speraim

In vanilla Minecraft a spear's cooldown can begin as the weapon is raised or swung, so it often finishes before the attack connects. speraim delays the cooldown until the spear deals damage, which keeps the cycle lined up with the moment of impact and restores a steadier combat rhythm.

Spear hit detection normally runs on the server, so a player can see a hit while the server records a miss, especially on a laggy connection. speraim moves melee collision detection to the client, the same way swords work, which improves accuracy in multiplayer. Successful spear hits also apply Bedrock-style knockback, pushing the target based on attack direction, momentum and target mass, which adds tactical depth to both PvP and PvE encounters.

The mod is built for Fabric and targets 26.3 as its latest file, with 1.21.11 and 26.2 also covered. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source. It requires additional dependencies and works with spear-adding mod packs that stay compatible with vanilla mechanics.
