About Iron Spear
The Iron Spear is a melee weapon with a longer reach than a sword, so you can hit mobs while staying a little further back. It fills a similar role to a trident in melee, but as an iron-tier item it is usually easier to obtain and repair.
As it is not part of the base game, its exact damage, attack speed, and durability depend on the mod or data pack that adds it. Treat it as a reach-focused alternative to a sword.
How to get Iron Spear
In vanilla Minecraft 1.21, the Iron Spear does not exist, so it cannot be obtained. If you are playing a pack or server that adds it, check your in-game recipe book or the pack's crafting guide for the exact recipe. It is most often crafted from iron ingots and sticks, and some packs may also place it in loot chests.
