Arachnophobia is a Minecraft mod that prevents spiders and cave spiders from spawning in-game.
Arachnophobia was originally made because I suffer from arachnophobia and could not such finctionality on the latest version of the game, but this mod is for anyone who would like to use it for any reason.
Arachnophobia completely prevents the spider and cave-spider entities from spawning into your Minecraft world.
It also makes string craftable with wool and makes zombies occasionally drop spider-eyes. More extensive changelogs for each version of the mod can be found in each release's description.
Arachnophobia does not do any of the following:
- It does not prevent spider and cave-spider spawner blocks from generating;
- It does not remove any existing spider or cave-spider entities from the world;
- It does not remove any spider and cave-spider related items from the game (string, spider-eye, spider and cave-spider spawn eggs [1], and anything that is crafted using them).
[1] spider and cave-spider spawn eggs still exist as items in the game, but will not be able to spawn spiders or cave-spiders, respectively.
