Minecraft has finally given a gift to those who have been asking for a melee weapon for a long time – with the latest update, a spear has appeared in the game. PC Gamer Portal speakHow to make it and how it differs from other weapons.

To craft a spear, you need two sticks and spear tip material. Place one stick in the lower left corner of the workbench, the middle one in the center square, and the tip material in the upper right corner. They must be placed diagonally; If you place the material vertically, you will get a shovel instead of a spear.
Like any other tool in Minecraft, the spear can be crafted from many different materials. Currently, spear tips can be made from:
- plant
- Stone
- Medi
- gland
- Yellow
- Almazov
- Nezer people
Netherite Spear cannot be crafted on the workbench as usual. Players need to collect a diamond spear, then combine it with a netherite ingot and an upgrade set at the smithing table. The process is exactly the same as when converting any other diamond tool into netherite.
The spear, unlike many other weapons in Minecraft, offers a variety of attacks. By left-clicking, you can perform a quick attack, and its damage is mainly affected by the type of material. But if you press and hold the right mouse button, the attack can be charged – this will deal more damage and push back the mob, or even throw it off the saddle if you are fighting a knight.
