Mace is the Brand New Weapon Added in Minecraft Snapshot 24w11a

After thewind chargewas added a couple of weeks ago, I definitely didn’t expect yet another brand-new weapon to appear in this ongoing snapshot cycle. But here we are with a brand new Minecraft Snapshot 24w11a that has brought the mace, a new melee weapon, to the game. So, let’s check it out together, shall we?

New Mace Weapon Comes to Minecraft

The mace is a melee weapon that by defaultdeals 7 attack damageand has an attack speed of 1.6. These stats are the same for the unenchanted diamond sword. Furthermore, its damage is affected by the height you fall from. So, the longer you fall the stronger the mace will hit. Though, that’s not all.

The mace also deals an AOE (or area of effect) damage similar to the sweeping edgeenchantment. However, this effect doesn’t deal damage to surrounding entities and just knocks them back, both vertically and horizontally. Moreover, if you manage to land the hit on your target, you won’t take any fall damage even if you jump off of a 100-block high platform.

You can make the mace by combining aBreezerod and a heavy core item. TheBreeze mob was changed slightlywith this snapshot, as it drops the Breeze rod when you kill it. You can then use it to craft wind charges or the mace. The heavy core is a brand-new block that you can get from thevault. Place the two items in the crafting grid to make a mace.

New Pottery Sherds, Armor Trims, and Breeze Banner Designs

Apart from the unbelievably amazing and satisfying mace, we also got some other epic additions in the 24w11a snapshot.

First up, we have newarmor trimsyou can get from the vault. Their designs represent the Breeze’s, new tuff blocks, andtrial chambersvibes. Moreover, there are also two more banner patterns and three morepottery sherdsthat are all related to the Breeze, the chiseled tuff texture, and the mace.

And that’s about it for this week’s Minecraft 24w11a snapshot, and it’s a great one. We cannot wait to play around with the mace in the coming days, so expect a detailed hands-on guide on it soon.

So with that said, what do you think about the mace? Share your opinion in the comments below!
