The spear will be added to Minecraft as part of the "Mounts of Mayhem" update, which is confirmed to launch later in 2025. This update introduces the spear as the first new tiered weapon in over 15 years, available in multiple material variants such as wood, stone, copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite. The spear features unique attacks, including a jab and charge attack, with special mechanics like extended reach and a new Lunge enchantment. The update is expected during the holiday season of 2025, following the Copper Age update released on September 30, 2025.
The spear is already available in snapshot versions, allowing players to test its mechanics. The crafting recipe for the spear involves two sticks placed diagonally and a material at the top for the spearhead. Zombies, husks, zombified piglins, and piglins can spawn with spears, and the weapon introduces new combat dynamics for both PvE and PvP scenarios.
In summary, Minecraft players can expect the official release of the spear weapon in the Mounts of Mayhem game drop later in 2025, likely around the holiday season.
