arachnophobia mode for wynncraft

[dapper saffron]

im playing wynncraft with the texture packs that are made for wynncraft and i just cant play the game due to the fact that as soon as i end up in a fight with a spider i panic and quit the game and i cant get myself to play with those spiders running around, my quick fix for the issue is playing with an outdated texture pack that broke the enemy models but its also kinda annoying to see a bunch of floating blocks attacking me

[abstract dust]

Another one

[brisk flax]

there was a similar post like this a while ago but they were a huge troll and very childish, if you're wondering why you got these responses

[abstract dust]

There'll probably be an arachnophobia option at some point but I don't see it happening for a while, sorry

[dapper saffron]

alright

[safe eagle]

But you solved the issue yourself

[brisk flax]

but yea this should be a thing

[abstract dust]

That solution causes more issues

[safe eagle]

Just play with the broken resourcepack until youre out of the nivla forest

[safe eagle]

How?

[abstract dust]

Are there more spiders after that

[safe eagle]

Are you asking or stating

[abstract dust]

Asking

[dapper saffron]

its just a bunch of blocks floating about attacking me

[fallow geyser]

there are spiders all throughout the game

[abstract dust]

Cuz you can't just react to seeing a spider with applying the pack, then turn it off when you're done

If there are spiders basically anywhere it'll still cause someone with arachnophobia to panic unless they play with that pack on all the time

[safe eagle]

Few spider mobs in ToA and Qira, some spider caves in llevigar plains, olux swamp and light forest (but have spider web outside so its not a suprise). And Hero of Gavel quest.

So they arent really "anywhere"

Oh and (corrupted) infested pit guardian

[abstract dust]

Is it just the custom spiders? How do u feel abt regular minecraft spiders

[gusty frigate]

fuckin' uhhhh the entirety of almuj desert

[dapper saffron]

the way the arachnophobia triggers me is that as soon as i see the face i go into a state of panic and just my entire body freezes and i cant do much

[safe eagle]

Shit youre right and i also realized they exist in olux swamp outside the caves too

[dapper saffron]

idk how to explain it well but it takes a lot to be able to move after seeing one

[safe eagle]

How did you get into minecraft lol

[dapper saffron]

because the default spiders dont fall under the same circumstance

its mostly the fact that the face is detailed (which the default minecraft spider isnt) that triggers me

[safe eagle]

Dang

[dapper saffron]

litterally making the face look stupid would help my phobia

as in just like a smiley face

[vital plover]

no balls

[gusty frigate]

lmao, that would be a pretty good compromise, but unfortunately an archnophobia mode would require an entirely separate version of the pack to be worked on to accommodate so it would take quite a bit of time for it to be completed

[dapper saffron]

i mean im perfectly fine with waiting

if it would ever be made that is

[ripe flicker]

Not gonna lie, arachnophobia is real but the fear is beatable. Everyone with serious arachnophobia should talk about it with a psych and get closer to spiders to beat their fear. What better way to do that, than in a game before the real world.

Actaul contact with spiders is infact the main treatment against arachnophobia.

So quit being a beta and go catch a spider. You can do that

(except you live in australia, then by god please do not catch any random spider you find)

[fallow geyser]

L take

accessibility is important

[gusty frigate]

yeah that seems like something someone with a champion rank would write

[safe eagle]

Why did they make the spiders like that in the first place

They obv dont care

[fallow geyser]

maybe someone just wants to play their favorite game in peace instead of going through a panic attack

[gusty frigate]

deusphage is a dangerous sycophant who lives off people's fears

or something

[safe eagle]

Ok but why is their favorite game a spider game

[abstract dust]

Wtf are u yapping abt what's the matter with u 😭

[safe eagle]

Hes literally explaining how it works lol

[abstract dust]

No one asked for that 💀

[ripe flicker]

? Yeah stop crying about it and change your life for the better.

