How to Build and Protect a Spider Territory

Establishing an arachnid colony requires setting up away from human settlements. Villagers panic or attack you on sight and will strictly refuse to trade with spider players.

Constructing Your Colony

Carve out a hidden nest underground or far from vanilla villages using themed arachnid blocks.

1. Store meat and resources inside themed silken storage chests.

2. Reinforce the perimeter of your base with silken building blocks and decorative webs.

3. Funnel all base entrances into choke points lined with Silken Cobweb blocks. Hostile intruders are trapped and slowed down, while you and your allied spiders walk through freely.

4. Ensure no campfires, torches, or lava pits touch your defensive lines. Silk-covered bristles cause your spider character to take extra damage from fire.

Safeguarding Player Allies

While wild spiders protect you in combat and refuse to attack you, they will still treat non-spider players as threats unless protected.

1. Gather your multiplayer companions inside your territory.

2. Activate the Spider Kinship ability while standing near your teammates.

3. This marks nearby friends with pheromones so wild spiders treat them as allies, allowing other players to visit your nest safely.
