So this is what we think spears might do...
You can though them like you fire bows. To make them it might be 2 sticks then 1 flint at the end.
You might be able to get back your spear and if hits mob it stays there until you retrieve it or it kills the mob.
So let me know what you think of this idea. Please vote in the poll.
In real life and in RPGs, I am a huge advocate of spears as weapons. However, in the world of Minecraft, we have melee weapons and we have a ranged weapon, and function is really what's important in tool distinctions. Adding another weapons, even one that serves both purposes, isn't really a good allocation of resources.
And practically speaking, throwing a spear isn't a great idea anyway in this game anyway. There really isn't a tactical need for this feature. Although, as a harpoon for hunting whales, that might be useful...

When 1.8 was released with the charged arrows the spears seemed a bit a pointless, I always kinda thought that.
But the harpoon idea does sound good.

Curse PremiumI C WUT U DID THAR...
And putting an oversized imagine of a "spear" isn't exactly the best way to support it...
And what's this about "Shears" in the poll....?
Nonetheless, I really disagree with this idea.
you should put use more ignores instead of creepers in your sig
OT:Spears have been overly suggested
