Deep Cave Spiders

For PaperMC 1.18.1+.

Build Status

Today in "Plugins Nobody Asked For", I am proud to introduce "Deep Cave Spiders", a mechanics plugin which causes cave spiders to spawn deep underground!

Why? Just… why?

Ask yourself: When was the last time you really felt like you had to prepare before delving deep under the surface? When did you last feel that doing so was actually dangerous?

This plugin lets you have a small taste of that as you dig deeper into your world. Was that spider you heard just a spider… or could it be a cave spider jockey? Am I about to get poisoned?

Caving has rarely been so toxic!

Features

  • Naturally-spawned cave spiders: Sometimes when a spider spawns between the configured minY and maxY range, it will be replaced by a cave spider! The chances of this can be adjusted per-world-difficulty in the configuration file using the spawnChances section!
  • Baby zombie jockeys: On Hard difficulty, there is a chance that naturally and egg spawned cave spiders can spawn ridden by a baby zombie! The chance of this is configurable using jockeyChances in the configuration file.
  • Configurable range: Minimum and maximum Y values can be set to limit the range in which cave spiders will spawn!
  • Configurable biomes: Choose what biomes cave spiders are allowed to spawn in!
  • Configurable environments: If you have a way to spawn spiders naturally in the end or nether, you can configure int what environments cave spiders can replace natural spiders as well!

Tweak to your heart's content with in-depth configuration options, from spawn ranges to spawn chances, jockey chances, biome switches, and environments!

Does the plugin support /reload?

Unfortunately, since the use of the /reload command is inadvisable, the plugin's functionality after a server reload is undocumented and untested.

Instead, please use the /deepcavespiders reload command to reload and reapply configuration.

Commands

The following commands are provided by this plugin:

/deepcavespiders – Used to print information about the plugin. The "reload" subcommand can be used to reload the plugin's configuration files.

Permissions

The following permissions are provided by this plugin:

deepcavespiders.admin – Allows a user or group to use the /deepcavespiders reload subcommand and reload the plugin's configuration files.