[safe eagle]

Hes giving OP the only solution

[abstract dust]

That's a nonsolution don't confuse it

[ripe flicker]

Imagine living alone one day and you cant even be in the same room as a little spider. Imagine how hard that sucks. Change it

[abstract dust]

There's so much wrong with what you're saying and it's scary how oblivious you are to it 💀

[safe eagle]

It's literally backed up by science and everything

[ripe flicker]

Its my honest opinion. Why would you live with a disability if you can change it?

[dapper saffron]

id still prefer to just be able to sit down and enjoy a game instead of having to go through months of exposure therapy to just play a game

[abstract dust]

You and him are not experts and don't even understand arachnophobia, yet you're pretending to be little scientists

[ripe flicker]

Also that. Go to any doctor or psych and they will tell you the same. The fear is there but it is irrational. Train your brain to beat it

[dapper saffron]

its not a weekend things to just beat

[abstract dust]

And not everyone responds well to therapy either

[ripe flicker]

True, thats prob hard work. But it should be an important step for yourself

[safe eagle]

So commit then

[abstract dust]

That's not something for you to be the judge of is it?

[dapper saffron]

in the situation i live in i got over spiders because they are tiny enough to (somewhat) ignore

[safe eagle]

Everyone that is scared of something need to commit more than 1 week

[dapper saffron]

but seeing those things being half the size of the character triggered me again

[abstract dust]

Obv he's aware of therapy why are you trying to convince him as if you're his friend

[dapper saffron]

i tried therapy, it went horrible

[ripe flicker]

Yeah, talk with a psych for it. Trust me it will get better. There are mental practices you can do and train for it.

[abstract dust]

A lot of people with strong arachnophobia try therapy, and obviously they're pretty much all totally aware of its existence and it's effects

You're not helping by pointing it out and trying to make it seem like the greatest solution

[abstract dust]

And again you're not an expert, and you don't even understand how both the condition and the field of therapy works so you shouldn't be making these judgments

[dapper saffron]

there is a difference between paying a profesional to help me go through months and months of exposure therapy and just changing one file in a game to better suit litterally thousands of people

[ripe flicker]

You are the only one not trying to help him at this point lol. Cringe kid you are. Something like that pisses me off. Go help people and dont make their problems even bigger by ignoring them for your own peace in mind.

[abstract dust]

Telling people to seek therapy for their arachnophobia is not good advice, it's stating the obvious

[gusty frigate]

"cringe kid you are" ah yes, edgelord behavior, my favorite in a thread trying to genuinely address a semi-common issue

[safe eagle]

He is cringe tho

[ripe flicker]

True. But the problem is the extreme arachnophobia you are apparently facing. Thats a problem on your side that you should work on. Im not saying an arachnophobia-mode is a bad idea but the problem should still be fixed by yourself.

[abstract dust]

He just said he already tried it and it went poorly

"Well try again with more therapists ez"

[dapper saffron]

i started with somewhat of a good upperhand to deal with tiny spiders and it ended with me almost sobbing seeing bean sized ones

i can tell you with ease that i dont want to try a therapist for a while at least again

aswell ignoring the fact that getting this proffesional help is close to impossible

[abstract dust]

Being like "seek therapy" skips so many steps and ignores so many issues it's embarrassing, you have no clue what's going on with their lives 💀

I'm yapping this much because he's made this suggestion before to other ppl with arachnophobia btw

[gusty frigate]

fantastic

[abstract dust]

And it's helped just as much too ofc

[ripe flicker]

? Ive not done that before even tho i would have because its common sense.

You are just ignoring problems.

