Spears have less maximum reach than swords in creative mode

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. In creative mode, get any sword and any spear

  2. Find or summon a mob

  3. Hold your sword and stand at the edge of your attack reach, right before the attack indicator disappears

  4. Swap to the spear

  5. Try to attack the mob

Observed Results:
The spear has less reach than the sword in creative mode.

Expected Results:
The spear’s reach is longer, or at least the same than the sword in creative mode.

Notes:


Original Description:

When doing a jab attack with the spear, the maximum reach is a little bit lower than when using swords. That contradicts the statement said in the snapshot article (https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-25w41a): (Spear Weapon) Has extended maximum reach compared to other tools and weapons.

This seems to be the result of the min_reach and max_reach fields for the kinetic_weapon component overriding the creative mode attack range buff (and generally, any deviation from the default entity_interaction_distance attribute). I wonder what the best way to structure a fix for this is…
