The Bug:
Cave Spiders / Normal Spiders don't deal actual damage when 'jumping' towards the player, but attack (Deal damage) when are far from the player (1-2 Blocks) wihtout actually touching / coming close to Player's Hitbox.
How to Reproduce:
Create new world and spawn some cave / normal spiders
On Gamemode 0 tap 'Toggle prespective' (F5) to see yourself and the spider from the side
Let the spider attack you and watch from how far away it is attacking you and when it is jumping
The spider jumps, then fall back on the ground. After a couple milliseconds it attacks you (Deals damage to you) from around 0.9 to 1.8 blocks from your hitbox. (In my own tests)
