Lunge Enchantment Improvement
Lunge Enchantment Improvement reworks the Lunge enchantment on spear weapons, so that it works in water and keeps the vanilla hunger cost.
What it does
The mod overhauls the Lunge enchantment for the spear weapons added in vanilla. Lunging spends the normal amount of hunger, and the player moves one block less before being stopped by a block in the way. With Elytra in use, a Lunge gives a boost in flight instead of consuming hunger, and the spear takes extra damage when used airborne.
Lunge also works while standing in water or submerged, where it takes over the role that Riptide plays for tridents. The changes are aimed at keeping the enchantment versatile and fun while staying close to the vanilla behavior.
The mod runs on Fabric and is published for 1.21.11, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 26.3 as the latest file from 2026-09-16. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Lunge while submerged
Lunge can be used while standing in water or fully submerged, taking the place that Riptide holds for tridents.
Lunge boost with Elytra
Using Lunge while flying with Elytra gives a boost in flight in place of the hunger cost.
Shorter lunge distance
The player moves one block less during a Lunge before stopping at a blocked position.
Airborne spear damage
A spear used during an airborne Lunge takes extra durability damage, so flight strikes carry a cost.

Use cases
Spear combat
Players who use spears in fights can rely on Lunge as a mobility option while keeping hunger costs at the vanilla level.
Water travel
Lunge can move a player through or out of water, where Riptide would otherwise be the only option for tridents.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want the Lunge enchantment on spears to behave differently from vanilla in water and during flight, on Fabric 26.3 and related versions.
