poking stick

idea to poking stick came when I was playing with spears in game, for some reason I cant figure out really, at times they just deal knockback and no damage (not even red tint to mobs hit, just sharpness particles and mob is thrown away form me without damage dealt), but this isnt about how spear seems to work inconsistently
idea of item that would only deal damage could be fun and also useful at times, so idea is basically making spear that deals no damage at all but is used like one (maybe excluding ability to dismount riders as killing riders before mount is supposed to be sort of challenge, I guess), it could be used by players at minigames or just messing around with without killing each other or to move mobs around safely, or even as very early side-tool used to keep hostile mobs away from you, which you already can do with wooden spear so it shouldnt be necessarily "broken" part of this item
crafting could be done just of 3 sticks, it could have durability or not, only enchantments working on it could be lunge and knockback, unbreaking and mending if it would have durability then, durability should exceed wooden and maybe even stone spear given how it would be likely used
it would use same animation like spear then
