This isn't exactly new. I've seen maybe 2-3 suggestions that say the blue spider should drop venom for poisoned arrows. And there have been several suggestions about it before the blue spider, just with poison being dropped in addition to string by regular spiders.

Meh. Not many uses in SSP and is there a cure? If not that'd be very over powered.
*Gets hurt randomly in SMP* Huh? *Looks around and sees nothing* *Actually got shot by posion arrow*
What about TNT and diamond? If the blue spider is rare/hard to kill then this isn't overpowered. This would add to the strategy's of attackers on SMP. Right now it's just mine around defenses and kill.
So with 1.8 coming, most of you should know that one of the new mob's will be a poisonous Blue Spider.

So my idea, is that the blue spider drops some type of poison gland or something.
This poison gland can be combined with an arrow to make Poison arrows, which poison you enemies.
This idea will work BEST with 1.8, because poison is actually being implemented into the game.
So heres the crafting idea:
The lapis is just a place holder for the poison.
That's about all there is it to it.
Please post you're opinion and criticism, and also vote in the poll. Thanks.
Very good idea.

It should be a 1 to 1 ratio in my opinion.
If you have 1 poison and 1 arrow it should make 1 poison arrow.
Also if this is incorporated you do understand that inventory equip slots will need to be made like there are slots for armor.
Otherwise how would the game determine if you want to use regular or poison arrows.

im pretty sure the game already uses the arrows that are in your action bar first, so if u put these there it will use them and not regular arrows.
