About the mod

Cave Spider Spawn adds a chance for cave spiders to spawn naturally in place of a normal spider. By default they have a 15% chance to spawn and only below the surface, though this can be changed in the config. Adds a bit more difficulty to the game, due to cave spiders being able to poison players and they're harder to hit.

It's also possible to make cave spiders only spawn below a certain Y level. For example below y=0, which is where deepslate is. This is disabled by default, and can be toggled in the config.
