Spiders- Basic Info - Spiders are arguably the most annoying monsters in the Overworld. They have an API similar to zombies, going towards the target, ignoring all blocks. However, they can climb up smooth cliff and structure faces, making up for their ignorance of blocks. Unlike both Skeletons and Zombies, they do not burn in sunlight. Their basic attack is repeatedly jumping on a player, dealing less damage than a zombie. A spider's appearance is an arthropod with 6 eyes.

- How To Defeat - Spider's main attack involves them jumping on their target, so the best tactic for fighting them is a long-range bow attack. However, if fighting spiders with a sword, strike at the spider before they manage to reach you. They have lower health than most hostile mobs, so it takes less hits to defeat one of them. They always try to float on water, so if you go underwater it makes it easy to strike them from the bottom.

- Health and Attacks- Spiders' have a health of 8 hearts (16), and no armor points. Spiders' attacks are: 1 heart (Easy), 1 heart (Normal), and 1 1/2 heart (Hard).

- Rare Drops - None

- Danger Level - 6 out of 10

You might want to add that you can easily defeat spiders from below as the cannot fit down a 1 by 1 hole. The same idea works in deep water, as they constantly try to float. Making it easy to stab them from the bottom.

The issue is that some crafters would not be able to figure that out. My idea was to make a guide that all crafters can understand. Also I do have the water tactic in the chapter.

Sorry about missing the water tactic the first time I read this through. But I think it is wise to give people full information. I find it slightly rude that you believe some people can't handle a bit of advanced strategy. I thought that monster fighting tactics was the whole idea here.

I'm sorry if you think I was rude. I would still prefer not to put those in, however.
