The Minecraft Mace is a powerful new weapon in the 1.21 update, known for its heavy knockback and unique look. This guide will walk you through how to get the mace in Minecraft and how to craft and use it effectively against mobs.
What is the Minecraft Mace?
The Minecraft Mace is a heavy melee weapon with a unique twist: it deals additional damage based on your fall height before striking. This makes it extremely powerful for close-combat attacks, especially when combined with the right strategies. The mace also features a high knockback effect, ideal for crowd control and pushing back multiple enemies.

How to Get the Mace in Minecraft?
To obtain the mace in Minecraft, you will need to visit the new Trial Chambers, which are located in caves.
To learn more about the Minecraft Trial chambers check out our article that covers that topic. These chambers are guarded by Minecraft Breeze mobs.
To craft the mace, you will need to collect two essential items: a Breeze Rod and a Heavy Core. You can obtain a Breeze Rod by defeating a Breeze, while the Heavy Core can be found in vaults within the Trial Chambers. Once you have both items, you can proceed to craft the mace.
Defeating the Breeze is the easy part, getting a Heavy Core will be the most difficult step, as you will need to obtain vault keys and open Ominous Vaults in order to get the Heavy Core, there is a 8.3% chance for the Heavy Core to drop.

How to Use the Mace in Minecraft?
Using the mace effectively means taking advantage of its knockback and extra damage from falling. No matter what height you jump from, if you land a strike with the mace, you will not take any fall damage. This makes it possible to deal significant damage, even one-shotting high-health mobs like the Warden if you time your jump right. Even though that means that you need to jump from a height well over 200 blocks.
