A datapack that removes the minimum reach of all vanilla spears through a very cheap smithing table recipe.
Don't you hate when a monster gets right up in your face, but your spear can't hit it because of the vanilla minimum range?
Well, fear no more! I got so annoyed by this mechanic that I made a datapack to fix it.
Simply place your favorite spear, a stick, and a piece of leather into a smithing table.
Why? Because I don't know how to do it differently. :D
No damage buffs. No reach buffs. No attack speed changes. Just no more awkward dead zone.
Tested and working on 26.2
