The Mace has made its way to Minecraft in this week's snapshot and preview! Crafted from the Breeze Rod and Heavy Core items found in Trial Chambers, this a-mace-ing heavy melee weapon comes with unique properties that add a smashing new twist to combat encounters. Read on for more details:
- A new heavy weapon to smash your enemies!
- Leverage the weight of this new weapon to deal additional damage the farther you fall before hitting your target
- Try it out by jumping down toward your target, and hit them before you hit the ground
- Successfully striking a target in this way will negate any damage accumulated from the fall, similar to how a Wind Charge works
- Other entities near the struck enemy will be knocked back by the immense force of the Mace
- Using a Mace will decrease its durability like any other weapon; repair it with Breeze Rods at an anvil
- Players can use a Mace in combination with Wind Charges to launch up and deliver devastating smash attacks on their enemies
As always, we want your feedback! We're especially interested to hear what you think about the overall feel of using the mace, how it compares to other weapons in the game, as well as how intuitive it feels using input methods other than Keyboard/Mouse (e.g. game pad or touch controls).
Once you've given the Mace a spin, let us know in the comments below!
