Thank you to all you supporters for making this post both Hot AND popular!
Hello fellow minecrafters I was thinking one day when I was hunting for silk and I thought to my self. Why do spiders just stand there all morning like they're waiting to despawn. It seems much more realistic and additionally fun if spiders would return to their spider nest after the sun rises. When you find one of these nests they would basically be like the entrance to a cave in the side of a hill but instead of a cave system it's a little roundish hovel looking thing like someone just set off a couple blocks of TNT at the base of a mountain. It will be filled with cob webs slightly thicker than what you see in an abandoned mineshaft and when you enter you will most likely be confronted by the arachnid inhabitants. Only like 2-3 spiders in there.
Once you kill the spiders you will notice a few things that look like bones or couple arrows or other things the spiders have forcefully taken from their previous owners. These items will be limited to 5 tops in a single nest. If there are not 5 things then the spiders will steal a random item when they kill you and take it to their nest. After looting the place you leave and continue on your day.

(Pictures, heart signs and more will be added soon I'm doing this on the fly.)
The nests are much larger like half the height of a ravine and round. Many adder crawling around and TONS of small loot drops in Mini caves giving the feel of breeding holes on the walls. In the far end center of the cave you will see something that will make you question your entire world view.
THE BROOD MOTHER. This beast contains 100 hearts and no defense. It has 3 modes of attack. First method of attack is a normal nomnomnom spider eatchu melee attack that deals 4 hearts of damage and deals 2 hears of poison damage so bows are a priority here. Second method of attack is clusters of spider web tinted green as if It was imbued with spider venom..... Which it is. This attack is basically a retextured ghast fireball that causes everything in the last radius.... Provided it wasn't smacked away to be hit with poison. Third method is triggered after it reaches half health in which the breeding holes with egg sacs burst open and reveal cave spiders coming the the brood mothers aid. Once you finally kill this beast it will curl into a ball and remain as an inanimate husk until you burn it away then you will have reached the center of he cornucopia in this massive cavern where you will find boring bones and rotten flesh but then you see a glimmer of something shiny. A diamond here and there some gold lapis and other precious things among the nest of goodies for you to claim for beating this beast.
Note: these only spawn rarely in extreme hills biomes or other biomes with exceedingly tall mountains.

Spider nests are great,as they are not underground,they're just small caves inside mountains(aren't they?),it's cool that it adds more undergrouns feel to the surface world,althought i think the loot thing is too overpowered,as spider nests would be common,as spiders are common.Unless the loot is just lesser items,as arrows,bones and meat,as you said.

Thanks for the loot ideas! I added all but string since you get that from the cobwebs and the enchanting books since how did a spider get an enchanting book?
please specify, do the spiders make these during the game, or do they spawn like dungeons? I think it would be cooler if you find a hole you swear wasn't there before, but if they spawned like dungeons, they could have a chest in the back guarded by cave spiders, and it could have poison glands for poison swords, spider fangs to encrust tools and armour, and spider legs that could be used to increase the range of your tools, or maybe crafted to shoes to make you taller, jump higher, or walk three blocks up walls before falling maybe? Just some of my thoughts, I've always wanted a use for cave spiders, like dropping these things.

They would spawn like dungeons but if spiders have no nest to go to they might make one just with no extra loot just bones and rotten flesh etc.
I like this, it would not take a lot of mojangs time to code, just some basic path finding. I also think it was weird that spiders just stood there with nothing to do during the day. Support.
should be more than 3 spiders, and it would be more interesting if it had this:
-Snip-
it would behave like a spider spawner, but would only do this at night, and hitting it would spawn 3-4 spiders, but hitting it again wouldn't spawn them again for another 2 minutes.
0_0 Dat link....... a...aaa....aaaaa.....aaaaanyways.....
Cool idea. I think this was considered added in some way or another at the same time as cobweb was added, would be cool to finally see it added. Some thoughts I got was maybe there could be several types of dens: The one that is described, along with similar ones deeper underground intersecting tunnels filled with cobweb and maybe a few regular spider-spawners? It would certainly be interesting to just be randomly exploring when suddenly the caves start filling up with nets and suddenly you're inside a spider-cavern, for yes, some spiders live in self-made tunnels, not all lives in webs, and judging by their size it wouldn't surprise me if those 2m Diameter long critters could dig through rock. And then there could be the third kind of nest which is already partially explained, a quick smaller web made by a spider left without any pre-existing nets nearby, preferably close to a more shady place like at the bottom of a tree. This would spice up exploring since everytime you left a place for quite a while it would start spouting out spiderdens here and there, sustaining the presence of spiders even at mid-day.

Post that image to imgur so we can all see it. It seems that you put alot of work into a texture for that from the fact that i felt like i was reading binary with all that text. I'd love to see it once its posted there so i can see it.

Curse PremiumDuring the day, spiders would return to the nearest Spider Nest, right?
I think it wouldn't be a bad idea for Spider Nests to be a dungeon underground. A chest and some cobwebs would be great. I like the idea, for sure.
I support.

Unh,no.I think this would give a bit of individuality to spiders,making them sort of special,for being the only mob with homes.

Most spiders make a web but some make a "den" like thing. This would be a Large spider web for a Large spider in a smaller cave
wait heres one "FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDOOMMM!!!!" ~Demoman
All spiders use webs somehow. Some make funnels, some just make normal webs, and other stuff.

Zombies and skeletons are special since they burn in the sunlight but NO ONE suggest creeper dens PLEASE.

2-3 spiders scares you? XD
