Sunfire Lance

Quickstart

1. Gather a Campfire, Gold Ingot, Blaze Rod, and 2 Blaze Powder.
2. Craft the Sunfire Lance at a Crafting Table:

1. Equip the lance and head outside during the day for maximum damage.
2. Hit a mob — during daytime you deal 5 hearts of damage and have a 50% chance to set the target on fire for 5 seconds.

Overview

The Sunfire Lance is a rare, enchant-glowing melee weapon forged from fire and gold. Its power waxes and wanes with the sun — a fearsome tool in daylight, but a liability after dark. Timing your fights around the day/night cycle is the key to getting the most out of it.

What It Adds

The lance uses a spear swing animation and counts as a sword for enchantments and game mechanics.

Abilities And Mechanics

The Sunfire Lance deals different damage depending on the time of day:

• Daytime is the lance's prime state. Hits deal double the baseline damage, and there's a coin-flip chance the target catches fire.
• Nighttime dramatically weakens the lance. Not only does damage drop to a single heart, but any existing flames on the target are snuffed out on contact — so fire-based strategies become counterproductive.
• Attack speed is slightly slower than a standard sword, so time your swings carefully.

The recipe unlocks automatically once you have a Campfire, Blaze Powder, Gold Ingot, or Blaze Rod in your inventory.

Progression And Strategy

• Early combat: Collect Blaze Rods from the Nether, brew potions, then craft the lance for a powerful daytime weapon.
• Repair: Use Blaze Rods in an Anvil to restore durability (62 durability per rod).
• Enchanting: The lance accepts all sword-slot enchantments (Sharpness, Looting, Fire Aspect, etc.) and has an enchantability of 10.
• Day scheduling: Plan major fights — raids, boss encounters, mob farm clearing — during daylight hours to take full advantage of the 5-heart damage and ignite procs.
• Avoid nighttime PvE: At night the lance is weaker than most basic weapons. Carry a backup sword or wait for sunrise before engaging tough enemies.
• Fire Aspect synergy: Enchanting the lance with Fire Aspect adds guaranteed ignition on top of the existing daytime proc chance, making daytime hits almost certain to ignite targets.
