Introduction Lances are polearms that vary in size and shape. And when used right. Are extremely powerful weapons that can demolish your foe on the battle ground. Usually used when riding a horse to get better acceleration and build up more speed. The type of lance this datapack introduces is the Jousting lance.

Stats

Lances have the exact same Attack Damage as a normal sword. Though are way slower than one. Having 1 Attack Speed. 0.6 Lower than a normal sword. So using this weapon in normal combat is not your best choice. But the debuffs it has it makes up in its most important trait. Acceleration & speed build up. Lances deal more damage depending on how much you sprint for. Jump sprinting and walking will not work. The more you sprint the more damage you'll deal. Which goes in 3 stages. To move on to the next stage you need to run at least 5 blocks increasing each stage. In every stage your lance will deal 33% more damage. With the max damage you can reach 100% more damage. Basically doubling your damage.

Traits

Accelerating II - Sprinting in a straight direction grants more damage as you accelerate

Two Handed I - Drastically reduces attack speed when holding a shield

Trivia

• Having to run to accelerate does prevent you from doing critical hits. So you can't do 100% more damage and have the 50% damage buff from the critical hit. Making accelerating not worth it if you are not going for 66% damage and above
• Lances are used on horses to have faster acceleration. Which is an extra reason to have a horse. [​CURRENTLY DOESN'T WORK WITH HORSES AND VEHICLES]

Advancements

• Set.. - Reach 66% acceleration boost.

Rapiers are somewhat long swords that have alot of different versions of that same weapon. Used by alot of factions. And have many different fighting styles depending on its type. Like slashing, Thrusting and such. The one this datapack adds is the Fencing Rapier.

Stats

Fencing rapiers have a narrow thrusting blade. If you can even call it a blade? as it doesn't have sharp edges and its only way of properly damage is the pointy edge at the end of it. Being narrow makes this blade easy to carry. Increasing the attack speed of it to 2 Attack Speed. 0.4 more than a nomral sword. Though, Not having an edge and being this thin does debuff it. And reduces its critical damage output by 60%, That's -60% critical hit damage. (the critical damage boost is turned into 20% more damage)

The LongBow is one of the most simple bows out there. Was used alot in the medieval era. Unlike a casual bow. LongBows are somewhat more flat than recurved. Allowing it to shoot arrows way further than a normal bow would. At the cost of some of the acceleration of the arrow shot. a Fair Bargain.

Stats

LongBows as the name suggests. Have a way longer projectile traveling distance. Making Arrows shot by it travel 50% further than a normal bow. Of course at the cost of losing -10% of the overall damage. Longbows can be hard to aim with if not used to it. Especially that the way minecraft works. It is hard polishing this bow due to how weird arrows motion works. So forgive if the arrow takes a bit to register. It is true out of my hand :P

Traits

• Longbows do not have any noted traits -

Trivia

• Longbows were planned to have slightly longer drawing speed. But an efficient way of doing so doesn't exist. So it was scrapped.
• When you shoot an arrow with a longbow it may seem like it travels like a normal arrow. Because minecraft has problems with registering motion quickly. So don't worry it does travel far its just a visual bug from mc.
