Spiders Produce Webs (Legacy Fabric)

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.17. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.17–1.17.1Newest
Minecraft 1.16.5
Minecraft 1.16–1.16.4

⬇ Download for 1.17–1.17.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5 ⬇ Download for 1.16–1.16.4

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Requires the library mod Collective (Fabric) and the Fabric API.

This mod is part of The Vanilla Experience.
Spiders Produce Webs is a minimalistic configurable mod which makes spiders and cave spiders periodically produce a web when a player is close. Webs can only be produced if the spider is on an air block.

Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
maxDistanceToSpiderBlocks (default = 32, min 1, max 256): The maximum distance in blocks the player can be away from a spider in order for the it to produce a web periodically.
spiderWebProduceDelayTicks (default = 12000, min 1, max 72000): The delay in between spiders producing a web in ticks (1 second = 20 ticks).

The effect in action with the delay set to 40 ticks (that's normally way too quick imo):

The feature was originally planned by Notch on October 23rd 2009, but never implemented:
