They are smaller compared to regular spiders and are dark blue in color. Their different texture makes it easy to differentiate between the two. Since they are smaller, they can fit through 0.5 x 1 hole (Half block holes), which makes them superior to regular spiders.

How do Cave spiders behave The Cave spider inherits a lot of its behavior from normal spiders. They are neutral in well-lit environments with a light level of 9 or higher. They can climb walls and squeeze through holes as small as half a block. They are resistant to poison and unaffected by cobwebs. As they are arthropods, they are weak against weapons with the Bane of arthropods. Encountering Cave spiders The best and most efficient way to fight Cave spiders in a cave is to use water. Water will push them and keep them at distance, as well as break any cobwebs impeding your movements. Once the cobwebs are taken care of, you can resort to melee attacks to take care of the Cave spiders. If surrounded by a swarm, use water to push them back as they can poison you when they deal damage.

This capability is unique to the Cave spider but will only be in effect if the game difficulty is at normal or above. If you encounter a Cave spider spawner, the best thing to do is to place some torches on it so that the spiders stop spawning, making it easier to destroy the ones left. Making sure that you find and destroy the spawner is of utmost importance, as Cave spiders are quite dangerous, especially in tight and constricted caves and mineshafts. 1 heart of health left after being affected by the poison (Via screenshots) Drops Upon death, a cave spider will drop the following items -5 experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf0-2 string.
