Cave Spider

Cave Spiders are neutral mobs that were added in Update 0.11.0. They inflict damage on the player with Poison while attacking.

Spawning
Cave spiders spawn naturally in Abandoned Mineshafts via Monster Spawners or by using spawn eggs in Creative Mode.

Combat
Combat against cave spiders is difficult, since they poison the player while attacking them. However, Cave Spiders will not poison the player if the difficulty is set to Easy.

They can be defeated easily by using a high tier sword such as a Diamond Sword or an Iron Sword.

Remedy
Milk can be used to reverse the effects of poison.
