For some of us, it was a mod that truly opened our eyes to how interesting and amazing a mod could truly be. Sure it lacked a lot of the great things it could have had but at the same time it was a truly intriguing mod that did things in a strange way. Capture creeps, bring them home, dine on them when you want, maybe impregnate them with an egg! The options were amazing and the webbing mechanics were great.\
Here is a few things that should be taken into consideration:
Should there only be the Spider Queen to play as?
Why couldn't the player choose to be the Ant Queen? The Queen Bee? Termite Princess? Maybe a menu at the start of the mod that would allow the player to decide what faction they'd like to lead/fight for and in turn would gain the body-type and the abilities granted to that queen only?
Webbing should be a separate bar on the HUD that slowly refill over time!
Webbing things up was an amazing mechanic! It let you capture food or capture violent mobs after you hurt them enough! It let you climb things and worked sort of as a grappling hook in certain circumstances. The mod was still a bit young at the time so you couldn't do crazy things like custom webs or drag mobs (I don't think?) but just having web as an option was amazing. My favorite thing to do was to go out and web some cows/pigs/chickens and then stick them to the huge wall-web I made so that I could eat them later! So many bite marks!
Just a few thoughts but Spider Queen was an incredibly popular mod that never got updated past 1.2.5 due to business from the Dev and the Dev not knowing how to do a lot of the modding things once the updates started coming out.
Anybody who would be willing to pick up this project would have quite a large number of backers as the mod itself was a bit of a cult classic.
I agree it should be brought back. i haven't played it myself, but it looks [been playing since 1.3.1 D:] epic. you should be able to pick if you wanna be a human or a spider queen. and it should be forge compatible, and easier to download.and btw, i could help model the mod

Trying to bring back Spider Queen. please help me.
anyways, back on topic, i have a basic spider queen model ready for texturing.
me? get this mod back up myself? woah woah woah. I can't program.
DON'T DOUBT YOURSELF!
I feel that if we can get atleast 2-3 coders, a model maker, a texture guy, and a guy or two for idea spamming we could make this successful!
A list of things Spiderqueen had, (so people can work on them now-ish)
A type of Spider for every mob. All mobs (with some exceptions) could be captured, the only one's that didn't have models of being bundled any mobs not seen in this picture:
There are two versions of the webbed mob entity. 1 where it was still okay and webbed, Skeleton always looked so ed, animals would Derp out expression wise:
The picture above this one of course showing all the webbed mobs after being bitten, also note the huge bite wound on the side of their head and the grayer appearance.
The first is a bundle of web that was used to grappling hook essentially, the second is a wand that would control your Spiderlings that you made from implanting an egg to a webbed mob, each mob made a different type of spider, and the third is a bundle of web which is throwable like a snowball and would bundle any mob that was low health. It would auto-bundle most peaceful mobs in one throw, some hostiles needed to be damaged first! Would like to see a system where she just passively generates webbing to use where she needed it tbh! Much more efficient system and this is a mod where you should be able to start out differently as the queen!
This was her main web, it just functions as a bed..... Meh!
Then of course you had bees, ants, termites?, etc. Djolsin's other mobs felt out of place in the mod tbh.
Ask the mod author before you do anything like this its his mod and unless he gives permission you might cause issues.
There might be a reason why he stopped updating it thats another reason why you should ask before you do something like this.

He stopped because he couldn't keep up and because the mod got too difficult after a while to update. Unless he says no I'm pushing to continue it
UPDATE: I had the source code from djoslin, but then The Creeper Republic stole it. Atleast I can Grab the source Code via notepad++ from the download!

Also if we could get someone to throw out a functioning installation tutorial for turning 1.6.2's crapclient to using a successful 1.2.5 boot now that we have the option, that would be quite swell. I keep trying to get Spiderqueen to work but to no avail.
I think a lot of people want it remade. If we got anything functional I'm sure it would draw in a huge crowd now that there are like 3 times the players as when it was originally out.
Im Comeing in to help you ramseh, see i can make the spider queen mobs just not the spider queen (that u are) and the cocooned Mobs
ill also see if i can message the mod creator cause i really loved this mod
