PLEASE COMMENT FEEDBACK!!!!!! It helps me so much as a developer, please tell me what you like/dislike about the mod!
Simple Spears adds the spear - a mechanically similar item to the trident. Spears do less melee damage than tridents, but do double the thrown damage of its melee value (e.g. diamond spear does 6 melee damage, does 12 thrown damage).
Spears have each of the 6 vanilla material variants, and I plan to add mod compat if people show interest in the mod.
SS also introduces a new enchantment, Spiraling. It essentially functions as power, for the damage of the spear (or trident). For every level of spiraling (going up to 5), it adds another heart (or 2 damage) to the thrown damage value of your spear/trident (not the melee damage).
Pros and Cons:
+ can be enchanted with Sharpness (as well as BoA and Smite), Fire Aspect, and Looting. Spears also retain the ability to have Loyalty.
+ deal double the thrown damage of their melee values
+ can be crafted
- cannot be enchanted with channeling, impaling, or riptide
- have lower melee damage and attack speed than tridents
