Netherite Octoarachnopod (The Netherite Spider)

A lone, procedurally-animated spider hunts you across the world... towering over the trees, charging in at breakneck speed... and yes, its THAT spider. The one from the YouTube videos. A mod port of the spider @Cymaera (@TheCymaera/@heledron) created.

What's new

v1.8.6: three community-requested changes, on all seven builds

  • Creative-friendly: like vanilla mobs, it no longer hunts players in creative or spectator mode. It just wanders, and the hunter won't blind you or freeze when you look at it. Switch back to survival and the hunt is on again
  • Your tamed spider fights for you: in creative, punch any mob and the spider you tamed goes after it like a wolf, then comes back to you. It only takes orders from its owner, never attacks players, and ignores punches while you're riding it
  • It can't get lost in the Nether: out of range, or stranded on the bedrock roof, the same spider (same variant and health, still enraged or tamed) teleports near you. It never counts as a kill or a fresh spawn

No config changes: still 76 settings, and existing config files work as they are.
