Minecraft version 1.21.11, titled Mounts of Mayhem, introduces a new weapon: the spear. The spear features a standard jab and a charged attack, inflicting half the damage of an axe but allowing players to engage enemies from a mount. To craft a spear, players need two sticks and a mineral (diamond or iron) arranged in the crafting grid. The spear is compatible with mounts like horses, camels, and the new Nautilus, enabling mounted attacks. Various mobs can spawn wielding a spear, including Zombies, Husks, Zombie horsemen, Camel husk jockeys (with iron spears), Piglins, and Zombified piglins (with golden spears). Players can also use the spear while flying with Elytra wings.
