Cave Spider

Cave spiders are small variants of the spider that inflict Poison with their attacks. They are exclusively spawned by monster spawners found in mineshafts.
== Spawning ==
Cave spiders spawn from monster spawners in mineshafts at a light level of 0. These monster spawners are surrounded by cobwebs in corridors of mineshafts.
== Drops ==
When killed, a cave spider drops:
* 0–2 . The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 string with Looting III.
* when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
*They also have a chance of dropping a when killed by a player or tamed wolf. The maximum amount of spider eyes is increased by 1 per level of Looting. The chance of a cave spider not dropping any spider eyes can be found using the formula 2 / (Looting Level + 3). For example, Looting III gives a chance of not dropping any spider eyes. All other amounts have an equal chance of occurring.
== Behavior ==
Cave spiders inherit their behavior from spiders:
* Neutral if under daylight or in light levels of 9 or above, otherwise they are hostile towards players and iron golems. Once they become hostile, light does not affect them.
* Climb walls when needed.
* Attack by leaping.
* Are unaffected by cobwebs and Poison.
* Can spawn spider jockeys.
They have some distinctions from regular spiders:
* Can fit through a space that is one block wide and block tall.
* Can go through the spaces between two different types of (unconnected) fences.
* Cannot spawn with status effects.
Being arthropods, they are weak against weapons with the Bane of Arthropods enchantment.
