5 Best Mace Enchantments in Minecraft 1.21

Apr. 8, 2024

Every unique weapon has special exclusive Minecraft enchantments to go with it and the recently introduced mace is no different. Its enchantments are designed to emphasize its ability and power while also making it satisfying to use. In this guide, we list the best mace enchantments you should using, along with how to get them, in Minecraft.

1. Density

First, let’s talk about a mace-exclusive enchantment. The density enchantment for the mace is thesharpness equivalentfor a sword in Minecraft 1.21. It increases the damage your mace deals by adding damage on top of the default falling damage.

Every block will increase the damage by 0.5 per level. So, density 1 adds 0.5 damage for one block but density 5 adds 2.5 per block.

This enchantment makes much more sense against mobs with a lot of HP like theWarden. Without density, you can one-shot the Warden if you fall from a height greater than 200 blocks (yikes), while with density 5, falling from a height of around 100 blocks kills the Warden.

So, as you can see, that’s a massive difference. Not only that, but it’s also pretty much free since you can get it using an enchanting table. Also, density is mutually exclusive with breach, smite and bane of arthropods.

Unbreaking enchantment affects the mace’s durability. It decreases the chance of the mace using its durability. In the end, unbreaking level 3 can make it so themace can last for about four times longerthan it does by default. You may place the mace in the enchanting table with lapis lazuli to potentially get unbreaking.

Both unbreaking and mending (more on this below) enchantments are important when it comes to the mace because it requiresheavy coreto craft, which is rare. The weapon has 500 base durability, which is not much. So, these two enchantments will allow you to use the mace as long as you repair it every once in a while.

Now, let’s talk about the second mace-exclusive enchantment in Minecraft called wind burst. This enchantment triggers every time you hit a target, but you need to jump from at least a two-block-tall height. Then, it causes awind burst effectto spawn right below you and it results in yougetting launched in the airand traveling the distance depended on the level of the wind burst enchantment.

Everylevel adds 7 blocksto the total height. So, wind burst 1 will launch you 7 blocks high in the air, wind burst 2 will launch you 14 blocks, and the level 3 will catapult you an astonishing 21 blocks upwards.

This pairs perfectly with the mace’s main ability, which implies your damage is increased the longer you fall. It is the most useful mace enchantment since it allows you to chain multiple deadly hits on your target.

However, similarly to the mending enchantment, you cannot get wind burst from the enchanting table. Instead, you’ll need to completeominous trials, openominous vaults, get lucky and get the enchanted book with this mace enchantment.

Mending is arguably the bestenchantment in Minecraft. Once you apply it on the mace and have it in your main or off hand, all the XP that would previously go to your XP bar now repairs the mace’s durability. This allows you to use the mace until it’s almost broken and then do an action that gives XP while holding the mace to repair it.

What players opt to do most of the time is make aXP farm in Minecraftthat will repair broken tools, armor and weapons within seconds. However, there is a catch; you cannot obtain mending through theenchanting table. Instead, you’ll have to find theenchanted bookby looting in-game structures,fishing, or buying it from librarianvillagers.

The final enchantment we have on ur list is breach. It allows the mace to ignore some percentage of the armor value depending on the breach level. Breach 1 enchantment will ignore 15% of the armor value whereas Breach 4 will reduce effectiveness of armor by 60%. So, every level of breach reduces armor by 15%.

This means you will deal more damage to armored mobs and players. The breach enchantment is thereforefar more useful on serversthan in singleplayer worlds. You may get breach from the enchanting table. Breach is mutually exclusive with density, smite and bane of arthropods.

Those are the best mace enchantments in Minecraft Tricky Trial update. My personal favorite here is wind burst as it’s satisfying and amusing to use against enemies and other players. Density and mending make your life comparatively easier since they are overpowered.
