About this Mod
Requires Geckolib & Patchouli!
G'day! Welcome to Liko's Tarantulas! A mod about, you guessed it, tarantulas. This mod is currently decently early in development, advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated! If there's a species of tarantula you'd like to see included let me know!
This mod adds more enchantments, decorative blocks, utility items, combat items, healing items and more ways to farm and use string
I will add more arachnids besides tarantulas eventually, just starting basic.
Feel free to message me ideas or bug reports on Discord @Oerlikon
(or just join the Liko's Eternal Hell server.)

These huge spiders will rear up when hit by a player! Don't get too close or they'll bite!

They are typically very sneaky and hide away in burrows

You can also find ancient temples with treasure and unique talismans to aid you
