Spider Jockeys are hostile mobs that have only 1% to spawn naturally. Spider Jockeys are Spiders being ridden by Skeletons.

Spawning[]

Spider Jockeys spawn naturally in the Overworld, but they only have 1% chance to spawn. They also have very small chances to be spawned with a Spider Spawn Egg.

Attack[]

Spider Jockeys attack at the player by shooting arrows at him/her. The skeleton is shooting the arrows and the spider is moving, but it doesn't attack. Once the skeleton gets killed, the spider will start attacking at the player.

Combat[]

An iron sword or above is recommended to fight spider jockeys. Armor is also recommended. A bow can also work better than a sword.

Drops[]

When the Skeleton dies, it will drop 0-2 Bones and 0-2 Arrows. When the Spider dies it will drop 0-1 Spider Eyes.

Trivia[]

  • In PE cave spiders can be spawned ridden by skeletons, creating cave spider jockeys.
  • There is also a variant of spider jockeys called Wither Jockeys. They are spiders being ridden by Wither Skeletons.
