Want to know how to make a Mace in Minecraft? We've got you covered. A Mace is a heavy hammer-like tool that offers players combat abilities and increased mobility options.

It has one interesting feature that allows players to cancel out any damage they could have taken from a fall or when attacking an enemy. Also, it can knock out nearby enemies due to a shockwave-like effect.

So, without any further ado, let’s start with our guide and learn how to craft and use a Mace in Minecraft.

Minecraft Mace crafting recipe

To craft a Mace, make sure you have a Breeze Rod and a Heavy Core. These can only be obtained in the newly introduced trial chambers.

Both are very difficult to acquire, especially the heavy core is very rare and can only be obtained when a player unlocks a vault block using a trial key. However, if you do get it, defeat the breeze mob in the trial chambers, and you will get the breeze rod.

Now that you have both of these required items, let's start with crafting the Mace in Minecraft.

How to make Mace in Minecraft

Making a Mace in Minecraft is more than just gathering materials; it requires strategy and an understanding of the game's mechanics. Here are the detailed steps to help you:

  • Press the E key or use a crafting table to get started.
  • Here, place the Breeze Rod in any of the two bottom squares of the crafting grid.
  • Next, position the Heavy Core directly above the Breeze Rod in the centre square of the grid.
  • The Mace will now appear in the result slot located on the right.

How to use Mace in Minecraft

Now that you've crafted your Mace, it's time to unleash its potential. Let’s see how you can use the Mace in different ways:

  • The Mace’s power depends completely on the fall distance. The farther you fall before hitting a mob, the more damage will be inflicted by the maze. This allows for one-hit kills against enemies if used strategically.
  • As discussed, the Mace can cancel out your fall damage regardless of the height as long as you land the successful hit.
  • Its knockback effect can be used when fighting or controlling groups of mobs. This will help push back enemies and create some breathing room.
  • The Mace is an excellent weapon when it comes to aerial attacks; however, it's also decent in close combat situations.
  • It can be partnered with tools that grant height advantage, like the Elytra Wings and Potions of Leaping.
