Taming, Riding and Breeding Spiders

Ever felt jealous of those skeletons, riding those spiders when you couldn't? Now there's a mod that lets you do the same!

This mod adds in tameable and ridable spiders. During the day or in bright enough light, spiders and cave spiders can now be tamed using honey blocks with a 1/2 chance. Once tamed, they will not despawn and will fight your enemies. Cave spiders also inflict some super deadly poison on attack.

If you manage to find a saddle, you can equip either variant of spider with it and ride them. They can jump and move quickly (plus they look pretty cool). They can also be bred if fed honey blocks after taming: this will let you set up a spider farm or just admire those cute little baby spiders.

It doesn't work for me, the spiders do come to me when I have the honey block but I can't feed it to them.

I re-tested it, and it works! Turns out, it doesn't work in creative 🤦 my bad!

I found out that it does work in creative but only on daytime not nighttime because of them being untameable when hostile.

Doesn't seem to work anymore. The spider follows me when I have a honey block, but I can't feed it.

Please add a way for the spiders to sit, as soon as I tame them they wander off and I am unable to find them
