A '''mace''' is a [[Minecraft:Melee attack|melee]] [[Minecraft:weapon]] that can do smash attacks which deal more [[Minecraft:damage]] the farther the user falls before hitting an [[Minecraft:entity]]. Landing a successful smash attack causes the user to land without taking any [[Minecraft:fall damage]] accumulated prior to attacking. It is [[Minecraft:crafted]] with a [[Minecraft:heavy core]] which only drops from [[Minecraft:ominous vault]]s at a chance of 7.5%, and a [[Minecraft:breeze rod]] which is obtained from [[Minecraft:breeze]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|B1= Heavy Core
|B2= Breeze Rod
|Output= Mace
|type=Combat
}}

== Usage ==
=== Attacking ===
{{control|attack|text=Attacking}} with a mace costs 1 [[Minecraft:durability]], regardless of whether the attack is a smash attack (see below). {{IN|java}}, a [[Minecraft:boat]] or [[Minecraft:minecart]] hit by a mace is instantly destroyed without decreasing the mace's durability.

==== Normal attack ====
A mace can be {{control|attack|text=used}} while standing on the ground to perform a normal attack, dealing {{hp|6}} damage when the attack cooldown is fully charged. {{IN|java}}, it has the slowest [[Minecraft:attack speed]] in the game, at 0.6. If used normally, it deals 3.6 damage per second (DPS) or 5.4 if using critical hits, while a wooden sword deals 6.4 DPS. In {{JE}}, a [[Minecraft:Breach]] IV mace has the third-highest DPS and the highest damage per hit of all weapons versus entities wearing [[Minecraft:Diamond Armor|diamond]] or [[Minecraft:netherite armor]]. In {{BE}}, Breach IV maces have both the highest damage per hit and the highest DPS against entities wearing diamond or netherite armor, due to having no [[Minecraft:attack cooldown]].

==== Smash attack ====
[[File:Mace wind charge.gif|thumb|Using a wind charge to do a smash attack from the ground.]]
===== Falling =====
A mace does a smash attack when it is {{control|attack|text=used}} after the player has fallen 1.5 blocks or more, regardless of the mace's current attack cooldown progress.<ref>{{cite bug|MC|270160|Mace Smash Attacks Activate on Cooldown|resolution=Works As Intended}}</ref> The player must not be grounded or in elytra flight, and the fall height used in calculation is simply the starting height (Y coordinate) minus the ending height (Y coordinate). Successfully performing a smash attack without touching the ground resets the player's fall height to the height where the smash attack was performed, nullifying any fall damage. The player begins accumulating fall damage once again if they continue to fall.

===== Activation =====
When a smash attack is performed, extra damage is dealt to the attacked entity based on the distance fallen prior to the attack. All entities within 2.5 blocks of the attack are knocked back, similar to the effect of a [[Minecraft:wind charge]].{{Info needed|By how much?}} The knockback from smash attacks does not affect the attacker, though the [[Minecraft:Wind Burst]] enchantment can be used to launch them in a similar way. A smash attack can be performed on any entity, which includes mobs, [[Minecraft:player]]s, and non-mob entities like [[Minecraft:armor stand]]s. Smash attacks cannot be performed if the player has the [[Minecraft:Slow Falling]] effect.

Descending with an [[Minecraft:elytra]] counts as blocks fallen for smash attacks.<ref>{{cite bug|MC|270393|Extra mace damage could be accumulated while using the elytra|resolution=Works As Intended}}</ref> In {{JE}}, the elytra must be unequipped before attacking for the smash attack to activate, as being in elytra flight does not activate a smash attack.<ref name="mace-elytra">{{cite bug|MC|269388|Mace falling damage increase is applied while using an elytra|resolution=Fixed}}</ref> In {{BE}}, unequipping the elytra before attacking is not necessary, as smash attacks activate even while the user is in elytra flight.<ref>{{Cite bug|MCPE|179914|Mace can applies falling damage increase while using an elytra}}</ref>

===== Damage =====
A successful smash attack causes a mace to deal {{hp|4}} extra damage for each of the first 3 blocks fallen, {{hp|2}} extra damage for each of the next 5 blocks fallen, and {{hp|1}} extra damage for each block fallen after that. The [[Minecraft:Density]] enchantment can be used to increase smash attack damage by {{hp|0.5}} per level for each block fallen. Smash attacks are usually [[Minecraft:critical hit]]s, where both the mace's base damage and its smash attack damage are increased by 50%. The damage a mace smash attack can accumulate from falling is unlimited.<ref>{{bug|MC-269391||Mace falling damage increase is uncapped|Invalid}}</ref>

===== Damage comparisons =====
The amount of fallen blocks needed to defeat a player wearing full [[Minecraft:Protection]] IV netherite armor from full health are the following:
* Unenchanted mace: A critical hit after falling 30 blocks.
* [[Minecraft:Breach]] IV mace: A critical hit after falling 19 blocks.
* [[Minecraft:Density]] V mace: A critical hit after falling 10 blocks.
* Breach IV mace with [[Minecraft:Strength]] II: A critical hit after falling 13 blocks.
* Density V mace with Strength II: A critical hit after falling 9 blocks.

The amount of fallen blocks needed to defeat a [[Minecraft:warden]] from full health are the following:
* Unenchanted mace: A critical hit after falling 321 blocks.
* Density V mace: A critical hit after falling 95 blocks.
* Density V mace with Strength II: A critical hit after falling 93 blocks.

==== Enchantment behavior ====
Maces have exclusive access to the [[Minecraft:Density]], [[Minecraft:Breach]], and [[Minecraft:Wind Burst]] enchantments.

===== Density =====
{{main|Density}}
Maces [[Minecraft:Enchanting#Summary_of_enchantments_by_item|enchanted]] with Density deal more damage when executing a smash attack. The damage is increased by {{Hp|0.5}} for each block fallen per level of enchantment, with a maximum level of 5. Normal attacks do not have their damage increased.

===== Breach =====
{{main|Breach}}
Maces enchanted with Breach partially ignore a target's [[Minecraft:armor points]] and [[Minecraft:armor toughness]] when attacking. The reduction is 15% per level of enchantment, with a maximum level of 4. By use of Breach IV, a mace's normal attack has the highest damage-per-hit of any melee weapon against targets wearing [[Minecraft:Diamond Armor|diamond]] or [[Minecraft:netherite armor]].

===== Wind Burst =====
{{main|Wind Burst}}
[[File:Chaining smash attacks.gif|thumb|Chaining smash attacks by use of Wind Burst.]]
Maces enchanted with Wind Burst cause a powerful upwards knockback effect upon executing a successful smash attack. The height gain is 8 blocks per level, with a maximum level of 3. Wind Burst can be used to repeatedly chain smash attacks together. Unlike [[Minecraft:wind charge]]s, Wind Burst does not negate fall damage.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* The mace's design pitch was made by developer [[Minecraft:Ulraf]].<ref> https://youtu.be/2cxUNoWNy50?t=4173</ref>
* One of the original ideas for what would be the main reward of the [[Minecraft:trial chambers]] was a long-ranged weapon, before the mace was conceptualized and chosen over it by the developers.<ref> https://youtu.be/2cxUNoWNy50?t=4208</ref>
* The earliest implementation of the mace in {{el|be}} used the attachable system, a system used to play custom animations. However the mace's attachable system files did not contain any custom animations, and it was later rewritten to use the standard item system.
