Spears are now affected by Strength and Weakness effects, making them viable options as weapons.

Now with strength applied, the Spear can be a powerful yet not overpowered weapon—— cheaper and less lethal than a mace, yet greater than the sword if utilized well.
This mod does not buff the spear's kinetic damage or add any additional buffs, it only changes a method call so that the spear's base damage is affected by strength and weakness.
Elytra-spear pops an opponent in full protection 4 netherite at 11 HP
Comboing an opponent with spear's charge using strength 2 can do 2 to 3 HP per hit.
Lunge-elytraing followed by spear's charge attack, with strength II applied, can deal 8 HP of damage (4 hearts)
Spearing on horseback with strength II can deal 4-5 HP (2-2.5 hearts) per hit.
