Frequently asked questions

How do I trigger the Better Mace wave effect?
Hit a mob or player with a mace smash attack, meaning you fall onto the target and land the hit while falling. The wave appears around the enemy you hurt, so a normal ground-level swing won't produce it.
Does Better Mace make the mace do more damage?
No. The data pack only adds the visual wave around the enemy you hit. Damage works the same as the vanilla mace.
Is Better Mace a mod or a data pack, and does it need a mod loader?
It is a data pack, so it goes in your world's datapacks folder and works per world. It doesn't add new items or blocks, so you won't find anything in the creative menu for it.
