Brown Spider
Can someone please add a pic of a brown spider?


 * As far as I'm aware, they don't exist anymore, what's the point? at 20:53, 10 November 2010 (CST)


 * So what gears don't exist any more and it has a page.


 * That's completely different, the code for gears is still in the game and so are the sprites. The brown spider's skin was replaced with the current one. We don't really need a complete history of every time the skin changed with a picture (Although the same could be said for the diamond/gold/iron blocks). Saying what it used to look like is good enough. at 04:43, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Many people want the brown spider back therefore thay could me a future mob.


 * You're the first person I've seen who's even mentioned it since it was changed. It's just a skin, if anything Notch will just set spiders to randomly pick a skin on spawn, then the skin can be added. at 05:02, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * If it doesn't currently exist in any form, then don't add it. --Fishrock123 23:08, 10 November 2010 (CST)


 * I dont see what would be wrong with adding a picture of it anyway. It was beta spider, its notable in the spider history.Toadbert


 * Does any one even have a pic of one


 * notch blog has a pic. and notch made a video of them.Toadbert


 * The original spider image still has the old spider in its history. I can always restore it if it's really needed. at 03:28, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Its not really needed, but this is a wiki. its supposed to have complete information about a subject, past and present.Toadbert


 * My thoughts exactly.
 * Describing it works just fine. It looks exactly the same, just brown. The gold blocks are different because it would be more difficult to describe accurately. --Abcxyq 11:17, 21 December 2010 (CST)

Spider web
What the, i found a spider wed from minecraft's terrain image! Is that going to be added to the game later? Or why it is in there? --NEG4tive 08:12, 13 November 2010 (CST)


 * When spiders were first added, Notch had an idea that they could produce web blocks. As far as we know, all he ever did was create that texture, then scrapped the idea.Toadbert

Spider killing
Is ther a limit on how far a spider can sink under water?
 * I thought NPCs continually jumped to the water surface when swimming. 08:43, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Water currents. at 09:15, 22 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes with water currents and what I found is that at least in my harvester thay can only sink 3 blocks. Is that true or is it just my trap.

Climbing Walls?
Is there confirmation on this? Any notes on how it works? Will they randomly climb, or only if their pathing takes them to you? Can they climb the bottom of tiles? Alik 21:29, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Confirmed that spiders climb randomly during their normal movements when they reach a wall or step up, and they will also climb walls to get to the player at night. It *seems* like they can't climb on the bottoms of tiles, but haven't confirmed that part yet.  Blocks they can definitely climb: dirt, cobblestone, cacti Djes 16:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's pretty much confirmed by me and my friends that Spiders cannot climb ceilings. If you build a fort with a lip around the edge, the Spiders cannot get to you. Shay 16:49, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
