Better With Arachnophobia
Every spider in BTA is now a real cat. Flat photograph. Meows at you. Screams when you hit it. Follows you with its eyes no matter where you stand.
I did not invent this. Coffee Stain did it in Satisfactory. I copied their homework and they kindly said go ahead.
There are three cats for now. They rotate to face the camera properly (took embarrassingly long to figure out, no cross-planes here). The black one is judging you. The ginger one is planning something.
Full sound overhaul: meowing, hurt screams, death screams, walking sounds. Toggle in Options if you ever want the arachnids back, though at that point why.
Requirements: BTA 8.0.1 · HalpLibe 6.1.4 · Fabric Loader 0.18.4-bta.11 · Java 17
Warning: prolonged eye contact with cats is not recommended.
