# Better Spears<\/p>\n

This Resource Pack makes the new spears look less like a spade or shovel and more like an actual spear. Some people have the same issue with the vanilla texture as I do, so I decided to upload this “fix”.<\/p>\n

This resourcepack adjusts the regular item texture as well as the texture of a spear when held in hand. It is also compatible with 3D spear texturepacks that do not change the GUI texture, like for example Nioums 3D Spear. This will only change the GUI texture while using a custom model in hand.<\/p>\n

## Issues<\/p>\n

If there _somehow_ are any issues with this very lightweight pack, or you have any recommendations please open an issue on the github repository.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