[abstract dust]

It's not your place to tell someone to seek therapy for smth like this, especially when that's not what they asked for

Phobias aren't like other types of problems with clear solutions

You can seek therapy and do the work to get over it, and it may or may not work and might even cause more trauma than you started with

It's not something you can recommend the way you're doing

[rich cape]

i would accept the "seek therapy why are you scared of a cartoon blocky spider" argument if the IP key guardian wasnt this fucking horrifying like jeez i dont have arachnophobia and even i find this dude creepy (spoiler for the people with arachnophobia)

[orchid rapids]

just for u im making a texturepack making every spider a small 1 by 1 orphion

[rich cape]

like, seeing this thing from far away for the first time was genuinely something

[gusty frigate]

that font is downright scarier

[abstract dust]

Holy shit i haven't even seen that yet that's terrifying 💀

[orchid rapids]

i love the new guardian gosh

[gusty frigate]

yeah nivla woods is where your kids get kidnapped

[orchid rapids]

so fucking cool

[rich cape]

yeah the new guardian is awesome but i dont blame anyone for having arachnophobia looking at it

[abstract dust]

It looks so sick but I can see why some w arachnophobia might just close their game 😭

[rich cape]

i like my serif 16x16 fonts thank you very much

[rich cape]

yeah the other spiders in the game are just downright awesome or small and kinda just there, but that one is an eldritch horror

[brisk flax]

what on earth did I just read

someone got flamed for suggesting phobia therapy on the other spider post

are we in a time loop or something

[rich cape]

again as i said i would agree with the "you need to get over this, man, its a fictional videogame" argument but some of the current spiders in the game are actually quite the horror game material

[tame scaffold]

Its a comment made in ignorance so I sort of see why

[ripe flicker]

phobias actually have very clear solution since they belong into the anxiety group. that is by far not a mental illness.

[ripe flicker]

you mean me? is it ignorance if you actually try to help someone?

or is it ignorant to ignore the underlying problem?

[abstract dust]

Bro thinks he's a saint 🙏

[thin cypress]

didn't read the entire thread but basically to solve this issue

• decrypt pack
• pop all the spider models into blockbench
• remove mandibles and give them goofy smiley faces
• repackage pack
• profit

[safe eagle]

Maybe make it an actual spoiler lol

[rich cape]

but it is a spoiler

[safe eagle]

Oh i accidently clicked it i guess

[rich cape]

it shows like a spoiler to me, at least

[safe eagle]

Now i made myself look like a jester! Crap

[abstract dust]

I don't think that's how the pack works cuz of the custom models

Not like I checked tho so maybe that works

[rich cape]

yeah didnt salted say that the models and the info regarding them is server-side or something like that

[ripe flicker]

the server loads it. it still takes data from your minecraft version i believe. its just the server has to call your game what to do every frame of an animation

[gusty frigate]

mob models are significantly different from blockbench/weapon models, literally every cube is a different item from the resource pack database

[paper depot]

This suggestion about 'arachnophobia support' would be such a low priority item on the list of TODO things for Wynncraft that it will probably never make it into the game. The game needs to make money, a change to the models, that as mentioned here will most likely cost more work then is worth. Because at the end of the day, accesibility settings for around ~1% or less for the community makes a whole total of 0$. And it will especially be at the bottom of the list due to the 4k players = 25k player server cost statement that Salted made.

I know that it affects individuals who suffer from Arachnophobia in an incredibly negative way, but the server devs most likely have bigger things to worry about at this current time and for in the future.

[safe eagle]

OP will quit the game within 6 months anyways

[abstract dust]

That's one of the problems tho

[verbal briar]

they made the spellcast icons for colorblind people so accessibility isn't a negative to their profits

[abstract dust]

Only maybe a couple dozen ppl at most can't rly play wynn with arachnophobia so it's still not a big issue

[verbal briar]

same with colorblindness

[safe eagle]

But thats way less effort

[abstract dust]

But handling colorblindness is easy and like no effort 💀

Handling arachnophobia would take a ton of effort

[safe eagle]

With no payoff

[abstract dust]

Well like barely any payoff

[verbal briar]

i think its a silly suggestion but i dont like how wynn is really doing less than the bare minimum on accessibility

[abstract dust]

Wym

[paper depot]

That's because they aren't able to

If Salted mentions server costs i don't even wanna know what else is going on

[verbal briar]

they definitely are able to-- the new sun, wretcheds, and tcc cues are all well done to show the player that an attack is coming in multiple ways

meanwhile watched got the visual removed

[paper depot]

Uuuh but that's part of good game design, not accesibility?

