Cave spiders are pretty dangerous due to their smaller size, and ability to poison you. This is what makes them different from regular spiders, so why not add a new drop for killing them! There should be some sort of venom fang or talon that allows you to:
- brew potions of poison (replacing the old way)
- make lasting antidotes (eg. milk loses its effect after one use, this antidote will last a while longer)
- craft with arrows to make poison tipped arrows!
Maybe milk should also restore hunger, because with the new antidote, it's slightly not as useful to recover from poison with it.
I suppose it could work, but the idea would need to be developed a bit. What other uses would the new item have? How much hunger and saturation would milk be designated to give? Would the antidote effect be a potion status or have doses in each vial? How much damage would the poison arrows do, and how long would the poison last? Are there any downsides-- nevermind, you have do deal with cavespiders to get it.
Also, welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay.

Let your opinion be without bias, and be swift to correct yourself rather than others.
Well for now, I suppose this new drop could be used for brewing and arrows. Keep in mind ghast tears and some other items only have one or two uses. The new potion antidote would prevent you from being poisoned for a certain period of time (it could follow the different kinds of potion tiers, eg. Antidote I or II) but it WOULDN'T restore health, so still handy near a cave spider spawner. I suppose the poison arrow would just add a poisoning effect on top of normal arrow damage, maybe about the same poison as eating a spider eye.
I suppose hat considering milk is fairly filling as a drink, it could restore 2 hunger and maybe as much saturation as bread...
