Confirmation of Blue Spiders
He said blue spiders are smaller than normal spiders, which means blue spiders do exist. Cool12309(T 06:41, 1 September 2011 (UTC)


 * ''Moved rest of this portion to Archive, please only discuss this on the Evidence Archive to avoid another huge war that blocks out any actual discussion on Blue Spiders. The only reason I left this part up is so people can see it and not instantly argue back about not having enough evidence.

n/a
I didn't remove the link, I moved it to a reference. Cool12309(T 04:02, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I know. I said that later. Thanks for helping me get this page running. Know how to get it onto the mobs reference bar?

Merge?
Shouldn't this thread be merged with Spider, kinda like the electrocreeper? At least, when it comes out.


 * no, because unlike the charged creepers the blue spider isnt a form of the spider, they are different mobs, spiders dont turn into blue spiders.--Higbey 14:33, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Blue Spider Jockeys?
Question: Does anyone think that there will be a Blue Spider Jockey? If so, then please tell me. (PS Just for fun, Blue Spider Endermen Jockeys? ULTIMATE FAIL/WIN.) --From Moi, Ajc_1254 00:25, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, this talk page is big enough even without the speculation. If you would like to discuss things like this, use the forums --HexZyle 02:52, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * A hybrid of a monster that when it hurts you will suffer damage whilst being shot in the face with arrows/teleported rapidly towards? ...I'm sorry, but that is just HARDCORE written all over it. BlockBarracade 01:18, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Delete/Archive War?
Now that Jeb has confirmed blue spiders (well there is still a little skepticism) should we delete/archive the whole "war" part of the page so that we can have actual discussions about the blue spider? Also, since the page is giving the size warning. Shockman25 01:11, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool12309(T 01:43, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * In that case, Archived I only kept the "Confirmed" portion on so that people can see Jeb's post before starting another argument. Shockman25 02:21, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * EDIT: I added a note at the top of the page to make sure people don't flood this page with arguments just like last time. Shockman25 02:33, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * After 1.8 comes out, I'll move that section to the Evidence page. Cool12309(T 02:40, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

david/x's idea
Just a random question but didnt youtuber 'x' suggest these when people asked why he stopped playing minecraft in case people are being fooled by lighting anyone that read his post would remember he suggested blue posion spiders appearing in abandoned mineshafts underground might think they are blue when they really arent? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Desacobose (Talk .

A letsplayer on youtube known as x or david once made a large blog post on what he wanted to see in minecraft in that post he mentions he wanted blue venomous spiders that spawned underground in mineshafts to be added to the game assuming they arent real someone could be using this as a hoax,if they are real people might be remembering this and along with the lighting in the supposed video people might be mistaking the spider for blue I. would suggest changing the name to something more to what it does like venomous spider I am not saying I think Notch stole his idea I'm just saying the name should be changed. Desacobose 18:36, 3 September 2011 (UTC)


 * @Jeb_ replied "Yes" to if blue spiders were smaller. (http://twitter.com/jeb_/status/109093046452367360) I would assume he would've said they weren't blue spiders if they were anything else. -- { Fishrock123 } (Talk) 19:46, 3 September 2011 (UTC)Th

Oh i hadn't noticed that post as i mainly check Notch's posts when something intresting comes outDesacobose 07:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Merge into Spiders
I am proposing a merge into the page spiders. remember to use: , or. as well as.

so, I'll start. . I think this page should be merged into spiders. aside from poisoning ability, size and colour, it is identical. do we need a whole second page for what is a slightly modified spider that can poison? --Kizzycocoa 18:21, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * First of all, discussion doesn't include voting, so please don't encourage voting. I disagree with the merge, it's way too early to say this should be merged because there isn't enough information to have it's own page. You can't say this is "identical" and then list 3 ways that it's different. Let's let 1.8 get released and see exactly what this mob is before we start discussing merging the page. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  19:36, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * All you have to do is add around that "disagree" and you would be voting as well :P --HexZyle 02:10, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * . There may be more info released on how much different it is to a regular spider. Just how electrocreepers are barely different from normal creepers so they are on the same page, but giants and spider jockeys are vastly different from their regular counterparts. --HexZyle 20:01, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * And skeletons are identical to zombies aside from their appearance and ability to shoot arrows. :P  They're a seperate mob, they really deserve a seperate page.  I mean, heck, Spider Jockeys are literally a Skeleton riding a Spider - no difference from the normal mobs (to the point that it fights itself if the skeleton hits the spider) aside from being a "combo" mob - and that has its own page.  Besides, 1.8 isn't out yet, the art used at PAX could have been temporary or something.  They may end up looking completely different from normal Spiders at release, who knows... --Warlock 20:16, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
 * There's no reason at all to merge this page. Like Wynthyst said, you can't say it's identical and then list 3 ways they are the same. The electrocreeper, tame/hostile wolves and neutral/hostile spiders are on the same pages because they're different states of the same mob, which this doesn't seem to be. The BS has its own spawner, spawns in its own area, has a unique size, abilities, texture, and probably health, damage and a unique reward(such as venom sacs) will probably be added. The BS will never transform into a regular spider, nor vice-versa. It'll most likely be a more powerful spider that drops something unique, the aforementioned poison sacs seem accurate here, for a reward. It's like why the Spider Jockey isn't merged with the skeleton. The skeleton doesn't just climb onto the spider(but if it did, that would be very cool). MyCraftDev
 * The blue spider is a different mob to the brown spider, the only real similarity is the model is the same. It doesn't change from one to the other so shouldn't be on the same page. Fummy

Cure for poison?
i think there should be some kind of cure for the blue spider venom WolfDog98 12:45, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Someone suggested milk on Jeb's twitter, and Jeb said it was a good idea. Shockman25 14:47, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Temporary face pics?
I was wondering, since there is no official pics for the blue spider yet, if we could use these pics? I Am David Minecraft 23:21, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Speculation, but I guess it will work for 3 days. Cool12309(T 23:27, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll work on this. EDIT: Done. Shockman25 23:57, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I've (and, doubtless, a million other people) asked him; maybe he'll confirm it for us. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:20, 6 September 2011 (UTC)


 * This is the first available naming by a Mojang employee, so the article needs to be renamed. - DarkAuk 22:41, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * With the update possibly only 24 hours away, we can check it ourselves when it comes out and save needless renames --HexZyle 01:11, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
