Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.12 and 1.21.0 - 1.21.1, outdated):
SpearsPlus_v1.2.1.zip  1-click install

Simple mod that adds Iron, Meteoric Iron, and Steel spears.

Compatible with Purposeful Storage

 

NOTICE WITH THE COMING 1.22 UPDATE THIS MOD WILL NO LONGER BE VALID AS THESE SPEARS WILL BE VANILLA

As a result of the Iron and Steel spear being made vanilla in 1.22 I will likely not update this mod for 1.22 depending on how 1.22 handles the changes to spears.

Added compatibility to Purposeful Storage

1.1.0 spearsplus 3718 Aug 20th 2024 at 3:11 PM SpearsPlus_v1.1.0.zip 1-click install

Previous version worked with v1.19.8 however would throw console errors and had a minor graphical glitch on the thrown spear entities for Meteoric Iron and Steel.

All of those should be patched now and will work with v1.19.8 without any issues.

now does it work in 1.22 thats the real question muehehe- nvm

porkjorker321, Feb 2nd at 3:14 AM (modified Feb 2nd at 3:40 AM)

does this still work for 1.21.6 or do i wait for an update
edit: actually? no. im gonna test it myself. im gonna be independent.
edit 2: yes. they do. i made a new world to test, and they smith just fine, kill just fine, and throw just fine. only issue i have is that the spears from this mod are not held like the other metal ones, they are pointing up instead of pointing where your seraph is facing

Yea, new rack was added with a new whitelist

Sprinting with the spears this mod gives doesn't produce the same first-person animation as the vanilla spears.
Additionally, the position of the spearhead when being held with tongs is incorrect.

Razgriz , Dec 27th 2025 at 6:29 AM

Madalovin they used to work! I wonder if Purposeful Storage got an update that changed the compatibility

Madalovin, Dec 26th 2025 at 5:28 AM

Seems I can not store the iron spears away in the Spear Rack (Acacia), I have not tested for other woods or the other modded spears added. Vanilla spears seem to go into the rack just fine.

Argonians Rejoice! the spears are heres :D

Pandion, Dec 7th 2025 at 3:10 PM

alternatively you can edit the behaviors section of assets\spearsplus\itemtypes\spearsplusspear.json
if you change:
   { name: "AnimationAuthoritative" }
to:
   {

        "name": "AnimationAuthoritative",
        "properties": {
        "strikeSound": "game:sounds/player/strike"
        }
   }
that should work too

Skippy499 thanks a ton for finding that! I'll likely have to update the play on hit sound file directory if it was changed via the latest updates to the core game.

Skippy499, Oct 26th 2025 at 9:56 PM

I think I found a workaround to fix for the lack of sound when stabbing with the spear. Within the client-main.log I found this message: [Warning] Audio File not found: spearsplus:sounds/player/strike.ogg

So I took the exsisting sound strike1.oog file found in "Roaming\Vintagestory\assets\survival\sounds\player\" and copied it into a new "\assets\spearsplus\sounds\player\" folder in the Spears+ mod zip, and renamed it to strike.oog.  I reloaded the save and the swing sound is working now.

Razgriz , Oct 19th 2025 at 11:23 PM

Joulz no the mod works fine without the sounds so its pretty low on my priorities

Joulz, Oct 19th 2025 at 2:53 PM

Hi Razgriz, we would love to use this mod on our server. Do you have an ETA for the spears stabbing sound effects fix?

Gazz, Oct 16th 2025 at 9:03 PM

Not a super important feature but it would be cool to have a blackguard spear.

An equivalent to the blackguard shortsword which is essentially steel stats but tied to the perk.

Razgriz , Sep 24th 2025 at 1:16 PM

HamboCommando oh weird, ill look into that when i get a chance, thank you!

HamboCommando, Sep 24th 2025 at 5:06 AM (modified Sep 24th 2025 at 5:07 AM)

Good day but i just noticed that the spears dont have the stabbing sound effects the normal ones do.

Razgriz , Aug 8th 2025 at 3:32 PM

FatherSarge I actually just started using that mod myself (im still waiting on sonzina to update Food Shelves!!!!) I'll look into his whitelist system to get it added.

FatherSarge, Aug 8th 2025 at 3:25 PM

Razgriz

Compat for Purposeful Storage would be great!

https://mods.vintagestory.at/purposefulstorage

It has a custom system to allow you to whitelist the spears for the various storage options it offers

Razgriz , Jun 26th 2025 at 1:12 PM

HerpDerply Im not sure about Working Classes, but xskills should work with Spears+ no problem.  As for the values in the mod if you want to tweak them you can unzip, change the values, and rezip.

