[MC-303181] Spears have an attribute modifier for attack_damage for both hands, even though the charge attack does not use it

The Bug

Spears currently have an Attack Damage modifier that shows up as applying in either hand in their tooltip.

Steps to reproduce

Look at the Spear in the inventory
Notice how the tooltip shows attack damage under “When held: ”

Expected Result

It should show under “When in Main Hand: ” as it is not used in the off-hand.

Actual Result

The Spear’s Attack Damage tooltip shows up as “When held: “

Can confirm. Please note that this is an issue specifically because the charge attack does not use the attack damage at all, so it saying that it applies in either hand is inaccurate as offhand charge attacks do not use the attack damage statistic.

Give a thanks to attribute swapping!

Neither of these reports are attribute swapping, the Spear just provides its Attack Damage modifier to the off-hand…