[verbal briar]

it's good AND accessible game design

accessible because players who have vision/hearing issues can still pick up on cues clearly

[safe eagle]

It being accessible is just luck lol

If deaf people didnt exist, they would STILL add those things

[paper depot]

Yeah i don't see your point

[paper depot]

Don't agree with this entirely

[paper depot]

But this for sure

[verbal briar]

my point is that most content doesn't give multiple cues even though it's clear that they have the ability to add them

[safe eagle]

Bro is so focused on trying to sound smart that he doesnt realize that hes not talking about the subject anymore

[paper depot]

The most urgent of abilities where it was most likely needed, is because those abilities are most of the times INSTA KILLS, they are important for ALL players to know that that event is going on.

[paper depot]

🤣

[verbal briar]

i know we're not talking about arachnophobia but accessibility is still related

[paper depot]

My point was made no?

[safe eagle]

It's completely different things

[verbal briar]

yes and i'm disagreeing with this

[paper depot]

Then let me make a clarification, they aren't able to on features that take to much time, because that time is better spent elsewhere because that's at the end of the day where the money lies.

[verbal briar]

[gusty frigate]

(to be clearer) notably a lot of mobs are being changed from their generic form to their mob model form that rekindled's system changes allows, so i imagine the modellers/model animator people are currently busy on that and not really available to make "friendly" versions for spiders

[karmic raft]

this doesn't really work anymore

because the pack shuffles around every now and then

[frozen panther]

You're scared of pixels?

[gusty frigate]

yes this is extremely relevant and a very worthwhile comment to make

[paper depot]

Nah 💀

[raw patrol]

Xae and Mesy cringe moments :(
Yeah, I support an arachnophobia mode. Replace spiders with a completely silly version with all the colors switched up so it's like
A pink spider with a goofy face is attacking you

[safe eagle]

Tf did i do wrong

[gusty frigate]

pink wither reference no way

[safe eagle]

Why in the fuck would you replace the spider with another spider. You realize there are more triggers than just its face?

[raw patrol]

Did they update IPKG's model? I don't remember that being the new model.

[gusty frigate]

thread-maker specifically said that the faces was the big issue for them specifically(but, uh, yeah, the spindly bits are generally quite bad too)

[frozen panther]

Nah you lot can't be real. Its through the screen can't be getting scared of pixels

[gusty frigate]

mods? turn this man's dna into soup

[abstract dust]

The guy who made this post said that would solve it for him, but obv that wouldn't solve it for everyone

[raw patrol]

It's infeasible to change the model with an arachnophobia mode, so changing the individual component textures is the best possible.

[eternal seal]

Oh god it’s another one of these

[gusty frigate]

yeah maybe just mute the thread and look the other way for sanity retention

[safe eagle]

isnt the point that it should solve it for everyone?

CT is never gonna do a thing for just 1 dude

[abstract dust]

Yeah that's why it's not a perfect solution

[safe eagle]

You dont even know what youre talking about

My goat

[karmic raft]

Could you not

[frozen panther]

?

[karmic raft]

It's possible to make parts of the model invisible to where it doesn't look like a spider anymore (or maybe making a custom pack that only contains spiders would only break spiders)

[crisp robin]

wait arachnophobia is real?

[raw patrol]

I suppose you could use that, turn them into flying slugs.

[raw patrol]

yes...?

