Tamable Spiders
Tamable Spiders makes spiders tameable in Minecraft Java Edition, so a tamed spider can guard a player and fight nearby hostile mobs.
What it does
Tamable Spiders is a Mobs mod with a Utility side. Its Mixins change the base spider mob, and the changes also reach its sub-variants. A tamed spider patrols and defends its owner, and a new Web Path block lays a web-like floor that slows mobs and creates an aggro zone. A player who breaks a Web Path without shears triggers aggro in every connected path, and spiders within 32 blocks react. Spiders ignore fall damage while standing on a Web Path.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked. It runs on Client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, with 2.0.8 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge file and 3.0.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge file. The mod does not depend on any other mod.
