 How to use the mod:
-Spear work similarly to other tools such as swords, even if being a little slower. Moreover, a spear can be thrown using the drop key ('Q') or placed on a node using the place key ('right click'); they have also limited digging capabilities.
+Craft a spear with | stick | stick | (material) |, works also mirrored.
+Spears can be thrown using right mouse button, they either hurt someone or stick where they land on; damage depends on speed and material, flight trajectory is ballistic with (unrealistic) drag.
+Spears can be used to fight, but are slower and weaker than swords.
+Spears can be used to dig, but are slower and weaker and pickaxes.
+If you miss the target it's your fault, the spear is fine.
+You can grab a spear on the fly (or maybe wait until it falls?).
+You can stick a spear into a block, but if you remove the block then the spear falls (obviously).
+This mod contains the word "spear" more than 100 times, if you want the exact number count them yourself.
+If you feel clever, throw a spear right above you and look at it to see what happens.
+You can even throw a spear from above down to your foes, it's even easier to hit.
+Someone once reported to have hit its own foot but it takes practice to do that.
+
+
+CHANGELOG
+
+2.1:
+- Spears ding hard blocks (cracky < 3)
+- Fixed stick-into-node position to avoid spears turning black (#2467)
+- Player velocity added to throw (it's physics baby)
+
+2.0:
+- Cleaner, streamlined code without deprecated functions
+- Spears hurt players
+- Spears animated in flight
+- Spears stick into nodes
+- New textures
+- New sound when hitting flesh
+- New receipt to fit with default tools
+- Drag depends on fluid
+- Improved instructions
+- New gold-plated spear to celebrate
+
+1.1:
+- Make use of new on_secondary_use API, requires Minetest 5.2.0
+
