Everything to know about the lunge enchantment in Minecraft

In Minecraft snapshot 25w41a, the new lunge enchantment was introduced, which is a spear-exclusive powerup that allows players to dash forward when performing a jab attack.

When the jab attack is executed while on the ground, the player will move a bit towards the direction of the enchanted spear. They will, however, dash a few blocks ahead when they will perform a jab attack in the air.

This means that if players are stationary, they will only move half a block ahead. However, if they are in the air, either by falling from a high place or jumping on a spot, they will dash several blocks ahead. This mid-air dash will feel similar to how camels dash when pressing the jump button.

It is worth noting that in order to cover the maximum distance by dashing, the spear should be completely horizontal and parallel to the ground.

The new lunge enchantment comes with three levels, each increasing the power of the dash movement. It is worth noting that each dash movement with the spear will significantly degrade the spear's durability.

As of now, Mojang has not revealed whether this new enchantment is in the treasure or common category. If it is a treasure enchantment, it can either be found as a chest loot or through a librarian villager. Otherwise, it can also be found as a random enchantment on the enchanting table.
