Halberd

A halberd deals as much damage as a sword and has a much larger knockback.

The halberd has a greater attack range and can switch attack modes between slashing and stabbing by right clicking. The stab attacks deal more damage, but slashing has a greater knockback.

It can be made out of all usual vanilla weapon materials, i.e. wood, stone, iron, gold, and diamonds.
