Understand How Spear Models Change During Combat

Spear Animation States

Unlike static tools, spears in this mod feature custom models that shift between different positions depending on whether you're holding them passively or actively using them.

Observing the Spear

1. Equip a spear in your main hand while standing still.

2. Notice the model's resting position—this is how the spear appears when you're not attacking.

3. Hold down the attack button (left-click) or prepare to thrust to trigger the combat grip.

4. The spear model will transition into its active combat stance.

5. Release the button to return to the resting position.

6. Switch to third-person view (F5) to see how these poses look to other players.

Why This Matters

The spear's dual-state design makes combat feel more dynamic and responsive. The resting model keeps the weapon out of your view when exploring, while the combat model shows an aggressive ready position during fights. This smooth transition between states is unique to spears and demonstrates how the mod adapts tool appearance to gameplay context.