[safe eagle]

Not only is it real, people that suffer from it doesnt take their time to deal with it

[raw patrol]

yeah see that's why i named you next to mesy

[eternal seal]

💀

[tribal sun]

Not this again bruh

[night ore]

if someone can just get the pack into a file and delete the textures for the spiders, it’d work

[brisk flax]

wish I could nickname people who arent on my friends list

some nasty names I'd like to profile people by

[safe eagle]

What would my name be

[brisk flax]

I'm afraid that is a secret

[safe eagle]

No balls 😃

[brisk flax]

biologically true

[jovial jacinth]

Don’t you have to do this every time they update the pack

Since the model files and texture names for the spider models are going to be auto-generated every update

[junior wyvern]

^^

texture changes arent feasible unless you can use a mod or smth to detect which textures need changing on the fly

[ornate rampart]

I don't think it's fair to create a ton of problems and dev time for "accessibility" when playing the game if it only affects like 0.1% of the player base when the poster has the option to get over their phobia in some way. Tbh I would even help by sending videos or telling them about cool spider facts like how jumping spiders have dreams like we do, but I don't think it's heartless to say "you should get over your fear instead of inconveniencing hundreds to thousands of other players."

Would it be fair to the rest of the player base to make the dev team spend 2 or 3+ months redoing textures and then figuring out a toggleable way to enable and disable the specific texture packs, when that time could be better spent on more important things like Fruma?

The key part here is the fact that the original poster has the means to do something about their phobia at their own discretion. Tomes were given symbols specifically for color blind people, as well as titles that correlate to their role because you have no control over being color blind. That is not the case with a fear of spiders

[tribal sun]

Would you ask elden ring devs to add a dragonphobia mode lmao

[abstract dust]

Yes🥺

[brisk flax]

then at least put a warning after/before the tutorial that wynncraft includes spooky spiders, and some other stuff like horror while we're at it

[karmic raft]

I mean i could try making an arachnophobia texture pack

although that might break every other model in the process, not sure

and it would require a mod to make the serverside texture pack further down in the packs list because manually downlaoded packs don't really work anymore

[brisk flax]

you should give it a shot (make sure to not use any backups and dont test it first )

[ornate rampart]

Minecraft has spiders. I think this is redundant. Do we need a spoiler tag saying "Warning, this game contains character death and mild cartoonish violence" too?

It just feels like a waste of time when it affects a significantly small amount of people (those whose arachnophobia gets triggered by blocky spider shaped video game models) and takes a lot of effort

[abstract dust]

It's not the blocky spiders it's the custom ones with custom animations

[brisk flax]

[ornate rampart]

Which are still incredibly blocky and aren't high resolution. I think it's kind of telling that we've only ever had one other person suggest this option and it was a troll

[abstract dust]

It wasn't a troll what

They were just a jerk, but they were serious

[karmic raft]

there have been like 4 arachnophobia threads

[ornate rampart]

4, out of the i think 4.5k active players recently? That's unironically less than 0.1% of players.

Would it be a nice addition? Absolutely. But I think it's too much of a time investment from CT when the people who are struggling have the freedom of choice to do something about their phobia

[night ore]

hey mr tfthief go to australia and get bit by a spider thaaaaanks

[abstract dust]

Bruh 4 threads not 4 people 💀

Arachnophobia is a very embarrassing thing to admit you're affected by in a video game, so there's very likely many more people who can't play wynn cuz of it

Not that many id still only guess a few dozen or so

[ornate rampart]

Literally has nothing to do with the conversation but okay

[night ore]

after that you’ll probably be scared of spiders

[ornate rampart]

It's still, at most, 1% of the game's player base who are fully capable of overcoming their fears enough to play a blocky pixel game

[abstract dust]

1 or maybe 2% if u wanna be generous, definitely not a priority yeah

[ornate rampart]

Not at all. I really adore them actually and I've been bitten multiple times

[night ore]

you weird for that

but ok

[ornate rampart]

I'm not trying to be an asshole, but I'm being pragmatic. We don't exactly have hundreds of people in CT you know?

[abstract dust]

Spider love

[abstract dust]

Ur not it makes sense not to put effort into smth so niche

[ornate rampart]

I'm actually very fond of all living things of all sizes. I think they're all incredible and amazing to look at

[ornate rampart]

If we had a shit ton of people who could pull it off without pulling resources from other update things, I'd be all for it, but unfortunately we have a CT that gets literal death threats so

[rich cape]

who are also volunteers yeah

[brisk flax]

It's even more fun to look at the light at the end of the tunnel when some of them bite you

[ornate rampart]

None of these are medically significant my guy

[brisk flax]

I wasn't referring to the pictures you sent

[ornate rampart]

Oh you meant in general. There is (not exaggerating here) less than a 0.05% chance that a spider species you encounter will be dangerous, so I think the fear of dying from it is very very overdramatic

[brisk flax]

Yeah not a lot of species are dangerous, but black widows are one of the most commonly found species in my area

And no I do not live in australia or a mineshaft

[ornate rampart]

And?

