	=== Entity attacks ===		=== Entity attacks ===
	For most entities, the attack range is defined as a horizontally extended area beyond their collision box, referred to below as the '''attack bounding box'''. Similarly, the attacked entity has a range within which it can be struck, referred to as the '''hit bounding box'''. A melee attack can occur when the attack bounding box intersects with the hit bounding box. Entities performing melee attacks must also maintain a clear line of sight to the attacked entity, preventing attacks through blocks. Since entities cannot see themselves, they cannot perform melee attacks on themselves. In [[Minecraft:Mounts of Mayhem]], there is a second '''minimum bounding box''' representing the minimum reach of the entity, which will prevent the attacker from attacking the attacked entity if it is within its range.

As of [[Minecraft:Mounts of Mayhem]], there is a second '''minimum bounding box''' representing the minimum reach of the entity, which will prevent the attacker from attacking the attacked entity if it is within its range.

	The attack bounding boxes for an entity are obtained for the entity's minimum range (if non-zero) and maximum range boxes as follows: <ref group="note">If holding an item without the "minecraft:attack_range" [[Minecraft:data component]], maximum range is <math>\sqrt{2.04}-0.6</math> (approximately 0.828 blocks).</ref>		The attack bounding boxes for an entity are obtained for the entity's minimum range (if non-zero) and maximum range boxes as follows: <ref group="note">If holding an item without the "minecraft:attack_range" [[Minecraft:data component]], maximum range is <math>\sqrt{2.04}-0.6</math> (approximately 0.828 blocks).</ref>

Spears have the special ability to do [[Minecraft:charge attack]]s by holding the {{ctrl\|use}} button, which deal extra damage if the user and the target are moving towards each other fast enough. They must be moving towards each other at ≥4.6 blocks per second to deal damage, and ≥5.1 blocks per second to deal knockback. The damage dealt depends on the velocity of the user and the target.

	~~{{main\|Spear#Jab attack}}~~
	[[Minecraft:Spear]]s have the special ability to do [[Minecraft:jab attack]]s, which have 4.5 blocks of reach rather than the typical 3 blocks, can hit multiple entities with a single attack, and inflate the hitboxes of targets by 0.125 making attacks easier to land. Jab attacks have a minimum reach requirement however, where they cannot connect hits if the target is within 2 blocks or less of the user. Jab attacks have a forced cooldown effect that cannot be bypassed:
	* In {{JE}}, they use a variant of the attack cooldown where attacking is not possible until 100% charge, unlike other weapons.
	* In {{BE}}, they instead have a [[Minecraft:use cooldown]] like that of an [[Minecraft:ender pearl]], creating a similar forced-cooldown effect. The use cooldown triggers for all spear tiers in the inventory, not only the tier that was jabbed with.
	A spear can still perform a charge attack while the jab attack is on cooldown, and thus by alternating between jab attacks and charge attacks the rate of attacks can be effectively doubled. Attacking with a jab attack and then following it up with a charge attack causes the charge attack to do less damage depending on the attack cooldown percentage of the prior jab attack.

	Spears have the special ability to do [[Minecraft:charge attack]]s by holding the {{ctrl\|use}} button, which deal extra damage ~~depending~~ on the velocity of the user and the target. Like jab attacks, charge attacks have a 4.5 block attack reach, 0.125 hitbox inflation, and the 2 block minimum reach requirement, but do not have any sort of cooldown. Charge attacks can hit multiple entities, but only once for each entity.		Spears have the special ability to do [[Minecraft:charge attack]]s by holding the {{ctrl\|use}} button, which deal extra damage if the user and the target are moving towards each other fast enough. They must be moving towards each other at ≥4.6 blocks per second to deal damage, and ≥5.1 blocks per second to deal knockback. The damage dealt depends on the velocity of the user and the target. Like jab attacks, charge attacks have a 4.5 block attack reach, 0.125 hitbox inflation, and the 2 block minimum reach requirement, but do not have any sort of cooldown. Charge attacks can hit multiple entities, but only once for each entity.

	Charge attacks can still deal damage while the user is standing still, if the target is moving towards the user. The damage done by the charge attack is its [[#Multipliers\|damage multiplier]] multiplied by the velocity of the attacker relative to the target in blocks per second. Charge attacks go through three stages when held out, and the [[Minecraft:tier]] of the spear influences the behavior of its charge attacks:		Charge attacks can still deal damage while the user is standing still, if the target is moving towards the user.
