How to Call Down Lightning with the Mace

Waiting for a Thunderstorm

The lightning strike mechanic mirrors the vanilla trident rule: it activates strictly during thunderstorms. Regular rain, clear skies, or snowfall will not allow the mace to call down lightning. Keep watch for dark storm clouds, heavy rainfall, and natural thunder rumbles across the sky before attempting to use the ability.

Executing the Strike

1. Hold your Channeling-enchanted mace in your main hand during an active thunderstorm.

2. Position yourself at least 1.5 blocks higher than your intended target, such as on a ledge, a block, or from a jump off higher terrain.

3. Drop toward the enemy to initiate a fall of at least 1.5 blocks.

4. Attack the enemy while still in the air before your feet hit the floor.

If the fall distance threshold is met and your swing connects during the storm, a bolt of lightning will strike down directly onto the mob at the moment of impact.
