Better Mace Mod FAQ

Jump from a height while holding a mace, then attack an enemy before you land. The higher you fall, the more damage the smash deals. See the guide 'How to Perform a Mace Smash Attack' for detailed positioning tips.

When you land a smash attack, nearby blocks perform a wave-like motion outward from the impact point. This is purely visual and doesn't affect gameplay—it just makes the attack look more powerful. The effect range depends on your fall height.

Yes, this mod enhances the vanilla mace weapon, so you need to obtain or craft a mace through normal Minecraft survival methods first.

No, the wave is a visual effect only. It doesn't break blocks, push entities, or deal extra damage—only your mace smash attack itself deals damage.

Better Mace Mod should work alongside most combat mods, but conflicts can occur if other mods heavily modify mace behavior. Test in a world to be sure.

You need to fall from a noticeable height, but the exact distance isn't specified—experiment by jumping from different elevations to see what triggers the effect in your world.

The wave effect is lightweight, but performance depends on your hardware and how many smash attacks occur at once. If you experience lag, try reducing your render distance or particle settings.

This mod doesn't include built-in customization options. Check the mod's configuration files or documentation to see if any settings are available.

The smash attack triggers when you fall and hit an enemy, so it works anywhere you can jump and land—including underwater, though the wave effect may look different.

Make sure you're performing a true smash attack by falling from a height and hitting an enemy before landing. If the effect still doesn't appear, check that the mod is properly installed and your particle settings aren't set to minimum.
