Spider Eye

Spider eye is a poisonous food and brewing item. It is dropped by Spiders, Cave Spiders, and witches. Spider eyes are mainly used to craft fermented spider eyes and brew mundane and poison potions. It can be eaten, but will poison the player for four seconds.

Obtaining
A spider or cave spider may drop a spider eye when killed by the player, not upon death from environmental damage. A witch may drop up to 6 spider eyes upon death of any nature.

Usage
When eaten, a spider eye restores hunger points and 3.2 saturation points, giving a nourishment value of 1.6. It also applies a poison effect lasting 4 seconds to the player, causing of damage.

Even though spider eyes cause poison, if a player is already near its minimum health and needs only a few hunger points to start healing, it can be more handy to use the spider eye rather than actual food. Otherwise, the damage done will cost 12 hunger/saturation points to heal, dwarfing the 5.2 given by eating it.

Trivia
In Xbox 360, the player can eat a normal spider's eye, but due to a glitch of some kind, does not show the option to eat it
