Spear is a new melee weapon that was released with Minecraft Mounts of Mayhem game drop. This is a first-tier weapon that can be crafted with two sticks and one earth material, like wood, copper, iron, gold, diamond, etc. As with every weapon, several enchantments, both existing and new, can be applied to it.

Every spear enchantment in Minecraft, ranked
10) Curse of Vanishing

Curse of Vanishing is the worst enchantment for a spear since it is a curse. If players have a spear with this enchantment and die, they will lose the weapon forever.
9) Bane of Arthropods

Bane of Arthropods is also not among the best enchantments for a spear since it only increases damage against arthropod mobs like bees, spiders, and silverfish.
8) Smite

Smite could be a decent enchantment to apply to the spear, but since this option only increases attack damage towards the undead, it is not the most versatile offensive enchantment.
7) Fire Aspect

Fire Aspect is an interesting enchantment for a spear since it sets enemies hit by the weapon on fire. However, since the spear is a melee weapon, players might get burned while attacking foes with the enchatment equipped on it.
6) Knockback

Knockback can be a great spear enchantment, especially with charge attacks. If players hit enemies with a charge attack and a decent Knockback enchantment, they will be knocked back hard, which can also look quite realistic.
5) Lunge

Lunge is the new enchantment exclusive to the spear. It allows players to dash forward when they perform a jab attack. Though it is a fun power-up that adds a new movement mechanic, it is not the best since it costs hunger points, which are essential for survival.
4) Looting

Looting is also a good enchantment to apply to the spear since it increases the chances of getting good mob drops. For example, if a player is fighting a drowned zombie with a trident, Looting will increase the chances of the trident being dropped by the drowned zombie when it is killed.
3) Unbreaking

Unbreaking has always been a go-to enchantment for almost every gear piece in Minecraft since it increases the life span of gear. It reduces the chances of a gear piece's durability going down when it is used. This can be a great enchantment for a spear that players want to use for a long time.
2) Mending

Mending is considered one of the best enchantments since it allows players to heal their gear pieces using XP. If a spear with a Mending enchantment is held in one hand and XP orbs are picked up, the spear's durability will be restored.
1) Sharpness

Sharpness is arguably the best for the spear since it simply increases its general attack damage, regardless of which enemy players are attacking. Since a spear will primarily be used as a melee weapon, this is a great enchantment for it.
