How To Craft A Mace in Minecraft

After 6 years, Minecraft developers Mojang have finally introduced a new weapon to the sandbox title. The Mace has been introduced as a part of the 1.21 update along with brand-new blocks and other changes to the game. Since the beginning, Minecraft players have relied on weapons like swords and tridents to defeat mobs and other enemies. However, after such a long time, Minecraft players can get their hands on a new heavy damage-dealing melee weapon.

There are other new items that come into play when crafting a Mace, such as the Breeze Rod and the Heavy Core. Unlike most weapons, the Mace doesn’t have rarity tiers. Here is how you can craft a Mace in Minecraft.

How To Craft A Mace In Minecraft

The newest melee weapon addition in Minecraft, the Mace, deals splash damage to enemy units along with a knockback effect. However, there’s a catch – the player needs to jump before landing the hit to deal significant damage. Now, one must wonder if they will take fall damage on contact with the ground.

Minecraft 1.20 Ore Distribution

Minecraft’s 1.18 update changed the way that ores are distributed. This guide details where players should look for ores in the current 1.19 update.

This is where the weapon shines in all its glory, as the Mace has the ability to negate fall damage from any height if the player successfully lands a hit. Unfortunately, the player will die if they miss their shot after jumping off a very high point, the fall damage will potentially kill them.

You must also keep in mind that it is extremely rare to obtain a Heavy Core, an essential item that is required to craft the Mace. According to the developers, players only have a 2.225% chance of getting the item from a Vault block. Follow the steps below to be able to craft the Mace in Minecraft:

Defeat the Breeze mob in the Trial Chambers and collect its drop loot, which is also a new item – the Breeze Rod. Additionally, a Breeze Rod can also be used to craft a Wind Charge, which is not required in the process of crafting the Mace.
Once you have obtained a Vault block, use a Trial Key to unlock it. If you’re lucky enough, you will pull the Heavy Core.
Once you have both the items in your inventory, you’ll be able to craft the Mace by placing them on the crafting table grids.

How To Use A Mace In Minecraft

In order to master the ability to use the Mace as a weapon in Minecraft, players need to master their jump first, since jumping is the most essential element when it comes to using the weapon. A bonus that makes the Mace a very strong tool in a fight would be its capability to multiply damage as the fall height increases.

The Mace doesn’t deal bonus critical damage on a one-block fall, thus players would need to jump off a higher point and land a hit on the enemy to get a bonus critical damage and also negate the fall damage. Additionally, if you fall more than one and a half blocks, it applies a knockback effect on the enemy, thus dealing more damage (depending on the number of blocks fallen).

A Chromebook is one of many platforms that you can play Minecraft on, and there are several ways that you can install the game.

Another great way to effectively use the Mace in Minecraft would be to keep a Wind Charge in one hand and the Mace in the other. Using the Wind Charge simultaneously along with the Mace would allow players to jump higher and hit their enemies with multiplied damage.

Minecraft’s latest weapon addition, the Mace, is very effective against stronger mob bosses and enemies if used effectively. Players must keep in mind not to overuse the weapon, as it is extremely rare to come across the components required for crafting it. When it comes to repairing the weapon, a Wind Rod can be used to restore 25% of the Mace’s health. Thus, players are advised to repair their maces before their health depletes, as cost-saving when repairing one against crafting it again is huge.
