📋 About This Mod

**Note: Porting this mod to older versions will take a while! This is because of how the original spear code is written. It needs to be completely rewritten for versions before 1.21 for it to even work!** This mod attempts to accurately backport the spears added in the upcoming Mounts of Mayhem update. From the spears themselves, to technical changes that came with them. I am aware that some of the animations here are not 1:1 with the official ones, but I will likely update them to be more accurate when Mounts of Mayhem releases _Compatibility:_ -Resource packs for 1.21.11 that change the texture, sound effects or localization of spears will also work here -Datapacks that use item components added by 1.21.11 will likely work as long as this mod in installed -Better Combat: overrides the spear animation this mod adds for the spears _Config:_ -spear_charge_attacks: allows spears to perform their right-click charge ability (true by default) -spear_stabbing_animation: makes spears play different attack animation (true by default, false if Better Combat is installed) -tridents_use_spear_attack_animation: makes tridents also use the spear stabbing animation (false by default) **Miscellaneous:** _Advancements:_ -Mob Kabob: Hit five mobs with any spear in one charge attack Enchantments: -Lunge: Spears propel the user forward _Technical Changes:_ -"piercing_weapon", "kinetic_weapon", "use_effects", "swing_animation", "attack_range" and "minimum_attack_charge" item components have been backported -"post_piercing_attack" enchantment component have been backported -"apply_impulse" and "apply_exhaustion" enchantment effects have been backported -"spear_mobs" advancement criterion have been backported
