Minecraft 1.21 Mace Guide: How to Craft, Enchant, and Dominate

Minecraft 1.21: How to Make a Mace

Hello!
With the Minecraft 1.21 update comes a new heavy-hitting weapon: the Mace. Found in Trial Chambers, it’s not just a weapon—it’s a tool for tactical domination. The farther you fall before landing a hit, the more damage you deal. Think of it as your go-to option for creative combat and high-ground advantage!

Where to Find Mace Parts and How to Craft It

To craft a Mace, you’ll need to track down two special components hidden in the depths of the Trial Chambers:

Heavy Core: Found in Trial Chamber loot chests. Drop chance: 12–15%
Breeze Rod: Dropped by Breeze mobs inside Trial Chambers. Drop chance: 20% (base), up to 30% with Looting III

Once you have both, craft your Mace at a Smithing Table and get ready to smash!


How to Find a Cartographer and Locate Trial Chambers

Need help finding those elusive Trial Chambers? A Cartographer Villager can help.

Step 1: Place a Cartography Table near an unemployed villager with a bed—they’ll become a Cartographer.
Step 2: Trade with them to get a Trial Explorer Map, which guides you to Trial Chambers.

Tip: Cartography Tables naturally generate in villages, so be sure to look around before crafting one yourself.

Unique Mace Enchantments

The Mace comes with three powerful and exclusive enchantments to boost your gameplay:

Density: Adds +0.5 extra damage per block fallen per level (Max Level: 5)
Breach: Ignores 15% of armor protection per level (Max Level: 4)
Wind Burst: Launches the user into the air by 7 blocks per level after a smash (Max Level: 3, only found in ominous vaults)


How to Repair a Mace

Repairing your Mace with an anvil is simple:

Place the damaged Mace in the first slot
Place a Breeze Rod in the second slot
The repaired Mace will appear in the third slot


Combat Strategies Using the Mace

Mastering the Mace means taking full advantage of vertical combat:

Jump from high places and strike while falling to deal massive damage—no fall damage taken!
Combine Wind Charges in your off-hand with the Mace in your main hand. Right-click to launch yourself and prepare for a devastating smash on the way down.


Final Thoughts

The Mace is more than just a new weapon—it’s a reward for bold adventurers. You'll need to explore dangerous Trial Chambers, defeat Breeze mobs, and gather rare items. But once you do, you’ll hold one of the most powerful melee tools in the game.
