Pet spiders

Spiders should be tameable and ridable like horses.

Because they have good hp and damage and they can also climb walls.

To tame a spider you need to wait for day and search for a spider and feed it any type of meat and you would need a saddle to ride it.

This would be useful for making maps and there aren't a lot of pets that you can ride in minecraft so why not and it would be a cool pet maybe it should also have it's own armor.

It would be a good pet for players that want a pet that can be mounted and that can attack.

    Also I don't think a player can ride on a Spider. The only reason a Skeleton can is because it lacks the muscle and only has bones. I'm sorry but for these reasons I cannot support this. I wish you the best of luck.

    I think ride-able just doesn't work well with the direction Minecraft is going. 

     

    However, I absolutely love the idea of tameable spiders.  Spiders are kept as pets in many parts of the world.  :)  Be nice to have one in Minecraft.

    I don't know about riding, but I like the idea of being able to tame a spider.

    I think that the idea of a pet spider would be nice, but because it is a hostile mob, some people would suggest other hostile mobs to get tamable too. But I wouldn’t like riding the spider on a wall or riding it at all.

    I would love the ability to actually tame a spider. Making it ridable would be cool but i can take or leave that (elytra with unbreaking 3 and firworks are the only way to travel) i actually do kinda keep a pet spider by my house already, so it'd be great if i could make it friendly

    This page shows up when you voice search how to ride a spider in minecraft. The Google voice lady even reads the suggested steps out loud. Now my 6yr old is crying because this feedback system is too well SEO optimized.

    Spider as a pet would be cool but they should stay neutral and you should make a boat. They shouldn't be rideable because that to cure because Spiders are base on real life.

    Man, I've been fighting spiders with potion effects, and I was thinking, "It would be cool to breed spiders, or tame them." It just sounds like a good idea. They could be bred during the day, or in bright areas. Spiders that you breed should probably become passive over a span of three (in-game) days. All offspring should be fully passive and tamable, and once grown, rideable. [Initial Idea]

    However, tamed spiders may become more useful than tamed horses. Spiders can climb walls, attack enemies, and spawn in with passive potion effects, allowing for selective breeding for far better enhanced spiders. These all culminate into reasons horses and possibly dogs may become obsolete. Spiders are extremely common, and easily farmable. Taming spiders may make two mobs redundant, and make an extremely overpowered passive mob. [Cons]

    So, this means the spiders riding/loyalty may need to be gimmicky. Maybe during the night (or reverse) they attack or kick you off, and maybe require meat to keep them passive. Perhaps you need something to remind you that they are still a hostile mob, even if leashed. Just trying to brain storm the idea, and possible flaws. [Possible Fixes]

    I always am in favor of interesting ways to have magic and potion things in minecraft. Maybe a potion being required for spider taming would be cool. I am uncertain of riding, but having a spider follow you similar to a wolf would be cool. I would love to have cave spiders following me, would be really cool.

    Please no spider jockeys, that would ruin this game and give it a cheesy fake kind of vibe imo. The polar bear and the beast thing is one thing but you have to keep it in the realm of believability even for fantasy.

    imagine if you could only ride spiders during the day because their hostile at night and in low light levels
