[QUOTE="Admin, post: 68728, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/minecraft']Minecraft[/URL] has announced a major new game update, Mounts of Mayhem, that will be spearheaded by the addition of... the spear! The sharp-tipped stick is the first new weapon added to Minecraft in some time, and the first new tiered item — one that is available in progressively more durable variants — added since the hoe, back in 2010. After so long jabbing at skeletons with a sword, you might wonder why the spear is being added now. Well, thankfully it sounds like there will be some interesting new gameplay possibilities as a result of the spear's addition, and in particular: jousting. As in real life, you'll be able to wield your nearest spear on foot, or on your nearest horse, which is where part of that Mounts of Mayhem title comes in. The other part? Well, that comes from the fact that it isn't just [I]you [/I]getting to play around with a spear... Mounted Zombies (who also now ride Zombie Horses) will get spears also. In an update [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEHc8jrcc6g']video[/URL] revealing the spear's mechanics, developer Mojang explained that the weapon can be used for slow, long-range jabs or stronger charge attacks that deal damage based on how fast a player is moving. On horseback, at a gallop, your spear is going to do significant damage to any enemy standing in your path. However, the same is presumably true of those Mounted Zombies. Crafting or upgrading your spear using different materials will allow you to create a bog-standard wooden spear, but also fancier golden, stone, copper, iron, diamond and even Netherite alternatives. However, while the item's durability might increase, fancier materials will be heavier — making the spear's attacks slower. It's an interesting trade-off. Mojang has confirmed that your mounted combat can extend underwater, via Mounts of Mayhem's new tamable aquatic mob, the Nautilus. You can even wield spears while soaring through the skies with Elytra wings.
