Hauntweaver Broodmother

Quickstart

1. Find or spawn the boss – The Hauntweaver Broodmother spawns naturally anywhere in the Overworld, day or night. You can also use the Hauntweaver Broodmother Spawn Egg (found in the Spawn Eggs creative tab) to summon one immediately.
2. Fight carefully – She has 100 HP, heavy armor, and strong knockback resistance. Keep your distance; her bite poisons you and she periodically spawns Mini Hauntweavers that drop cobwebs at your feet.
3. Collect Haunted Webs – On death she drops 6–10 Haunted Webs (2 extra if you land the killing blow).
4. Craft gear – Use Haunted Webs to craft the full armor set, sword, and bow (recipes below).
5. Equip the full armor set – Wearing all four pieces lets you climb walls and walk freely through cobwebs.

Overview

The Hauntweaver Broodmother is a boss-tier spider that roams the Overworld at any light level. She is roughly 2.5× the size of a normal spider and brings a swarm of small spider minions with her. Defeating her rewards you with Haunted Webs, a unique crafting material used to build a powerful armor set and weapons that give spider-like abilities to the wearer.

How To Use

Fighting the Broodmother

The Broodmother spawns in the Overworld using standard monster spawn rules, so she can appear in any biome at any time of day. She hits hard (8 attack damage), applies Poison II on each bite, and resists knockback significantly — you cannot easily knock her back to create distance.

Every 10 seconds while she has a target, she summons 2–3 Mini Hauntweavers nearby. Mini Hauntweavers are fast (faster than the Broodmother) and will place a cobweb directly under your feet when they get close, trapping you. Prioritize killing them quickly or maintain distance to avoid being snared while the Broodmother closes in.

Recommended strategies:

• Use a bow or ranged attacks to stay out of poison range.
• Kill Mini Hauntweavers as soon as they spawn to prevent web traps.
• Bring milk to cure Poison if you get bitten.
• She awards 50 XP on death.

Haunted Web Armor Set Abilities

Wearing all four Haunted Web armor pieces simultaneously unlocks two passive abilities:

• Web Immunity – You move at full speed through cobwebs and are never slowed or stuck.
• Wall Climbing & Sticking – When you walk into a wall, you can climb up it like a ladder. To stick in place on a wall (stop falling), hold Sneak while pressed against the wall and off the ground.

Repairing any piece of the armor set requires Haunted Webs on an anvil.

Crafting And Obtaining

Haunted Web

Dropped by the Hauntweaver Broodmother on death:

• 6–10 Haunted Webs normally
• +2 bonus webs if a player delivers the killing blow

Haunted Web Sword

Crafted with 2 Haunted Webs (blade) and 1 Stick (handle) in a vertical column:

[ W ]
[ W ]
[ S ]

(W = Haunted Web, S = Stick)

High durability (2600) and strong attack damage.

Haunted Web Bow

Crafted with 3 Haunted Webs and 3 Strings:

[ ] [W] [S]
[W] [ ] [S]
[ ] [W] [S]

(W = Haunted Web, S = String)

Durability: 768. When fired, the bow boosts every arrow to deal 7 base damage and marks it as a critical hit regardless of charge.

Haunted Arrow

Shapeless recipe — combine 4 regular Arrows with 1 Haunted Web to produce 4 Haunted Arrows.

Haunted Arrows deal double the base damage of a normal arrow (4.0 base damage vs. 2.0). They work with any bow, including the Haunted Web Bow for maximum effect.

Haunted Web Armor

All armor pieces use only Haunted Webs. Crafting follows the standard armor patterns:

The armor material is extremely durable (base durability multiplier of 42, comparable to Netherite tier) and provides solid protection — Helmet: 4, Chestplate: 10, Leggings: 8, Boots: 4 armor points, plus toughness and knockback resistance.

Abilities And Mechanics

Broodmother Combat Stats

Haunted Web Bow – Empowered Shots

The Haunted Web Bow overrides the arrow's power on every shot, setting base damage to 7 and flagging the arrow as a critical. This applies regardless of which arrows you load — but using Haunted Arrows stacks the effect, letting them reach maximum possible damage output.

Full Armor Set Bonus – Wall Climbing Detail

The climbing works exactly like a ladder: moving into any solid wall surface while wearing the full set allows you to climb upward freely. Gravity resumes the moment you leave the wall or take off a piece of armor. Holding Sneak while on a wall and airborne cancels downward momentum so you stay in place — release Sneak to resume climbing or falling.

Progression And Strategy

1. Early encounter – The Broodmother can spawn at any time, so be prepared even in the early game. If you are not ready, retreat — she is a serious threat without good gear.
2. First kill – Farm enough Haunted Webs (you may need 2–3 kills) to craft the full armor set plus a sword and bow.
   • Helmet: 5 webs · Chestplate: 8 webs · Leggings: 7 webs · Boots: 4 webs · Sword: 2 webs · Bow: 3 webs = 29 webs minimum for everything
3. Unlock the set bonus – Equipping all four armor pieces is the primary goal. The web immunity alone is transformative in caves and spider encounters; wall climbing opens up new movement options everywhere.
4. Ranged loadout – Pair the Haunted Web Bow with Haunted Arrows for a devastating ranged combo. Craft Haunted Arrows in bulk (1 Haunted Web → 4 arrows per craft from 4 regular arrows).
5. Repair loop – Continue farming the Broodmother for Haunted Webs to repair your gear on an anvil as durability degrades.
