crafting table

The spear is a new weapon in Minecraft introduced in the Mounts of Mayhem update, positioned between the sword and the trident. It allows for both Jab and Charge attacks, providing versatility in combat. To craft a spear, players need 2 sticks and one of the following: wooden planks, stone blocks, or various ingots (copper, iron, gold, diamond, or netherite). The crafting process involves placing one stick in the bottom-left corner, another in the center, and the chosen material in the top-right corner of a crafting table. The Jab attack is a standard close-range strike with a cooldown period, while the Charge attack builds momentum for increased damage and can knock back or dismount opponents when mounted on an animal. Higher-tier spears deal more damage but have longer cooldowns. Players can also perform Charge attacks while using an Elytra or traveling in Minecarts or boats on icy surfaces. Various enchantments, including Lunge, can enhance the spear's capabilities.
