But that still doesn't answer the problems with the boss: to kill it, you spam the mouse button, like every other damn thing.
If every other mob is a spam click, then this follows tradition. You would be confused if a boss battle appeared in a puzzle game that has nothing to do with puzzles. Also, this is more creative then the other bosses. Enderdragon: Shoot the healers, then the boss. Also, it's a dragon. How is that not cliche? Wither's design is original, but you just end up spam clicking anyways. With the spider, you use mining as the method to win. What other game do you win a boss battle by gathering resources?
I'd say this is pretty good. I liked it at least. Anyways,

Thanks for liking it. And you are right: This is the only boss you defeat through mining. I seriously never thought about that.
I'm not fond of the Glow-blob thing. I think it would be better to just make them normal Slimes. Actually, I also think it would be cool if tiny Slimes made some kind of a slime effect when they hopped, and whatever they landed on was left with a sticky surface for a short time, to make up for the fact that the tiny ones are harmless and adorable. But that might be getting too far off your idea.
I guess I just don't like the aspect of a brand new mob that is only a palette swapped minion to a mini boss. I'd rather it just be a tiny Slimes and they take the role of minion. Other than that, I'd keep it pretty much the same. The only problem is then the Slimes wouldn't be fire resistant, but I've always though they should become magma cubes when exposed to fire anyways. Maybe that could be a mechanic in the boss fight. Spider likes tiny Slimes, Spider dislikes fire, fire makes Slimes into Magma Cubes, Spider focuses on them for a moment giving you a chance to take out the slimed up floor or get a few hits in.
Oh and I think the part about not despawning on Peaceful should be changed. The game could somehow record if you had killed a Glow Spider at that location and if you haven't and it is not on Peaceful then it will spawn. Or something. Mainly because I don't like the fact that it could become a big, never despawning, invincible obstacle in the way of building or what have you.

I agree with you. Maybe the Glow Spider could become non-hostile when you turn the difficulty to Peaceful (Similar to how regular spiders turn peaceful in the daytime) or maybe the Glow Spider could turn into a block when you turn it to Peaceful. Anyway, I just don't think it is fair to have a giant glowing spider chasing you around on Peaceful.

With the glow theme you could possible think up a full fledged boss for the Nether, or just a normal mob. Keep up the good work!

Let me picture this..
Is this what you kind of think of it?
Spider Texture:
Well, its close. But when I post a picture that is not blocky form, I want it to be in Minecraft looking exactly like that, but in blocky form. So I actually want a different model. This is a (mini) boss anyway. Has to be unique
i would support but i'm debillitatingly arachnophobic,it's really bad,so sorry, but i wouldn't ever even go underground again if i knew there would be spiders that looked like they jumped out of a Lord of The Rings book

So...how is the current Spiders-in-caves thing in Minecraft? And this is from Lord of the Rings? That, I am unaware since I never watched any LotR movie. (I know...I missed so much in my childhood)

Because Cave Spider minions are oversuggested.
And plus, they are also mutated by Glow Blobs anyway since they have Glow Blob stripes. Why cant they command those tiny cubes?
Thanks for support anyway

All corny jokes aside... Need more evaluations if this is overpowered, underpowered or just right.

Final Thoughts: A bit cliche, but also unique enough to be worth the fight; you have my support.
I already did
Try checking out Commonly Suggested Ideas. Then click on Rock Giant in Mobs section.
It never wakes up on Peaceful.
Thanks!
Gotta admit, three positive comments which sound serious in a row really made my day
