A spider jockey is a very rare occurrence in Minecraft, where a skeleton, or wither skeleton is found riding on top of a regular spider, or sometimes, in Minecraft PE, a cave spider. It is a very deadly mob, often killing in seconds, so you have to be prepared. Whether you want to say you've seen one due to them being a rare sight, or that you've fought one, keep reading this article to find out how you'll be able to find that spider jockey you've been wanting to find.

Steps

Create a new game. If you're on PC, then set your game to hard mode. This is because more mobs are likely to spawn, so it'll be more likely that a spawn at night will be a spider jockey.

Search around for a cave with rock. Once you've found one, be sure you are prepared, and go into the cave. While the chances of this happening are extremely small at only 1%l, if you find a spider dungeon, there is a chance that one spawn will be a spider jockey. However, this may take awhile, so unless you have equipment, it is not recommended to stand in a spider dungeon for a long time.

Search for an abandoned mineshaft if you're playing PE. Again, the chances are very small, but if you find an abandoned mineshaft with a cave spider spawner, a spider jockey could be spawned. However, be prepared, as these types of spider jockeys can sometimes be even more dangerous.

Consider heading to the nether. Again, at 0.8%, the chances are extremely small, but if you use a spider spawn egg, a wither skeleton jockey could be spawned. However, this can only be done in the nether, and it is even more rare for it to happen naturally.

Craft a decent sword and wait until nighttime. Usually, this is the easiest option. Once it is nighttime, head out with your sword, and search for a spider jockey. Again, the chances of it appearing are just 1%, but it can still happen.

Consistently use spider spawn eggs. This too can take forever, but if you keep at it, it just might work. Note that this will not work with a skeleton spawn egg, only a spider egg.
