StrengthSpears
by Lazullien
StrengthSpears changes how the Strength and Weakness status effects apply to spear weapons on Fabric servers.
What it does
Under vanilla rules, Strength and Weakness scale melee damage, but the spear's charge attack ignores them, which leaves the charge attack of little use for a character with those effects. StrengthSpears applies both effects to the spear's base damage and to its kinetic damage, so a strong player with a spear hits harder and a weakened player hits softer. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and the source code is public under the MIT License, making it open source.
The mod adds no new items or recipes. It also adds no extra buffs; it only changes which method the game calls when a spear hits, so the effect logic stays inside the existing spear behavior. Files target 1.21.11 – 26.2, and the latest build, 1.0.0, was published for 26.2 on 2026-06-23.
Key features
Strength on spear base damage
Strength and Weakness now change the base damage a spear deals, not only the sword and mace damage.
Charge attack affected
The spear's charge attack responds to Strength and Weakness, so the effects matter when charging.
Kinetic damage adjusted
The spear's kinetic damage is also scaled by the status effects, using the existing damage method.

What the author says
Spears are now affected by Strength and Weakness effects, making them viable options as weapons. In vanilla, the Spear's charge attack isn't affected by strength or weakness, making it quite useless. Now with strength applied, the Spear can be a powerful yet not overpowered weapon—— cheaper and less lethal than a…
