Cave spider’s loot decreases when they are killed on magma blocks. Usually you get around 1-2 string per kill (atleast one, that’s without looting). When killed on magma blocks they usually drop no string, but from time to time a cave spider drops one string. I have done some testing and this seems to only affect cave spiders.

This is not true. Spiders and cave spiders drop 0-2 string when killed by players and magma blocks.
Ok, I made a mistake on that one. I tested this later and surely you get 0-2 string. But you absoloutly don’t get this much when they are killed on magma blocks! You get like one string per 10-20 spiders! Sometimes less!

I think you were just unlucky. I killed 200 cave spiders with a sword and 200 cave spiders with magma blocks and got the following results:
Sword: 194 string
Magma block: 196 string
