How about a spider replacement mod?

[seebs]

Simple thought: Seems to me that arachnophobes are having a lot of trouble with this.

How hard would it be to make, say, pudgy goblins with poisoned daggers, or something similar, as a drop-in replacement?

Lets think of it like this, you have to create a new model that fits with the world, then you have to make animations, followed by making the textures match appropiately to the new model.

Overall, it wouldn't be worth it. What I don't get is why Arachnophobes don't get a kick out of killing the spider, since their defeating their fear literally.

It could be done, but currently its physically impossible to do this.

It should be possible to replace the spiders with an existing mob.

I would have thought it would be posible, I've been thinking about what ideas people will come up with.
I just wish I could code my ideas and make them work ^^;

It is possible, just tricky without the modding tools,

This has already been done though but the solution is quite complex, so if you prefer a simpler solution, it may be best to wait for the official modding support.

Here's the thread with the current mod,
