Spears
Spears adds a spear weapon to Fabric builds for 1.21.1, with a charged attack that deals damage based on horizontal speed.
What it does
The mod is a quick recreation of the spears that Minecraft's upcoming update introduces, and the author built it after a livestream about those spears. Players hold right click to charge the weapon, and the strike's damage depends on the horizontal speed of the player at the moment of the hit. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later, which makes it open source with public source code.
Key features
Charged spear attack
Holding right click charges the spear before a strike, so the attack is timed rather than instant.
Speed-based damage
The damage dealt scales with the player's horizontal speed when the spear hits a target.
Recreation of upcoming spears
The weapon follows the design of Minecraft's new spears as previewed in a livestream, built as a fan recreation.