 

Also I only added Iron, Meteoric Iron, and Steel spears, I left the vanilla spears (bismuth bronze) alone

HerpDerply, Jun 25th 2025 at 9:53 PM

Hey there.  I'm on a server running 1.20.11/12. We are using Working Classes and xskills.

 

Is this compatible with those mods? Also, is there a way to disable steel spears, or change damage mods within the json file? Spears past bismuth bronze deal too much damage with range, but bismuth bronze spears have poopoo durability.

 

If we could tweak damage to only slightly scale from BB to iron/meteoric/steel, that would be acceptable.

 

I took a new epic grade BB spear to a dungeon in the betterruins mod, and it barely lasted the entire dungeon even with being made by the blacksmith class.

Razgriz , May 28th 2025 at 2:16 PM

BirbOvO it should work no problem! If you do find anything weird, let me know.

BirbOvO, May 24th 2025 at 5:07 AM

Is this ok to use on 1.20.10? It's one of my essentail mods!

Error_Acnologia, Oct 14th 2024 at 11:23 AM

The mod is super but there is a nuance in all copies of the torch animation 0_O

Razgriz , Aug 20th 2024 at 3:14 PM

Sorry I wasn't around for some while, I wasn't aware of any issues with the mod.  All of the below comments should be addressed (minus the compatibility issue with StorageOptions mod, I'll have to look into what that entails as it might likely be on their end)

Chrossie, Mar 6th 2024 at 9:05 PM

Hey Hey, nice mod u have there, till the last update came everything was fine but now i got this issue on my Server.
6.3.2024 21:57:23 [Server Warning] Spear spearsplus:spearsplusspear-steel uses ItemSpear class, but lacks required AnimationAuthoritative behavior. I'll take the freedom to add this behavior, but please fix json item type

6.3.2024 21:57:23 [Server Warning] Spear spearsplus:spearsplusspear-iron uses ItemSpear class, but lacks required AnimationAuthoritative behavior. I'll take the freedom to add this behavior, but please fix json item type.

Maybe this Types of error can help u.
metasynthetic, Mar 6th 2024 at 12:52 AM

FYI, there's a cosmetic bug with this mod where meteoric iron and steel spears have missing textures on the heads of the full spear model. Cause is a lack of corresponding material textures in the base game's survival\textures\item\tool\material\ folder.

Also, a minor incompatibility with https://mods.vintagestory.at/storageoptions, this mod's spears don't align properly with the weapon racks, if you have any interest in making them compatible, my base's aesthetics would thank you.

Thanks for making this mod, I'm a spear-liker and this mod is great.

Novabella, Mar 3rd 2024 at 1:01 AM

I would love to see an update for this one! My love of spears must be fullfilled.

sushieater, Feb 21st 2024 at 9:42 AM

It works with 1.19.3.

For 1.19.4rc1, AnimationAuthoritative needs to be added the behaviors:

SpearsPlus_v1.0.0.zip:/assets/spearsplus/itemtypes/spearsplusspear.json:

behaviors: [{
name: "GroundStorable",
...
}, { name: "AnimationAuthoritative" }],

VaelophisNyx, Feb 19th 2024 at 7:49 PM

any chance at a 1.19 update?

Yelb, Dec 23rd 2023 at 11:23 AM

Hello, can you give the data of the new spears ? I mean, damage, durability, range... ?

RikeiR, Dec 22nd 2023 at 11:31 PM

OpPointBaker Ferrospear doesn't work since 1.17 I think, not sure about 1.16 There were some mods that added higher tier spears but those are some of the overhauls that changed so many things which I didn't like

OpPointBaker, Dec 21st 2023 at 5:00 PM

Razgriz Ferrospear added iron, meteoric iron, and steel spears, but I don't know if still works in 1.18/1.19. Either way, happy to see it. I <3 ranged combat!

Razgriz , Dec 21st 2023 at 4:03 PM

I was extremely surprised to search on the mod db and find not a SINGLE mod that adds (that I could find) higher tier spears!  So I said, whelp, guess I'll have to do it myself then!

Blazha, Dec 21st 2023 at 10:06 AM

Thank god someone did this, I've been waiting for this mod for almost 2 years now. Thank you kind ser!!

Razgriz , Dec 21st 2023 at 12:07 AM

Done!
