The highly anticipated Mounts of Mayhem update for Minecraft is set to be the final significant release of 2025, and it promises to deliver an array of exciting new features. Among these is the introduction of a brand new spear weapon, which comes equipped with the exclusive Lunge enchantment. This enchantment not only enhances the spear’s capabilities but also introduces a unique challenge for players. For those eager to learn how to acquire the Lunge enchantment and understand its mechanics, the following guide provides essential insights.
How to Get Lunge Enchantment in Minecraft
Players can obtain the Lunge enchantment through traditional enchanting methods, specifically via the enchanting table or enchanted books.
1. Using the Enchanting Table
To begin, you will need to craft an Enchanting table, which requires Obsidian blocks, diamonds, and a book. Once you have your enchanting table ready, follow these steps:
- Place your spear in the left cell and a Lapis Lazuli in the right cell beneath the book.
- Three enchantment options will appear on the right side, one of which may include the Lunge enchantment.
- If you see the Lunge enchantment, click on it to apply it to your spear, ensuring you have sufficient experience points.
Alternatively, you can substitute the spear with an enchanted book, although the likelihood of obtaining the Lunge enchantment through this method is reduced.
2. From Enchanted Books
The second method to acquire the Lunge enchantment involves enchanted books, which can be obtained through fishing in various water bodies or by trading with Librarian villagers.
To enhance your chances of securing enchanted books while fishing, consider enchanting your fishing rod with the Luck of the Sea enchantment, which increases the quality and rarity of your catches.
Additionally, visiting an Expert or Master Librarian can provide better trade options, allowing you to acquire the Lunge enchantment more efficiently by exchanging emeralds.
What Does Lunge Enchantment Do in Minecraft
The Lunge enchantment bestows your spear with a remarkable ability: each Jab attack propels you forward horizontally, enabling a swift, controlled dash attack. However, this powerful enchantment comes with a significant trade-off. Players will experience a considerable reduction in hunger and saturation while executing these jabs. Here’s a closer look at how the jab attacks function after applying the Lunge enchantment:
- Each jab propels you forward by a distance of (0.458 x Lunge enchantment level) blocks per tick.
- At Lunge Level 1, you will lose 1.5 hunger points per attack; at Level 2, the loss increases to 2 hunger points, and Level 3 results in a reduction of 2.5 hunger points.
- Your food saturation will deplete before your hunger points, allowing for a maximum of seven lunges with full saturation using the Lunge Level 3 enchantment.
- To achieve the greatest distance, ensure you are facing perfectly horizontal and avoid looking up or down.
- Note that the spear’s dash attack will not activate while riding a mount, using an Elytra to fly, or submerged underwater.
The Lunge enchantment is poised to transform combat strategies within Minecraft, inviting players to explore innovative techniques such as swiftly closing distances to engage enemies and evading attacks through dynamic movement. The excitement surrounding this new weapon and its capabilities in the Mounts of Mayhem update is palpable, and players are eager to dive into this fresh experience.
