How to reproduce: grab a spear and charge on a mob
Each tick should damage the entity, indicated by the spear charge noise damage and the knockback of the engaged mode. However, it’s not always the case. It seems only the knockback stays consistent.

This may be to do with the fact that if a mob is too close it will not get damaged, or some kind of intentional mechanic to prevent endless spear attack combos because the first hit does still seem to deal damage (someone please clarify)
sometimes the 1st hit doesn’t even do damage: https://streamable.com/3haa6l