[brisk flax]

💀

[ornate rampart]

You're not a toddler or over the age of 70 right?

No I'm actually being serious

[brisk flax]

I have a toddler for a sister

[ornate rampart]

Then it's dangerous for her, but not you

[brisk flax]

yeah and im scared for her

[ornate rampart]

Definitely teach her not to play with spiders, but I meant like "nothing is going to happen to you"

In which case you're still not scared "of them" you're scared for her

which is completely valid btw

[brisk flax]

ok

[ripe flicker]

If this counts as horror to you.. you are wayy to much of a snowflake. And i myself do not like horror at all.

[brisk flax]

I did not mean the spiders, and I did not mean to imply that I find it scary

[ripe flicker]

Between 3 and 5% of the population face real arachnophobia. In which only a small amount have such an extreme reaction like op has.

My gf for example fears spiders. Tho she can be in a room with smaller ones. And she did not run away or get a panic attack when i showed her the spiders in wynn.
The reaction is different to anyone and for her example was way stonger before/when i met her. But as i stated earlier, training is everything.
You get used to stuff if you experience it. This is true for many many stuff. Spiders, bitter foods, darkness....

[safe eagle]

Arachnophobia is a huge spectrum

[silent pawn]

I seriously don’t get the point of these threads.

[abstract dust]

Arachnophobia is real and makes it so they just can't play because of the custom spiders being extra creepy

The point is they want the game to be accessible for ppl like them, but the problem is just that it's too niche

[silent pawn]

I mean as in all it does is turn into a circlejerk of two groups of people. One who just says “to get over it” and the other getting offended by it.

While absolutely nothing gets done about the actual problem.

And all of it could’ve been avoided if the OP just DM’d someone on the CT who actually makes the resource pack.

It’s a maypole of controversy

[abstract dust]

If ppl dm'd CT for their suggestions everytime that'd be terrible 💀

The threads are to have discussion and see how the community feels

[brisk flax]

The point of the thread was to tell devs that there should be arachnophobia free mode

Other people argued on their own terms

[silent pawn]

I’m not saying to DM a CT for every suggestion. Just for suggestions like these.

Where it’s a minor tweak, but only affects a small portion of players albeit severely.

That’s why you shouldn’t involve the rest of the community for special cases like these because they don’t care or actively derail the thread and say dumb stuff like “get over it”

[ripe flicker]

Im afraid thats not a minor tweak.

Also where do you draw the line when dm'ing staff. Its simple, there is a rule about it, that you dont. Those threads are made for it.

[abstract dust]

Yeah would be a very high tweak

[ripe flicker]

Also saying "get over it" (noone did it like that cause its rude af) is actually the solution that is best for the persons life.

[silent pawn]

Okay but it’s not like they asked for a whole province or even a quest to be added.

[ripe flicker]

Takes time and is not easy, i understand that.

[ripe flicker]

Its a whole new toggle mode, well frankly i do not know what is hardest to implement cause i dont code wynn. A staff would have to answer us about that.

[silent pawn]

Also you can absolutely DM members of the CT about suggestions. Obviously don’t spam stupid stuff, but I highly doubt the OP would’ve even gotten muted if they reached out to the person who actually makes the resource pack and explained themselves.

[ripe flicker]

But i think, changing the landscape (amazing job btw i love everything) is the fastest milestone of the project. What often falls behind is coding and implementing. Project management and creating systems is what usually takes up most of the time.

Trust me on that, im doing stuff like that for a living.

