In multiple places in the Lord of the Rings, especially with the Rohirrim, it is mentioned that spears were stuck in the ground in remembrance of someone. Generally in Minecraft, you would not mourn the loss of a friend, as they usually respawn in one piece, however, it would be nice to have the option to stick spears in the ground as a decoration. (I know that you can stick spears in the ground by throwing them, but there are a ton of reasons against it, so don’t bring it up. Or else . . .)

That is the point of this suggestion, and I am sure that there would be many ways to do it, but here are my thoughts. You would craft spear stands with three dirt in a small “L” shape. This would give you 3 of them, one for each dirt. (I am sure that you could make better, more complex ways to craft it, but this option could be done on the go.) The spear stands would be semi-solid blocks that would look something like a flowerpot with a dirt-themed retexture. You could then right-click with the spear on the stand, and it would place the spear sticking out of the ground, at probably anywhere between a 45 and 80 degree angle, facing you. (Whether it is solid or not, or hurts if you walk through it or not, is up to the mod team.) You could pull the spear out by right clicking on the stand.

That’s all for now, folks!

Suggestions and Criticism welcome!
