Minecraft cave spider: poison, mineshafts and sulfur caves
The cave spider is a smaller, bluish, venomous variant of the spider. For years it only came from mineshaft spawners, surrounded by cobwebs at light level 0, but it now also spawns naturally in sulfur caves, where it replaces every regular spider. In trial chambers, each spawner has a 25% chance of using it as the small melee mob.
What makes it dangerous is the poison. On Normal, each bite poisons you for 7 seconds and takes 6 health, and on Hard it lasts 15 seconds and takes 12. Poison cannot kill you, since it stops at half a heart, but it leaves you very exposed to any other hit. Carrying milk helps.
Otherwise it behaves like a spider. It is neutral at light level 12 or above but hostile in the dark, and once angry, light no longer calms it. It attacks by leaping and biting, ignores cobwebs and poison, and is scared of armadillos. Its size lets it fit through gaps one block wide and half a block tall, so blocking a corridor with slabs is not enough.
1% spawn with a skeleton on top, a cave spider jockey that fits through smaller spaces than the regular kind. As an arthropod, it takes extra damage from Bane of Arthropods. On death it gives 5 experience and can drop string and spider eyes.
