Accessibility request – Arachnophobia mode

Hello, I am a Minecraft player on console (PS5, Bedrock Edition) and I would like to submit an accessibility request. I suffer from arachnophobia, and the presence of spiders and cave spiders makes the game very stressful and difficult to enjoy, despite my love for Minecraft. On console, players cannot install mods or custom resource packs, which greatly limits accessibility options. Would it be possible to add an accessibility option to: • disable spiders, • replace them with another mob, • or simplify their appearance (non-realistic model)? Many modern games include arachnophobia modes, and this feature would greatly improve inclusivity for console players. Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve Minecraft. Kind regards.

    I used to have the very same problem: I could not play survive mode for longer than a few seconds until I decided that I would be jump scared by a spider that was never there in the first place

    Okay, but it better just be a toggle option that's off by default, because I don't want Mojang to get the idea to make spiders permanently nice looking or removed or something.

    While you're waiting for it, it's probably possible via a resource pack in Bedrock Edition, because mob models there can be changed with resource packs.
