Arachnophobia : Locust / Shiver Remodel

This mod allows you to do battle with pleasantly vague piles of something or other rather than the legged fiends of vanilla.

Note that variants are not distinct from their base models yet, so enabling the block info overlay during combat is advised.

Should be resolved now, although locusts can no longer leap for the time being. I'll fix that for the next version. Let me know if you still have issues.

oldcake Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I opened a ticket (#6) to track this and will release an update once it's fixed.

In version 1.21.6, the animation of the locusts has been updated. However, these animations are incompatible with this mod, resulting in the locusts displayed in the mod not aligning with their actual positions. This makes it impossible for players to attack them. We hope for an update! Please help!

@Sleeves THANK YOU, best mod ever <3

Should be working again; turned out to be a simple folder restructure on the game's part. Apologies for the delay.

No longer works, found a locust cave and they were unchanged : (

Hi! I've been playing with your mod for a while now but I suddenly came across shivers and I know they have been changed. Did the 1.21 update break your mod?

Apollox, Jul 19th 2025 at 1:15 PM

Thanks for this. The shivers creep me out lol

HimiTosi, Apr 11th 2025 at 8:45 PM

@Sleeves thanks!

breybanz, Apr 10th 2025 at 7:50 PM

thank you for looking into a remodel of the shivers, those things freak me out

Sleeves , Apr 10th 2025 at 3:23 PM

Done!

HimiTosi TheDude Honestly, I can't seem to find the remodel I was working on for shivers (which has been taking quite some time due to my desire to replace the animations too). So, for the time being, I'll throw together a less involved shiver remodel and upload it in a new version here. Should be up sometime today.

HimiTosi, Apr 9th 2025 at 9:35 PM

Could u kindly add shivers to this list? Asking for a friend.

TheDude, Apr 9th 2025 at 5:05 PM

Please allow me to modify the appearance of all the shivers and locusts, even the corrumpu.

I'm not the target for this mod, but the thumbnail brought me so much joy :) I just had to mention it

Mendall, Feb 9th 2025 at 6:36 PM

Sorry  KiriRae. Sometimes my rectal intellect (smart ass) over-rides my brains. In honor of you, there will be nothing with legs in my Halloween decorations next year. Of course, if you think about it. Christmas is the real scary Holliday.

This is adorable. I have a friend that asked me if I could mod all the enemies as frogs for her so if you make more replacements, that would be great. I'll follow for now.

Sleeves , Feb 8th 2025 at 9:50 PM

Progress report: the shiver remodel is becoming more ambitious than anticipated (animations, sound design) so it'll be a separate mod.

Sleeves , Feb 8th 2025 at 7:49 PM

Jokes aside, if anyone does find them to be too similar I can change the models. Also working on the shivers now.

KiriRae, Feb 8th 2025 at 6:04 PM

Mendall You're a brat!😛 Funny but not.😒 Don't think you know what it's like to have an irrational fear. Can barely hear or read the name, they are called 'Nopes' at my house. Even the fake ones people love to plaster all over their houses at Halloween are hard.

Mendall, Feb 8th 2025 at 5:26 PM

You know? Those blobs sorta look like the abdomens of spiders, just missing the legs. yea, they're just legless spiders. WA HA HA HA HA.

Legless spider phobia created. Job done!

Simstress, Feb 8th 2025 at 1:44 PM

Yes, I got it and it's great, don't judge ☺️

EndlessOats, Feb 7th 2025 at 9:49 PM

Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the resolve to face it

Sleeves , Feb 7th 2025 at 6:40 PM

KiriRae soon™ (today or tomorrow)

KiriRae, Feb 7th 2025 at 6:36 PM

I like it. Please, please do shivers. Can't stand those legs.
