Spear - damage dealt is based on the speed you are going when you hit

The spear is a new weapon, similar to the mace in having proportional damage. The damage dealt by the spear is based on the speed at which you hit. With the introduction of the mace, we see a new proportional damage based on fall distance.

The spear’s swing speed is the same or slower than that an axe. Actions such as sprinting, riding a horse, or gliding with an elytra can significantly increase the spear’s damage output.

This weapon could be crafted uniquely, similar to the mace, or it could follow standard crafting recipes using materials like wood, gold, iron, diamond, and netherite.