[brisk flax]

I think the "it takes way too much time for something that doesn't affect many people" is really silly, because most of the spiders JUST got new textures, along with probably thousands of mobs, some of which are seen by maybe 100 people a day. Which is probably the same amount of arachnophobes. Who might quit Wynn. Because of scary spiders.

[ripe flicker]

It takes time because you dont want to change the really good models for everyone. That means you have to create a toggle mode for spiders.

As i said, how much time that is and how many people would quit over the new model is something you can only calculate if you have the statistics around it. Then you can calculate how much a single player is worth on average and if it is worth to implement or not.

As i see it: for the server there are probably 1/500 players quitting because of that. So it really is a difficult question since there are way more points in wynn that get more people to quit and thus are a higher priority.

For any person with this issue i suggest talking about it and going to therapy. There is a proven treatment for it and if you manage to work on yourself you will have a better life after. Thats a good thing.

[orchid rapids]

U mean like make them all just one still color? I could do that

[night ore]

or just delete those textures

[ripe flicker]

Im not sure but i think custom files do not work the way the used to work with the new version.

[orchid rapids]

Deleting makes the spiders just invisible

[orchid rapids]

I mean now Wynncraft just has a thousand files named : w and a number which are animal body parts and stuffs

So to find textures for those u just search up in texture w and the number

[ripe flicker]

Yeah but i think a ct said those names change with every update

[orchid rapids]

Yeah finding the spiders won't be easy

Gotta sift through like 600 files in block bench

[jovial jacinth]

But you have to do this every time they update the pack

[orchid rapids]

Yep

But that's what always has happened

Wynn names are very very not direct and u always gotta find the models just chaos

[jovial jacinth]

They can’t really help it, it’s auto-generated

[orchid rapids]

Ur the one complaining tho?

I don't like it but don't mind it

[jovial jacinth]

Was I complaining

[orchid rapids]

^

[orchid rapids]

question: does just ereasing spider facfes do the work? Cause identifying spider faces easy af but legs would be hell of a pain

[junior wyvern]

the last thread about it had op struggling with the legs, this op struggles with the faces

so no erasing just the face is not a solution

i think the only feasible way is to make a mod that looks for spider nametags and retextures the nearby display entities on the fly

[orchid rapids]

they dont have nametags

the mobs are literally named: w(number)

[junior wyvern]

in-game nametags, not the file names

[orchid rapids]

ohh

[glass moss]

this is a pack that changes the faces of majority of spiders like in the pic
to use it you would need the server pack unlocker mod to keep this pack on top of the server one
i could make another where it gets rid of their textures entirely so you would have to rely on just the name tag to find them which might suck but it works

did u change infested pit guradian?

[glass moss]

yes its a cube now you can look at the forums post i made in the message you replied to

[safe eagle]

Why would you change the face only

[glass moss]

thats what op requested theres another version that removes the legs as well

[safe eagle]

Thats cool of you for doing that but theres more triggers than just the face

[glass moss]

yeah there isnt much i can do besides removing the texture entirely or something but i feel like that would suck to attack or see and i cant really do anything about the model

[safe eagle]

Lol removing the entire texture is better than nothing

Nametags still exists and it's not that annoying

(Some mobs have been perma invisible to me pre 2.1 because i play without seeing armor)

[glass moss]

added it to the drive as an option

i know spider is not something comfortable to look at due to their abnormal body structure but not something i would freak out in sight and not mention in a blocky low resolution game? i genuinly dont understand arachnophobia and probably never will so i cant say anything for sure.

But like many have talk about this, it really just affect the minority of the server and probably take a good chunk amount of time for dev to create more accessibility for such small portion of the community when they can focus on more important thing

if you cant deal with it (not try to be rude here). you can alway turn off the resourcepack and play with random floating block instead, if you still want to see other stuff then you have to make an arachnophobia resourcepack on your own. It not fair to add more unneccessary stuff onto the developer's todo list to increase their workload for like, 1% of the community

Obviously you won't understand phobias... They're irrationally extreme fears
