Technnare's Simple Spears
by Technnare
Technnare's Simple Spears is a Fabric data pack that adds simpler spears to Minecraft before they reach the official release, for players who want longer-reaching tiered weapons.
What it does
The data pack adds spears in wood, stone, iron-equivalent, golden, diamond and netherite tiers, along with a bone spear crafted from bone. Stone spears use cobblestone, cobbled deepslate or blackstone, and wood spears take three sticks, following the recipes shown in Minecraft Live. The spears are meant to hit farther than swords without the balance problems that stronger reach can cause.
The pack also adds a charge enchantment, which raises damage in proportion to the velocity of the attack, and a lunge enchantment, which both appear in the enchanting setup. Spears and enchantments can only be obtained in creative mode through commands, so survival players see no change to their progression unless the server grants them. The pack is aimed at people who want faster attacks and tiered weapons without waiting for a release.
Server owners need to run the data pack on the server. Players only need the resource pack for the spear models, which is installed alongside the data pack folder. The spear assets do not load correctly with Fabric for an unknown reason, so the look of the spears may differ on Fabric clients, and the author has noted this as an open problem.
Key features
Tiered spear set
Spears come in wood, stone, iron-equivalent, golden, diamond and netherite tiers, plus a bone spear.
