Bane of Arthropods Buff

Creepers are now considered arthropods. Seeing how Creepers are completely unique to Minecraft, they can really be classified as any type of mob. Smite already encompasses a large amount of mobs, which makes it a fairly reasonable enchantment to place on sword, but Bane of Arthropods is, for the most part, useless. Classifying Creepers as arthropods gives the enchantment slightly more use (enough that it may actually be utilized by player).

Yes, I am aware that the Creeper was imagined as a mob "being made out of leaves or similar", but its not like the Creeper's "form" cannot be changed.

New List of Arthropods:

- Spiders

- Cave Spiders

- Silverfish

- Endermites

- Bees

- Creepers

Also, maybe the Spider's health should be raised to 20 health points (10 hearts) as well. They're stupidly weak in their current form, so this wouldn't make them overpowered at all.

    Spiders are weak because they are fast. Bane of Arthropoda is a lower level enchantment. Using it to deal more damage to creepers seems to make them somewhat obsolete.

    Would be great that this enchantment could work on both the Creeper and the Endermen. Just remove bees from the list and i would rename it as "Bane of Aberrations". That way, this enchantment would no longer be worthless.

    Perhaps phantoms could be moved from undead to aberrations as well.
