How To Make A Mace In Minecraft

How to Make a Mace in Minecraft

If you enjoy swinging your sword or bashing with an axe, you are in for a treat because you can acquire a new melee weapon – the mace. This isn’t just any weapon—it’s powerful enough to one-shot the Warden. Let’s show you how to craft your own mace in Minecraft, master its power, and even learn the ultimate move to negate fall damage while smashing mobs into the next biome!

Resources Needed to Craft a Mace

To make this beastly weapon, you’ll need two things:

1. Breeze Rod
2. Heavy Core

Both items are only available in the new trial chambers. Brace yourself for a bit of an adventure!

• Breeze Rod: This unique item is dropped by the Breeze mob. With every Breeze you defeat, you can get up to two Breeze rods by default. Equip yourself with the looting enchantment, and you could score as many as eight Breeze rods in a single kill.

• Heavy Core: This one’s trickier. It’s one of the possible rewards from the ominous vault block in trial chambers, but with only an 8.3% chance of dropping, you might be searching through quite a few chambers. An explorer map will help you find trial chambers faster, but pack some snacks—you’re in for the long haul!

Crafting the Mace

Once you’ve braved trial chambers and gathered these rare items, you’re ready to make the mace in Minecraft! Here’s the step-by-step recipe:

1. Open your inventory (press E) or access a crafting table.
2. Place the Breeze rod in any of the bottom slots in the crafting grid.
3. Add the Heavy Core in the slot directly above the Breeze rod.
4. Voilà! The mace will appear in the result slot on the right.

If you’re rolling in resources, you can even use a crafter to mass-produce maces for all your friends (or just for yourself—no judgment here).

Using the Mace

Now that you’ve crafted your shiny new mace, it’s time to swing it! The mace in Minecraft works like any other melee weapon in Minecraft. Get close to an enemy, and press the left mouse button to deliver a mighty blow. You can even pull off a critical hit by jumping and attacking simultaneously, dealing a whopping 9 points of damage (or 4.5 hearts).

And here’s where things get even crazier: the mace shines brightest when you hit from above. Jumping from any height over 1.5 blocks boosts your damage. Here’s a breakdown of how the mace’s damage scales with your jump:

For the first 3 blocks, your mace’s damage increases by 4 points (or 2 hearts) per block. As a result, a jump from 3 blocks adds a cool 12 points of damage. For the next 5 blocks, it gains 2 attack points (or 1 heart) for each block. After that, every block adds half a heart to the damage.

Let’s do some quick math! When you jump from a 10 block platform and time it right, you deal nearly 40 to 45 damage which is about 22 hearts. This power makes you unstoppable against zombies, husks, and skeletons!

Wait there's more! When you jump from a height and hit with a mace, you will trigger an area-of-effect smash attack. This knocks out all nearby enemies. Think of it as a Hulk smash—pure devastation!

Weapon Stats

You are probably thinking why jump from a height because it will cause damage. But here’s a pro tip, when you successfully land a hit with a mace, you do not receive fall damage.

For Java players, try pairing your mace with wind charges. Hold the wind charge in your off-hand, launch yourself in the air, and then swing your mace just before you land for maximum impact. If you’re feeling bold, you could even jump from over 200 blocks high and obliterate a Warden in a single hit.

Mace Enchantments

To level up your mace game, add some enchantments! There are eight enchantments for the mace:

1. Unbreaking
2. Mending
3. Smite
4. Bane of Arthropods
5. Density
6. Breach
7. Wind Burst
8. Curse of Vanishing

Keep in mind that Smite, Bane of Arthropods, Density, and Breach are mutually exclusive—you can only pick one of these. For most players, Density is the best option if you’re focusing on mobs instead of heavily armored players. And for durability, don’t forget Unbreaking and Mending—the latter will let you repair your mace on the go as you collect XP orbs.

Mace Repairing Guide

The mace is durable, with 500 uses, but it won’t last forever if you’re smashing mobs day and night. Here’s how to keep it in top shape:

1. Combine two maces in an anvil, crafting grid, or grindstone. This will add to the durability of both maces and increase it by 5%.
2. Use Breeze rods in an anvil to repair your mace. Place the mace in the first slot and the Breeze rod in the second. One Breeze rod will restore 25% of the mace’s durability, but it’ll cost some XP levels.
3. Mending enchantment is the most efficient. Just collect XP while holding a Mending-enchanted mace, and its durability will automatically be restored. Perfect for players who grind XP regularly!
