A stone spear is a variant of spear crafted from cobblestone, blackstone, or cobbled deepslate. It can be used to perform slow jab attacks or held forward to deal increasing damage based on how quickly the wielder is moving. It is the fourth-highest tier of spear, dealing the same damage as a copper spear but with higher attack speed.

Usage
[edit | edit source]Attacking
[edit | edit source]Jab attack
[edit | edit source]A stone spear can be used while standing on the ground to perform a jab attack, dealing damage, and afterwards entering a recharge cooldown similar to that of an ender pearl or chorus fruit on Bedrock Edition, or a version of the normal attack cooldown on Java Edition.
Charge attack
[edit | edit source]When holding down the use key, the spear is lowered into an attack position, where colliding with a target deals damage depending on the velocity of the user, and the attack dismounts attacked targets from their mounts. After being held out for too long, the charge attack goes into a shaking state where attacks no longer dismount targets from their mounts. After even longer, the charge attack goes into a dropped down state where attacks no longer deal knockback, but still deal full damage.
