Beastly Buggers

You can create a Beetle Cleaver by crafting a sword with Beetle Horn Fragments instead of a material and adding an extra Beetle Horn Fragment off to the side. It deals twenty-four damage (twelve hearts) on it's own, but can be enchanted with Sharpness (and other sword-applicable enchantments). If you have a Strength II potion and your Beetle Cleaver is enchanted with Sharpness V, you can deal THIRTY-FIVE damage in one hit (I think my math is right :P). If you have Bane of Arthropods or Smite, that number goes up even higher (when used on the correct mob).

A Scorpion Whip is a new combat weapon crafted with a Stick, String, and a Scorpion Projectile Barb. It has the attack damage of a Diamond Sword and the attack speed of a Netherite Axe, but can reach entities from up to ten blocks away and pulls them towards you, great for preventing enemies from fleeing.

Slingshots can be crafted using three sticks in a "Y" shape with a piece of string in the middle. You can use them to shoot Slingshot Balls, which come in four types: Heavy, Cold, Explosive, and Shrapnel-Shooting.

Heavy Balls deal twenty-five damage (12.5 hearts) when they hit an entity. Cold Balls deal ten damage (5 hearts) but make the target Freeze for two minutes. Explosive Balls deal no extra damage, but explode with the force of two end crystals. The explosions do not destroy blocks, but do damage entities. Shrapnel Balls launch many small projectiles in all directions, great for area damage.

You can also shoot Egg Sacs out of a Slingshot. These can be found occaisonally in Minecart Chests in Mineshafts. When they hit a block or entity, they will spawn three to five Cave Spiders. If the Egg Sac hit an entity, the Cave Spiders will immediately be hostile toward that entity until they die, or it does.

Buzzblade Arrows can be shot from a Bow or Crossbow, and they locate nearby hostile entities and players (not including the shooter) and steer themselves towards them. You can craft them like an arrow but with a Buzzblade Stinger Barb instead of Flint and a Buzzblade Wing instead of a Feather.

Juicy Bug Meat is a new food item. It is dropped by the mojority of the new mobs, and restores a single hunger point (half a drumstick icon) and practically no saturation. It also gives you nausea.

You can cook Juicy Bug Meat on a Campfire to obtain Crispy Bug Meat. It takes very little time to consume and restores four hunger points (two drumstick icons).

If you cook Juicy Bug Meat traditionally, like in a furnace or smoker, you will instead get Charred Bug Meat. It takes five seconds to consume (because it is so overcooked and tough and nasty) and gives you Hunger I for thirty seconds.

Four Chocolate Spiders can be crafted from an Egg Sac, four Sugar, and four Cocoa Pods. When consumed, it removes Poison, Wither, Slowness, Weakness, and Hunger.

Bug Slime Stew can be crafted from a Slimeball, a Spider Eye, Juicy Bug Meat, and a Bowl. When consumed, it applies Night Vision for five minutes and Nausea for a minute and fifteen seconds.

Egg Sacs crafted between two Bread vertically in the crafting table create Egg-Sac-Sandwiches, which apply the Saturation effect for two-and-a-half minutes.

Burdenbeetle Horn Fragments and Burdenbeetle Carapace Segments are dropped by Burdenbeetles.

End Scorpion Projectile Barbs and End Scorpion Carapace Segments are dropped by End Scorpions.

Buzzblade Stinger Barbs and Buzzblade Wings are dropped by Buzzblades.

Snow Spider Fangs are dropped by Snow Spiders.

Savannah Scuttler Fangs are dropped by Savannah Scuttlers.

The Web Separator is an item that can be crafted with a Fermented Spider Eye, a Stick, and a Savannah Scuttler Fang. It insta-mines Cobwebs and is required to open a Webbed Chest.

Exoskeleton Armor is a new armor set that is between Diamond and Netherite armor in terms of it's defense. However, each piece of armor you put on decreases the chance that you get hit with a projectile. Instead, the projectile gets deflected and flung back where it came from. It is crafted using Burdenbeetle Carapace Segements in the traditional crafting shapes. Yes, you can use trims on it.

A new Music Disc has a small chance be found in Minecart Chests in Mineshafts. Thanks to @T_en_M for the EPIC music.

In the desert, Dunedashers can spawn. They are hostile versions of the Spider, and inflict you with Hunger IV for twenty seconds.

Savannah Scuttlers are another type of spider. They are found in large groups in Savannah biomes. They are verym irritating because they can give you Poison II and Nausea II for twenty seconds. When slain, they can drop Savannah Scuttler Fangs.

In most cold biomes, Snow Spiders can spawn. They inflict you with Weakness I for fifteen seconds and make you "freeze". They drop Snowballs, String, Spider Eyes, and Snow Spider Fangs.

The Burdenbeetle is a mob that you can find in the badlands. Thanks to their tough shell, burdenbeetles deflect arrows and other projectiles. Be careful when fighting them - They are extremly strong and tough. When killed, they drop Beetle Horn Fragments and Carapace Segments.

When exploring Warped Forests, you have a chance to find Nether Scarabs. Small and fast, they are difficult to catch, but once you manage to hit it, it will probably die due to it's low health.

End Scorpions can be found patrolling the outer End islands. They rapidly fire several Scorpion Projectile Barbs out of their massive stingers when they locate a player. This makes it difficult to engage them in melee combat, but if you do, they also have a close-quaters attack in which they snap their stingers.

Buzzblades are dragonfly-like creatures that are found in jungles. Their spasmodic movement makes them tricky to kill, especially since they dart towards you and damage you before you can react. Not only that, but they spawn in large groups, making them truly formidable foes. They drop Juicy Bug Meat, Buzzblade Wings, and Buzzblade Stinger Barbs.
