Upon doing a jab attack, it would be expected for the spear to attack the mob and not propel the player forward, however if the player is aiming for a mob he both damages the mob and propel himself forward.
How to reproduce:
Give yourself a spear enchanted with any level of Lunge.
Summon a mob.
Move a few blocks away from it.
Aim toward the mob and perform a jab attack.

Btw, this leads to another problem: when you have no space to propel even the damage applied by the jab attack wonβt be applied
