Best use

Use Lunge when you want a spear jab to push you forward horizontally for mobility or repositioning.

Anvil tip

Lunge uses an anvil cost of 2 per level in the official Java 1.21.11 data, so a fresh Lunge III book costs 6 levels before prior-work penalties.

Watch for

Lunge consumes hunger and 1 durability per use, and it does not work in water or while flying with Elytra.

How to get Lunge

Enchanting table: Surround a level 30 table with 15 bookshelves and roll until Lunge appears.
Villager trading: Reroll librarian villagers until one stocks Lunge.
Loot: Bastions, end cities and trial chambers regularly drop enchanted gear with Lunge.

Anvil cost worked example

Applying a level-3 Lunge book onto a brand-new item costs 6 XP levels (book multiplier 2 times level 3). Adding it on top of an item that has already been on the anvil once raises the cost by another 1 level for the prior-work penalty; twice and the penalty jumps to 3; three times, 7; and so on by 2^n - 1.

Pair Lunge with cheap stuff first if you can - Unbreaking and Mending have low multipliers and don't conflict, so they're usually the cheapest path to a full endgame loadout.
