Cave Spider

For how this works in unmodified Minecraft, see Cave Spider on the Minecraft Wiki.

Cave Spider

Type	Hostile mob
Health points	Easy: 2 ( × 1) Normal: 4 ( × 2) Hard: 6 ( × 3)
Speed	Easy: 0.35 Normal: 0.4 Hard: 0.42
Spawn	Mineshaft spawners, abbeys
Drops	String, spider eye

A cave spider in Matcha Flavoured is very fast but very fragile, with as little as 1 heart of health.

Spawning

Cave spiders appear from spawners as in vanilla, and from spawners in abbeys. Abbey cave spiders drop nothing. Like other non-undead mobs, a cave spider that appears in the Overworld where it can see the sky is removed.

Drops

Loot table minecraft:entities/cave_spider (source); pools roll 1 time(s). Overrides the vanilla table.

Item	Stack size	Chance per roll	Chance per table	Notes
String	0–2	66.7%	66.7%
Spider Eye	-1–1	33.3%	33.3%	player kill

The drops are as in vanilla, except for cave spiders from the pack's spawners, which drop nothing. Mineshaft spawners are generated by vanilla code and don't tag their mobs, so mineshaft cave spiders drop normally.

Difficulty

Attribute	Easy	Normal	Hard
Max health	2 ( × 1)	4 ( × 2)	6 ( × 3)
Movement speed	0.35	0.4	0.42

History

0.4-alpha	Cave spiders are fast, but only have 2 hearts.
1.10	Health and speed depend on difficulty.

Trivia

• From the design video: "cave spiders only two hearts. But, I I also made them very fast, so they're pretty nasty now." Only Normal still uses 2 hearts.
