New Hostile Mobs:

Undead Miner:

The undead remains of unlucky villager miners. They are a dangerous foe on account of their pickaxes. Drops bones and rarely ingots. Found underground below Y=40 or in abandoned mineshafts.

Brood Spider:

Large spiders that carry their brood on their abdomen, waiting to sick hordes of spiderlings your way. They are rare but pose a significant threat to early players when encountered, similar to endermen. Keep your distance when possible. Drops string, spider eyes, and a spider heart used to craft the boss spawn. Found underground everywhere and in higher levels in the jungle.

Spider Eggs:

Spider eggs don’t pose a direct threat themselves and in fact, can offer loot when destroyed. However, they also release several spiderlings when broken in addition to their treasure. Spider eggs are found in Spider Nests that generate periodically underground. Treasure consists of cave themed items.

Spiderling:

Small baby spiders spawned by Brood Spiders, Spider Eggs, and the Spider Matriarch. While they pose little threat by themselves, they are dangerous in numbers.

Bristle Spider:

A ranged spider that accompanies the Spider Matriarch during the boss battle. It fires a slew of bristles at the player.

More creatures are to be added in Future Updates…

New Passive Mobs:

Ore Crawler:

These little arthropods are found everywhere underground and drop their respective ore when killed. They run from the player, so you have to be quick! So far only coal has been implemented, but others will be added in the next update.

Villager Miners:

These poor villagers have become trapped and need your help to rescue them! They are found trapped in webs underground and you free them by punching the webs off. They are weak and require food to get the strength to follow you. Once you feed them, they will need to be lead back to the nearest village where they will reward you with XP and become a Miner themed Villager. They use any work stand that other villagers use and trade miner themed items.
