Quarter Staff

The Quarter Staff would be a blunt weapon, dealing no significant damage, but could offer range, and knock back instead. It would be a long wood stick, and could be upgraded(reinforced) with iron. It could come with an interesting movement mechanic, pole vaulting, allowing you to jump a 1 or 1/2 blocks higher, and allow you to jump further as a result. It could be enchanted with mending and unbreaking.
