Spears of Longinus
Fans of anime-inspired combat have a new reason to return to their worlds. Spears of Longinus is a weapon add-on that brings the iconic lances of Evangelion straight into Minecraft, giving players a full arsenal of legendary polearms to craft, carry, and swing. Built with Mcreator and Blockbench, this project started as a personal passion and grew into a complete set of weapons that no other mod had properly delivered before.
What Weapons Are Included
The add-on focuses on screen-accurate models rather than simple tool reskins, which is exactly why it stands out from older trident replacements that forced players to install Optifine just to change a texture. Every weapon has been modeled from scratch and tuned for combat. The full lineup includes:
- Lance of Longinus
- Spear of Cassius
- Spear of Gaius
- Replica Spear of Longinus, the false lance seen at the end of Evangelion
- Giant Sword, also based on the false lance
- An alternate form of the Spear of Gaius
- A unique Spear of Cassius model that appears when held in the offhand
Each weapon is fire immune and does not use durability, so you never have to worry about your favorite spear breaking mid-fight. They function as straightforward damage dealers with no special abilities attached, which keeps them balanced and easy to understand.
Better Combat Integration and Supported Versions
Spears of Longinus was calibrated to work with the Better Combat mod, and the difference is immediately noticeable. With Better Combat installed, every spear and lance uses the one-handed trident preset, while the Giant Sword uses the double-bladed-sword preset. This gives each weapon proper swing arcs, reach, and animation flow. The two-handed spear preset was deliberately avoided because it pushed the models through the player's chest, creating ugly clipping.
If you play without Better Combat, the add-on still works perfectly fine. The weapons simply behave like ordinary melee tools, which the developer openly describes as more boring but fully functional. The mod supports Minecraft Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so most modern modpacks can run it without conflicts. Version compatibility is handled across current releases, making it easy to drop into an existing world.
For players who prefer a frictionless setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install option that pulls Spears of Longinus directly into a ready-to-play profile, skipping the usual manual file juggling entirely.
How to Install
Getting started is simple. First, confirm that you have the correct mod loader installed for your Minecraft version. Then follow these steps:
- Download Spears of Longinus from the official project page.
- Place the .jar file into your mods folder.
- Install Better Combat if you want the enhanced animations and combat feel.
- Launch the game and verify the add-on appears in your mod list.
Once loaded, the weapons can be obtained through creative mode or crafting, depending on your setup. Because the items have no durability and resist fire, they are safe to use in lava-heavy environments and long expeditions.
Why It Is Worth Trying
Spears of Longinus for Minecraft fills a gap that many anime fans have complained about for years. Instead of settling for a recolored trident, you get properly modeled weapons that look right from every angle. The developer has stated that future updates depend on how easy they are to implement in Mcreator, and native trident support could eventually add throwing mechanics to the lances. For now, the add-on delivers exactly what it promises: beautiful, functional Evangelion weaponry for your world.
