Swords are a good weapon and all but there needs to be more, first of all this idea will consider the range of meleeing with swords or punching be less because these other weapons will have different ranges
Spears: They replace the melee range of the sword or punching but have slightly less damage than a sword, they can be thrown but it will wear the weapon down faster and can be picked up by the enemy.
Knives: Short range melee and with minimal damage but it will do extreme ammounts of damage if your attacking from behind within 10 seconds of being hit so if your hit and knife from behind right away it will do normal damage due to the fact that you can cheap shot, critical hits only work from behind, can be thrown but will break down faster if thrown and can be picked up by enemies.
Heavy Axe: Can chop down trees like a normal axe but has slightly less damage than the sword and the melee range of a sword, however it lasts longer than a sword due to the fact that its double sided.
I understand that these weapons already exist in mods but it would be nice to have these in vanilla minecraft, at least then there is more fighting variety instead of just "Whoever has the better weapons or armor wins" sort of thing.
