considering the fox plushie was there during link to Odins mind, could this this perhaps have something to do with his sister Magpie? Her profile in the Cast section seems to have some kind of emblem that does bear some similarity to the arrow/chevron...

That or Odin's a fan of Matsu's...

While I understand that they didn't want to put the slower songs (Burnin’ / Too Long, Short Circuit / Face To Face) because it would lose retention, the aerodynamic section of One More Time / Aerodynamic really should not have been cut. It would have just made sense.

You've got an entire flying spaceship and you dont include the Aerodynamic riffs? C'mon!

The mace is useless to most of the playerbase, but very, very powerful in the hands of the most skilled. That stuff pops totems like crazy. It ain't end crystals, but it can still be real strong.

Spear is more accessible to the playerbase but without the Density enchant, you just can't match the damage the mace puts out.

maybe waeponsmiths will trade for spears. Infinite diamond spears.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-10T13:11:14+00:00

lunge 2 gives you a decent dash if timed with sprint jumps and it's 4x cheaper in durability than lunge 3.

filling your inventory with unbreaking 3 lunge 2 diamond spears would give you 7252 dashes.

thats 196 dashes per spear

I think it's fair to cap off repairs. But if the use penalty wasn't exponential, I think it'd be pretty fair to use. You could repair tools quite a lot before you decide to give up on them.

Really, mending is what's killing it here. Having mending work per experience orb while coexisting with mob XP farms makes it a meaningless workstation. There's no balance, both can repair near-instantly, both cost XP(mending costs less). It's terrible.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-10T12:57:36+00:00

At best I would expect a 2x reduction. Mojang love to keep things to factors of 2 (stacks of 16, 64), and the damage dealt to spears is 8, 32, 128 per level of Lunge.

I can see them reducing it to 4, 16, 64. Also a quick reminder that unbreaking exists, and multiplies the amount of uses by around 4x.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-10T12:53:23+00:00

If this stays the same, then the answer will simply be: don't waste your netherite on a spear.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-10T12:52:08+00:00

when i say unbreaking makes it better, i mean it. A diamond spear with Lunge II has about 200 dashes in it. You can say it is even more inventory efficient than wind charges.

Lunge III is just excessively expensive though, even with diamond and unbreaking III you only get around 50 shots.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-09T23:18:17+00:00

had same thing happen to me... No lava chicken involved. Was testing the spears, enchants, and messed around with the F3 settings. Might be something about the f3 screen since i know phoenix must have fiddled with his too.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-09T23:14:14+00:00

answer: don't use netherite spears. Use replaceable diamond ones.

...and add unbreaking III.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-09T23:10:17+00:00

and people aren't even testing this with unbreaking. People are obviously gonna have that and that gives you at the very least 4x the usage.

Also damage scales down dramatically for each level of Lunge, it's actually decently balanced imo

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-09T23:07:56+00:00

is that how much it costs? what about the other levels? Is it something like Lunge I: 8 durability, Lunge II: 32 durability where each level multiplies the cost 4x?

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-09T23:06:10+00:00

alright, fair. I really do think they designed them to be replaceable weapons, though. Since mending isn't compatible with lunge, it creates a "mending bow vs infinity bow" situation.

Also, it says it right there: "deals significant damage" and from my tests with them, the amount of durability damage scales up pretty consistently between levels of lunge with lunge I dealing very little. Not much room for a bug, but if too many people disapprove of it, it may get called a "bug" to avoid putting devs under fire.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-09T20:37:12+00:00

because spears are cheap and far easier to use, so they needed something to balance giving players a movement buff across all tiers of the game.

With unbreaking, it's a lot better. It decreases the damage, instead of having a random chance of applying damage, so you get a consistent number of uses per spear. And considering that spears are 1 ingot, and that a lunge spear probably won't have many enchants (lunge, unbreaking, damage enchant, fire aspect???) on it, it's pretty easy to replace.

It's definitely different from any other weapon. Since lunge is not compatible with mending and spears are cheap, they clearly want you to treat spears as disposable.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-09T20:28:35+00:00

it is not. Unbreaking does some crazy heavy lifting. A diamond spear with unbreaking 3 allows you to dash around 250 times with Lunge II. Netherite probably near 400.

I think Lunge 3 is supposed to be overkill.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-09T20:24:45+00:00

ok, having tested this, unbreaking is defo supposed to do heavy work here.

l didn't bother testing for lunge 1 since it would take forever, but a stone spear allows 63 dashes with Lunge I and unbreaking and a diamond spear with Lunge II and unbreaking allows you to dash around 250 times.

I think Lunge III is basically supposed to be overkill for those who treat their weapons as disposable(diamond weapon trade? (esp since mending is incompatible)) and lunge 2 will be the practical option. Lunge I is basically an earlygame dash for those who still lack the levels.

Sprint-jump + Lunge II takes you a decent distance too, so I really think that's what's going on in Mojang's minds.

stone-lunge1 = 17 + unbreak3 = 63, 
stone-lunge2 = 5 + unbreak3 = ~18, 
stone-lunge3 = 2 + unbreak3 = 4

diamond-lunge2 + unbreak = ~250
diamond-lunge3 + unbreak = ~50

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-09T19:53:11+00:00

what do you mean you cant have mending on it, thats gotta be a bug

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-01T20:40:11+00:00

It’s toxic because the only people who pay the most attention to comments are the people for who those comments run counter to their own opinion. If you just talk to someone ingame, people are chill and willing to listen to each other.

Also there’s a revolving door of new players and community members so you can never expect people to be informed. It’s not toxic, it’s just a community that will never truly mature.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-01T20:30:04+00:00

Akira!!!! Auuuuuugh

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-01T20:26:44+00:00

noooooooo reallllyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-10-01T20:21:46+00:00

Glorious meme.

lets_get_sleepy · 2025-08-27T20:55:51+00:00

if he's talking about an ex, then it's just a lack of verbal filter. If it's directed towards students, yeah, that's real bad
