PLEASE COMMENT FEEDBACK!!!!!! It helps me so much as a developer, please tell me what you like/dislike about the mod!
Simple Spears adds the spear - a mechanically similar item to the trident. Spears do less melee damage than tridents, but do double the thrown damage of its melee value (e.g. diamond spear does 6 melee damage, does 12 thrown damage).
Spears have each of the 6 vanilla material variants, and I plan to add mod compat if people show interest in the mod.
SS also introduces a new enchantment, Spiraling. It essentially functions as power, for the damage of the spear (or trident). For every level of spiraling (going up to 5), it adds another heart (or 2 damage) to the thrown damage value of your spear/trident (not the melee damage).



Pros and Cons
can be enchanted with Sharpness (as well as BoA and Smite), Fire Aspect, and Looting. Spears also retain the ability to have Loyalty.
deal double the thrown damage of their melee values
can be crafted
cannot be enchanted with channeling, impaling, or riptide
have lower melee damage and attack speed than tridents
