The spear is an exciting weapon in the
0:02
new Minecraft update. This video is the
0:05
ultimate enchanting guide for the spear
0:06
in Minecraft, the best enchantments for
0:08
it, and why. First of all, we have two
0:11
essential enchantments that I would
0:13
highly recommend putting on your spear
0:14
regardless of the other ones. Unbreaking
0:17
and mending. These are both durability
0:19
enchantments. Unbreaking makes it take
0:20
longer for the spear to break and lose
0:22
durability in general, and mending
0:24
allows you to repair the spear's
0:26
durability with experience orbs, which
0:28
is awesome. This makes it so you will
0:29
basically never break your trusty
0:31
weapon. Now that we got that out of the
0:33
way, let's go over the exciting
0:35
enchantments. First of all, we got the
0:36
damage enhancers. These come in five
0:39
levels: sharpness, smite, and bane of
0:41
arthropods. You might notice that these
0:43
are quite similar to the swords
0:44
enchantments. And you would be right.
0:46
Let's start with sharpness. Sharpness
0:47
increases the spear's damage to all
0:49
entities and mobs, increasing the damage
0:52
with each new level of sharpness. Smite
0:54
is another enchantment which increases
0:56
the spear's damage to mainly undead
0:58
mobs. But the damage that you do to
1:00
undead mobs with smite will be higher
1:02
than the same damage you would have
1:04
gotten from sharpness. Now, bane of
1:05
arthropods only works on like five mobs
1:07
and is completely useless. So, we can
1:09
toss that one away. The real question,
1:11
since sharpness and smite are mutually
1:13
exclusive and can't be put on the same
1:15
spear, which enchantment between these
1:17
two is the best one? Sharpness gives you
1:19
all-around versatility, while smite
1:20
allows you to absolutely disrespect
1:22
common undead mobs like zombies, making
1:24
it a much more useful specialized focus.
1:27
Well, I'd say the one you should choose
1:29
depends on the enchantment you have on
1:30
your sword. Let's say you have a
1:32
sharpness five [music] sword, put smite
1:34
5 on the spear. If you have a smite five
1:35
sword, put sharpness five on the spear.
1:37
This way, you aren't redundant and have
1:39
two melee weapons with the same
1:40
enchantment. You now get the benefits of
1:42
both. But if you're using a spear alone
1:45
without a sword in your arsenal, [music]
1:46
which is a weird choice, but all right,
1:48
then I would recommend just putting
1:50
smite 5 because most common annoying
1:52
melee mobs in the game are undead, like
1:55
zombies, wither skeletons, etc. So, due
1:57
to the spear's range of attack, it will
1:59
be really effective at keeping these
2:01
melee mobs at bay, especially if you're
2:03
a newer player. Next up, we got the perk
2:05
enchantments. These basically add
2:07
special abilities to the spear that you
2:09
wouldn't get normally. These are
2:10
looting, knockback, lunge, and fire
2:13
aspect. Looting is another sword
2:15
enchantment added to the spear that
2:16
comes in three levels. Basically, it has
2:19
no effect on the damage or combat with
2:21
the spear. It will simply increase the
2:23
amount of drops and rare items that you
2:25
get from mobs when you [music] kill
2:26
them. For example, when you kill a
2:27
skeleton, you will get more bones and
2:29
arrows. Or when you kill a widow
2:31
skeleton, you'll have a higher chance of
2:33
getting a widow skull. Things like that.
2:34
This is incredibly useful just for
2:36
survival in general. So, since you do
2:38
have the option, might as well put
2:39
looting three on the spear. Next up, we
2:41
got knockback coming in at two levels.
2:44
This one's simple. It simply knocks back
2:46
mobs further when you hit them with the
2:48
spear's jab. Now, given the nature of
2:50
the spear as being a long range melee
2:52
weapon that can hit an attack on mobs
2:54
out of your reach, knockback is actually
2:55
an incredibly useful enchantment. When
2:57
you use knockback, you are keeping the
2:59
advantage in your hands as every mob and
3:01
player you hit will be knocked back. So,
3:03
none of them will be able to get close
3:05
enough to actually hit you while you're
3:07
still able to hit them. So, make sure to
3:09
add knockback two to your spear as well.
3:11
After that, we got lunge coming in at
3:13
three levels. This is a unique spear
3:15
enchantment that no other weapon in the
3:17
game has. And the [music] way it works
3:19
is pretty awesome. Basically, the way
3:20
you use the spear usually is jabbing by
3:23
pressing your use button, but Lunge
3:25
actually adds a secondary dash attack to
3:27
the spear when you press the attack
3:29
button, which is really awesome. This
3:31
dash attack does a good amount of damage
3:33
and can be used as a quick one-two punch
3:35
when combined with the jab attack to
3:37
quickly finish off mobs. You don't even
3:39
have to use [music] it to attack. You
3:40
could also just use the dash to escape a
3:42
tight situation or gain extra space on
3:44
your enemy if you need to. It's super
3:46
versatile, so I would recommend putting
3:48
lunge three on your spear too. And the
3:50
next enchantment on our list is fire
3:52
aspect coming in at two [music] levels.
3:54
This enchantment will set a blaze to any
3:56
target that you hit, adding some extra
3:58
damage over time on top of the spear's
4:00
usual damage. This is just free extra
4:02
damage, which is super useful in my
4:03
opinion. So, I would definitely
4:05
recommend putting fire aspect two on
4:07
your spear, too. So, just to recap, the
4:09
best enchantments [music] for a spear in
4:10
Minecraft are as follows: unbreaking
4:12
three, mending, either sharpness five or
4:14
smite 5. Again, opposite of the one you
4:17
have on [music] your sword, looting
4:18
three, knockback two, lunge three, and
4:20
fire aspect two. If you guys did enjoy
