Give Spiders a Climbing Animation (edited)

This has been a classic part of the game forever now, but it still looks so weird.  With some recent new mobs and their more sophisticated animations/modeling (i.e. foxes, pandas, dolphins, etc.), this might not be aging so well.  Are Minecraft spiders really supposed to be able to climb blocks with just their two front legs, while parallel to the ground?

Just sayin'.

    Assuming this is feasible to code in, I'd support this change. You didn't specify, but I assume you'd like to see spiders climb vertical walls at a 90º angle, instead of the flat 180º we see currently?

    I think it would be great, and I think that if they could also climb on ceilings and use webs to get off of ceilings safely, it would be cool

    @Skyler Winer the last thing we want though is for spiders to get past those overhangs players purposefully build on their walls.

    Climbing walls? Yes! 

    Climbing the ceiling? No! Have you seen how fat those spiders are?

    Didn't like. I think this way spiders have to climb is kind of an essence of the game.

    To make the transition look more smooth, they could make it so the Spider jumps on the wall, and rotates mid-jump instead of walking towards it and rotating 90 degrees instantly

    YES! Can’t believe I never thought of this! The ceiling idea is a no, though. Sorry.

    If they can make the Dinnerbone name tag flip things upside down, then surely they can make spiders flip to match the surface they're walking on. Voted.

    Would be freeky spidey cool ^^

    But without modifying their climbing ability, I mean only 90°, not on celling.

    @Mc Rat : good point. The spider would try to climb only if there is at least 2 or 3 block high and large, excluding glass and such block where they couldn't grip.

    Great Idea. What about spiders 'placing' cobwebs while they are climbing at a wall?

    Yeah it kinda makes sense that they should climb like that.

    Love this. Also, the spiders climbing ceilings area should be posted under the category of Mobs, Animals, and non-Humanoids rather than commented under here.

    This would be great! When climbing they look like they are flying or floating.

    This makes perfect sense but I do like the way the spiders climb the walls so derpy like.

    I think they should rotate 45ish degrees, and have their legs facing the blocks, 90 Degrees seems like an extreme turn, and the 45 degree rotation keeps with the original motif of spiders just escalating up walls

    That'd be a good solution, if they can't implement a smooth transition to 90-degrees

    Yeah, kinda surprising they haven't implemented this yet, it doesn't make any sense the way they do it now

    This is a great idea and your right they gave animations for pandas and ect. So the spiders should actually climb not faceplant and fly to the top of a wall
