Spiders eyes change color depending on their hostility

Spiders currently always have glowing red eyes. However, spiders aren't always hostile, as they are neutral to the player when in a light level of 12 or higher. In other words, if they're in a bright place when they see you, they won't be aggressive unless you hit them first, or unless they were already chasing you.

So the suggestion is that when they're neutral like this, instead of having glowing red eyes, their eyes will be a non-glowing, more natural color, like black or dull grey or something. Their eyes will turn back to glowing red when they enter darkness or if you anger them.

This will allow a player to tell if it's safe to be around the spider, and also be a nice bit of visual flair.

    I believe this subtle detail could add alot of personalities to spiders, like how the enderman freakout dose for them.
