Template:Future Template:Mob

The Blue Spider[1] is a hostile mob that is to be introduced in Minecraft Beta 1.8.[1] It is a spider with a blue retextured skin and is presumably more dangerous than the regular spider. Blue spiders are much more rare than regular spiders. When bitten by a blue spider, your health bar turns yellow and gradually decreases. Blue spiders can only be found in Abandoned Mine Shafts, which will also be introduced in Beta 1.8. Blue Spiders are also smaller than regular spiders[1][2]; presumably so that they can fit through the mine shafts that they spawn in. When a blue spider poisons a player, their health hearts will turn a yellowish color.[3]


Trivia

  • It was originally going to be called a tree spider according to Jeb, but that wouldn't make any sense due to it spawning in mine shafts.[4]
  • In the Beta 1.8 preview, a Blue Spider was called a "poison spider"[5], but "venomous spider" would be a more grammatically correct name.
  • A possible cure for the spider venom could be milk, as tweeted by Jeb when someone suggested.[6]
