Craft and Use Spears and Hammers

Crafting Spears

Spears are craftable weapons that function as ranged or melee tools. Combine a stick or pole with a sharp material (such as iron, diamond, or custom materials) in the appropriate crafting pattern. Spears offer extended reach compared to swords and can be thrown or used in close combat depending on your playstyle.

Using Spears Effectively

Spears deal moderate damage and have a longer attack range than swords. They're particularly useful for keeping distance from dangerous mobs. Some spear variants may have special properties based on their material tier.

Crafting the Iron Hammer

The Iron Hammer is a heavy two-handed weapon crafted from iron blocks and sticks. It deals significant damage and applies powerful knockback to enemies, making it excellent for crowd control and launching mobs away from you.

Hammer Combat Strategy

Use the Iron Hammer's knockback to separate dangerous mobs or push enemies away from allies. The knockback effect makes it ideal for defending against groups, though the slower attack speed means it's less efficient for single-target damage compared to swords. Pair it with armor for maximum survivability.
