spiders
- Climbing: Maintains wall-climbing abilities
