In medieval times, spears were the most used weapon since it was the best for combat and was cheaper to make. It was made from a lot of materials like wood, stone, iron... the same as the rest of the tools in Minecraft.
I think having spears would be cool. Of course these shouldn't replace the trident and should have some drawbacks to keep the swords and the axe useful. Spears should have around the same damage as the axes but would have 2 ways of using it and it would have 2 "modes":
You can use it as a melee weapon, having a long range and an attack speed between an axe and a sword, or you can throw it, being similar to the trident.
In case you have something in your offhand, you wouldn't be able to throw it and the attack speed of the spear would be reduced to a speed similar to the axe and damage would also get reduced by 1 or 2 points.
When a shield is used against a spear, the spear would get disabled for a few seconds (probably between 2-4) maybe as well as the opponents shield.
The spear could probably have lower durability than other tools and would also lose damage in close combat (1-2 blocks away), but it would have a new mechanic: it would ignore a small percentage of the armor (probably between 10-20%).
It would have some new enchantments. One that ignores a bigger percentage of the armor (could also be Piercing or Breach), one that gives more damage (or could be the same enchantments as the sword or bow), and maybe some others enchantments like Fire Aspect/Flame.
