Key facts
- Lunge enchantment added with the Mounts of Mayhem update, exclusive to spears.

Installation & dependencies
To obtain the Lunge enchantment, players can use an enchanting table crafted from obsidian, diamonds, and a book. By placing a spear in the table's left slot with Lapis Lazuli, players might find Lunge among the enchantments offered, though experience levels are required. Alternatively, enchanted books featuring the Lunge enchantment can be fished or traded from villagers, where Luck of the Sea can improve fishing odds.
Impact / What's Next
Lunge adds versatility to combat in Minecraft, enabling players to shorten distances with a dash during Jab attacks. However, managing hunger becomes crucial as repeated use prolongs food consumption, demanding strategic resource allocation. Spear users must balance this powerful movement with the cost, especially in intensive combat scenarios.
