Repairing

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Description
Damaged Extinction Spear		The durability of the two extinction spears is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.

Extinction Spears may also be repaired on an anvil by using Tectonic Shards or another extinction spear. Grindstones may also be used in place of anvils, but extinction spears will only be able to be repaired with another extinction spear.

Thrown extinction spears

Extinction Spears that have been thrown on the ground by a player can be picked up. Only the user of a Extinction Spear thrown in Creative mode can pick it up; other players in Creative and players in Survival mode including its own owner can't pick up the spear thrown in Creative.

Usage

Melee attack

Like all other melee weapons, pressing left-click while holding an Extinction Spear will deal damage to mobs and other players. Extinction Spears deal 9 melee damage as well as igniting entities on fire for 5 seconds. Once the spear has been used in melee combat, a Tremorsaurus Spirit will manifest and bite the already wounded enemy before disappearing again, dealing a further 3 damage. Extinction Spears have an attack speed of 1 (equating to a cooldown of only 1 second per attack). Extinction Spears lose 1 durability each time they're used for either melee or range combat.

Ranged attack

Pressing and holding right-click charges up the spear and summons 3 Grottoceratops spirits that will orbit the player. Each of these spirits will block 100% of any incoming damage, at the cost of how it will immediately disappear once doing so. If the spear has been thrown or switched for another item, all Grottoceratops spirits will vanish.

Once the use button is let go, the charge that the spear has accumulated will determine how far it will be thrown. Extinction spears fly in a ballistic trajectory similar to that of an arrow, but will go even further than an arrow shot from a crossbow when fully charged. If the spear hits a block, it will momentarily stick to it like an arrow or trident before beginning to shake and ultimately causing a fiery explosion. This explosion will deal 1 to 12 × 6 damage and varying knockback to entities depending on how far they are from the center of the blast radius. This explosion will also set fire to random blocks nearby but will never do any damage the spear's user or destroy any blocks. After exploding, the spear will fly back to the original thrower similarly to a trident enchanted with loyalty. If the spear hits an entity, it will ignite it on fire for 5 seconds and awaken a Subterranodon spirit before landing on a block nearby. The summoned Subterranodon spirit will pick up and drag the hit target 12 blocks into the air, before dropping it and disappearing. All kinds of shields will block the thrown Extinction Spear and subsequently block the Subterranodon spirit from summoning. Thrown Extinction spears can trigger wooden buttons, wooden pressure plates, and target blocks, however it cannot be used to destroy chorus flowers or pointed dripstone like regular arrows or tridents can. On the contrary, Extinction Spears can still be used to explode Tesla Bulbs.

Damage

Thrown Extinction Spears deal 10 damage. The amount of damage is not influenced by how fast the spear is traveling through the air.

Enchantments

All weapons and tools added by Alex's Caves have unique enchantments that exclusively only apply for them. Unlike regular enchantments, these ones by default (without changing config settings) do not increase the pool of enchantments you can receive from any loot tables, and instead can only be obtained from enchanting the exclusive item they apply to in an Enchanting Table.

The Extinction Spear has 3 exclusive enchantments.

Plummeting Flight

Rare enchantment that makes the Subterranodon spirit take longer to disappear and drop its picked up mob, with the duration before disappearing increasing per level. Has levels from I-III.

Herd Phalanx

Rare enchantment that summons extra Grottoceratops spirits when the spear is being charged up, with an extra 1 being summoned per level. Has levels from I-III.

Chomping Spirit

Rare enchantment that increases the bite strength of the Tremorsaurus spirit by 2 damage per level. Has levels from I-II.
