Black String
by SafeMetal
Black String adds a new string item for Black String players to craft and a poisonous spider fang that feeds a new weapon, both tied to the spiders of the Mobs category.
What it does
The mod adds a Black String item that uses the normal string recipes and drops from jungle spiders. Normal spiders now spawn in three types, and the jungle spider variant appears only in jungles. Poisonous spider fangs are a second new drop, and they are used to craft the Fang Blade, a new weapon whose hits inflict weakness 1 and poison for 2.5 seconds on enemies. Black String boots are also added, and wearing them grants speed 2.
The recipes shift as well: the string nametag recipe is replaced with a version using two papers, an iron ingot and string, and the recipe leads change in several places. The mod is an add-on for Forge 1.20.1, with Black String at version 1.4.0, released on 2025-10-20. The server and every player need the mod installed. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
